SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said they arrested a man accused of sexually abusing a juvenile for several years.

Gilbert Casanova, 76, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child, BCSO said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

Deputies said that the juvenile reported the abuse by Casanova in May and an arrest warrant was issued this month.

“Through the course of the investigation, investigators discovered Casanova was in possession of and had distributed child pornography,” the post states.

His bond is set at $100,000, records show.

BCSO said the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the suspect or his involvement in child pornography is asked to contact BCSO at 210-335-6070 or BCSOTIPS@bexar.org.
