According to federal investigators, Kotara participated in a messaging group dedicated to child abuse and exploitation. Through that app, he sent child sexual abuse material to an undercover agent.
“This is a horrible crime, and our agents and law enforcement partners are working to prevent these types of crimes every single day,” said Special Agent in Charge Oliver E. Rich Jr. of the FBI San Antonio Division. “The FBI will remain vigilant in our efforts to rescue children from those who seek to exploit or prey upon them.”
