Marcos Antonio Trejo Islas Charged With Possession Of Child P*rn, Solicitation, More. Bond Set At $660k. Lives In Watergate Estates.

UPDATE

According to investigators, Islas, originally from Mexico, texted an underage girl for several months after meeting her on an app called “Anime Music” in July of 2022. The girl, who lives out of state, said that the two exchanged nude pictures and videos before Islas asked her to involve her sister, as well. The sister was resistant but ultimately sent Islas pictures of herself in her underwear, to spite Islas asking for more.

Eventually, the parents found out and notified the local authorities. PBSO was subsequently notified and apprehended Islas in November of 2022. Investigators found illegal images and videos of underage girls on Islas’ cell phone. Islas claims he thought the underage girl he met online was 18.
