SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A San Antonio man arrested this week, and accused of possessing material depicting child sexual abuse, was previously charged with online solicitation of a minor. <\/p>\n
Bexar County jail records indicate Mirko Peter Kerkez, 32, was arrested Wednesday and charged with:<\/p>\n
Possessing between 100 and 500 visual depictions of child pornography <\/p>\n
Possessing between 10 and 50 depictions of child pornography <\/p>\n
According to an arrest warrant, Kerkez allegedly uploaded 37 depictions of child sex abuse material to a social media platform in November 2024.<\/p>\n
One of those files included a 19-second video of a child who was sexually abused, the affidavit states. <\/p>\n
In November 2025, an officer with the Texas Attorney General\u2019s Office obtained search warrants for three accounts believed to be connected to Kerkez on the same social media platform.<\/p>\n
In the affidavit, the investigator \u201cobserved\u201d nearly 46 items that met the criteria of \u201cchild pornography\u201d associated with one of Kerkez\u2019s accounts. <\/p>\n
According to the warrant, Kerkez allegedly talked about his \u201cfantasy\u201d of performing sex acts with girls as young as 7 years old with another user.<\/p>\n
Investigators said he sent photos of himself to at least one other user, which depicted some of his \u201clarge and identifiable tattoos.\u201d <\/p>\n
Bexar County court records also show Kerkez is \u201cawaiting trial\u201d regarding an online solicitation of a minor charge, which is considered a third-degree felony.<\/p>\n
In that report, Kerkez is accused of discussing sex acts and sharing at least one photo with an undercover investigator who identified themselves as a 15-year-old girl. <\/p>\n
In March, investigators with the AG\u2019s office visited Kerkez\u2019s home on the Northeast Side. When they arrived at the home, a woman at the home told authorities that Kerkez worked as a construction worker remodeling a bathroom at a local school. <\/p>\n
As of Thursday evening, Kerkez remains in custody at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.<\/p>\n
