A young man is being held at the Denton County Jail after allegedly sending intimate photos to a juvenile victim.
Juan Jose Pernia-Bohorquez, 19 of Flower Mound, was arrested by Highland Village PD after officers looked into a July 26 report from a juvenile victim claiming a man had sexually assaulted them on Saturday, July 18.
According to officials, the victim was allegedly assaulted after exchanging nude photos with Pernia-Bohorquez via the photo-focused messaging app Snapchat.
When the suspect was arrested, officials learned Pernia-Bohorquez had immigration violations, so an ICE detainer was placed on him.
According to court records, Pernia-Bohorquez was booked into the Denton County Jail on Wednesday, Aug. 12, and is currently being held there on a $100,000 surety bond with conditions.
He is facing sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography charges.
