Man gets decades for recording child sex assaults

A San Antonio man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for video recording himself sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl, the Department of Justice said.

Pedro Damian Martinez, 29, pleaded guilty in September to production of child pornography, and he was sentenced last week.

In August 2021, San Antonio police were called to a home on Village Trail after a caller reported finding graphic videos on Martinez’s iphone, a federal criminal complaint said. Investigators found several videos of Martinez sexually assaulting the child on multiple occasions.
