A former Montgomery County school employee was jailed in connection with an online child exploitation investigation.
Jaime J. Gonzalez, 63, was arrested and charged with online solicitation of a minor, a second-degree felony, as well as possession of a controlled substance, a third-degree felony.
Gonzalez is a former employee of both Tomball and Magnolia Independent School Districts.
He worked in the districts’ transportation departments, at their bus barns, according to a media release from Montgomery County Precinct 1 Constable Philip Cash.
Detectives with Constable Cash’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force made the arrest, along with Task Force detectives from Precincts 2, 4, and 5.
According to Cash, school resource officers from both districts have been notified of Gonzalez’ arrest.
Gonzalez was arrested on July 29. He is being held in the Montgomery County jail. Bail is set at $33,000.
Hundreds of Texas school employees have been accused of sex crimes involving children in just the past few years.
