San Antonio police arrested a man on the city’s West Side after a woman reported that he had sexually abused her in the past, and detectives say others then came forward with similar accounts. Officers located the man in the 9900 block of Kriewald Road, took him into custody without incident, and say the investigation is still active. Police said the man is believed to be about 50 years old.
West Side Arrest Near Kriewald Road
Officers were dispatched to the 9900 block of Kriewald Road on a wanted-person call tied to an alleged sexual assault of a minor, which led them to the suspect. Detectives report that at least one woman initially came forward about past abuse and that additional people later reported similar incidents, prompting investigators to widen the scope of the case. According to KENS 5, the man was taken into custody without incident and the inquiry remains ongoing.
Charges And Legal Next Steps
Police have not announced specific charges as detectives continue gathering evidence and interviewing potential victims. Allegations that involve minors can be prosecuted under statutes such as aggravated sexual assault or continuous sexual abuse, and those potential provisions and penalties are detailed in the Texas Penal Code. Once the investigative file is complete, prosecutors will review the case before deciding on any formal charges.
