Federal authorities seized 21 electronic devices from Bautista’s home, which contained 15,000 images and more than 8,200 videos containing child sex abuse material, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Bautista was also ordered to pay $84,000 in restitution; special assessments in the amounts of $100, $5,000 and $35,000; and he must give up his electronic devices.

“This lengthy two-decade prison sentence reflects the horrendous damage that has been caused and furthered by the defendant’s actions,” said U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza for the Western District of Texas. “Thank you to our law enforcement partners for their critical investigation. Together, we will continue to track down and prosecute offenders in the interest of protecting innocent children and keeping our communities safe.”
