Attorney charged with sexual assault of minor, possession of child porn

New charges stem from indictment in November

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio attorney Mark Benavides was indicted on five counts Thursday, including sexual assault of a minor and possession of child porn.

Prosecutors said Benavides recorded himself having sex with a client. This is linked to an indictment from November. Since then, investigators have reviewed those videos and determined at least one of the women he was having sex with was a minor. That's where the sexual assault of a minor and child porn possession charges stem from.
