A 24-year-old San Antonio woman is behind bars after investigators say she shared videos that show the sexual abuse of a very young child through the Snapchat app. Authorities say the account at the center of the case was traced to Destinee Alexis Flores, who is now in custody at the county magistrate's office.
According to News 4 San Antonio, the probe began in mid-March when Snapchat flagged multiple files and sent an urgent report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. NCMEC then forwarded the CyberTipline submission to local law enforcement, which kicked off an investigation into the account that was later traced to Flores.
Investigation and booking
Bexar County court records list Flores under booking number B202613014 and connect the Snapchat account to a phone number, an email address and a home on Pleasanton Bluff on the South Side. The county's central magistrate search confirms the booking entry and basic identifying details.
What investigators say
Investigators told News 4 San Antonio they relied on account information, subpoenas and search warrants to link the Snapchat account, associated phone records and internet activity to Flores. During surveillance at the residence, officers reportedly saw Flores with a young child who matched the description in the case. Investigators say the same woman and child appear in all of the flagged videos, and the investigation is still very much active.
Legal context
State law treats sexual performance by a child and the possession or promotion of child pornography as felonies under Chapter 43 of the Texas Penal Code. See Texas Penal Code, Ch. 43. At the federal level, statutes such as 18 U.S.C. § 2252 criminalize the distribution, receipt and possession of child sexual abuse material and carry substantial penalties.
Local pattern and reporting
San Antonio has seen related prosecutions in recent years. In a 2025 federal case, a woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for producing videos that depicted the sexual abuse of a child, a result that underscores how seriously these offenses are treated locally. See reporting by KSAT. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's CyberTipline remains a primary way for platforms to alert police when suspected child sexual abuse material surfaces online, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children explains how those reports are reviewed and forwarded to law enforcement.
Authorities say the probe into Flores remains open and have not released further information about potential charges or the child involved. Flores remains in custody as investigators continue their work. Anyone with information is urged to contact local law enforcement as the case moves through the county system.
