Houston man on parole re-arrested for possession of child pornography

After being sentenced to six years in prison for possession of child pornography in 2022, a Harris County man on parole was rearrested for the same crime.

Jorge Mazuera, 37, was first arrested in August 2021 after an investigation by Officer Mark Herman’s High Tech Crimes Unit. After being sentenced to six years in prison on six charges in October 2022, he was later released on parole.

After his release, Herman’s unit again received notice that there was a warrant out for Mazuera’s arrest for violating his parole, which also included possession of obscene material depicting children.

On June 11, investigators executed a felony warrant and re-arrested Mazuera. Police say an electronic device was recovered and additional charges remain.

Herman announced Mazuera’s arrest on Facebook:

“Our Office has taken a strong stance on identifying and eradicating child pornography and will continue to dedicate the resources necessary to seek out and charge those who prey on our children,” Herman said in his message.
