An Austin man was recently arrested on criminal charges related to alleged sexual exploitation of a child through social media. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Texas says in a news release that 29-year-old Jonathan Ruiz-Correa, allegedly using the name “Lucas” and claiming to be a 17-year-old, began chatting on Snapchat with a 14-year-old girl in May. Court documents allege that Ruiz-Correa knew the girl’s age and their conversations included discussion of sexually explicit videos Ruiz-Correa wanted the girl to send him, which she eventually did.
