MNPD Special Victims Division detectives today arrested Brandon Bracero, 24, during the execution of a search warrant of his Lincoya Creek Drive home after he was found to be in possession of more than 550 child sex abuse images and shared those files through his online accounts.
The investigation, led by Detective Kevin Wiles, began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children last November after they had reports of an online messaging account, later found belonging to Bracero, had both uploaded and shared inappropriate images starting in September.
Bracero was charged today with four counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. He remains jailed on $100,000 bond.
