Salazar said that a woman called deputies to her home earlier this week after walking into a room and finding Rios committing a sexual assault on a child. He ran away after she confronted him.

Deputies tracked Rios down to a hotel room and arrested him.

Salazar said Rios gave a partial confession, saying that he had “done something that he should not have done.”

Rios was booked into the Bexar County Jail with a bond set at $40,000.

Court records show that Rios posted bond and was released from jail on Thursday.
