The Star Telegram reported that Joe Garza Jr. lent his laptop to a “family friend,” who noticed a file that aroused curiosity. The friend then found nude photographs of his 10-year-old sister. A Fort Worth officer said that the victim’s brother borrowed Garza’s computer because he was trying to fix his hard drive. He then returned the computer and told his parents — the victim’s mother texted Garza asking him to come over and talk.

The officer also said that Garza told the mother that “he has a problem and asked her not to call the police and that he would disappear and not come back.” Another sibling called the authorities and Garza was still at the victim’s house when the police arrived. The arrest warrant states that the suspect “confessed to sexually abusing the 10-year-old girl as well as taking photographs and video…he also confessed to molesting the girl’s older sister when she was about 10 or 11.”

Police searched the computer and found videos of both girls, including a disturbing clip in which a victim is hanging upside down from a rope. After searching his home, police found “a wooden swing-like contraption with white rope hanging from a rafter in the dining room.”

On Tuesday, after discovering more information relating to the older sister’s abuse, prosecutors filed another charge of “continuous sexual abuse of a child.” Garza is currently being held at Tarrant County Jail on a $145,000 bail.
