A 32-year-old San Antonio man was taken into custody at the end of December after two young girls told investigators they had endured sexual abuse over multiple years. The allegations are laid out in an arrest affidavit and in forensic interviews that investigators say were conducted in November. Authorities allege some of the incidents happened at a home in the 7200 block of Glen Point and at an Airbnb in Florida.
According to KENS5, the girls were 9 and 10 when the abuse was reported and described a pattern of repeated, explicit conduct. One girl told investigators the abuse started when she was about 10, and the other described a similar, long-running pattern, according to the affidavit. Those accounts and the written affidavit led investigators to seek an arrest warrant for the suspect.
Booking records show Esparza in custody
Public magistrate records identify the defendant as Daniel Pina Esparza, born May 10, 1993, and show he was booked under number B202550833 late in December. The Bexar County Central Magistrate listing states Esparza is in custody following his arrest and processing, with the entry available through the county’s online system at Bexar County Central Magistrate.
Allegations described in the affidavit
The arrest affidavit, as reported by KENS5, describes repeated and explicit acts and notes that the victims’ statements backed up one another. Investigators say the allegations cover roughly a two-year span, and they sought six counts of prohibited sexual conduct against Esparza tied to those alleged incidents. Records from the Bexar County Central Magistrate indicate Esparza was arrested on Dec. 31, 2025.
What the charge covers
"Prohibited sexual conduct" is the statute cited in the case. Under Texas law, that offense involves sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse between certain closely related family members. A violation of Texas Penal Code §25.02 is generally a third-degree felony, though potential penalties can shift depending on the specific relationship and circumstances alleged. The statute’s wording and penalty framework are laid out in the Texas Penal Code, as published on Justia.
Next steps in the case
The case will now move through the Bexar County criminal court system, where prosecutors are expected to review the evidence and the court will schedule an arraignment and follow-up hearings. As in any criminal proceeding, the claims described in the affidavit remain allegations at this stage, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
