On Sept. 15, the boy's mother filed a police report with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office after her son told her that he was sexually abused by Garza, according to an arrest affidavit.

The mother was instructed by authorities to take her son to the Children's Hospital of San Antonio, where the boy made an outcry to a forensic nurse that was consistent to what he told his mother, the affidavit said.

Garza has since been released from the Bexar County Jail after posting $75,000 bail.
