SAN ANTONIO – A former Bexar County juvenile probation employee was arrested Monday after allegedly exchanging sexual messages with a 16-year-old girl he met at the detention center, Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
Salvador Herrera, 26, was taken into custody on suspicion of online solicitation of a minor.

Salazar said investigators received information about Herrera, leading to a months-long investigation against him.
Investigators believe Herrera started messaging the teen after he met her at the detention center. The two exchanged several sexual messages, and Herrera allegedly sent her cash and jewelry in exchange for the content.
“There’s evidence of other victims in this case,” Salazar said.
However, Salazar said roughly four other potential victims they know of have not cooperated with investigators.
Anyone with information on Herrera is asked to call 210-335-5110.
Herrera, a residential treatment officer, was fired from the Bexar County Juvenile Probation Department months ago when the investigation first began, Salazar said.
