Gerardo Gonzalez
Introduction
Gerardo Antonio Gonzalez is a 22-year-old former evening custodian at Greens Prairie Elementary School in College Station, Texas, who was arrested in September 2026 on child sexual abuse material charges after a Snapchat tip, and charged again in October with continuously sexually abusing the child seen in the videos he allegedly shared. He remains in the Brazos County jail.
Background Information
Gonzalez worked at Greens Prairie Elementary School in the College Station Independent School District from February 2025 until his arrest in September 2026, according to Texas Scorecard. The school serves elementary-grade students in the Brazos Valley.
College Station ISD confirmed that Gonzalez was an evening custodian at the campus and that he was terminated immediately when district officials were notified of his arrest.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Charged, not convicted. Gonzalez has not been tried, and the charges remain pending. The account below comes from arrest affidavits as reported by KBTX and Texas Scorecard, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
On September 21, 2026, an investigator with the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office was assigned a tip forwarded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children from Snapchat. According to the affidavit, a user later identified as Gonzalez shared more than a dozen files containing child sexual abuse material involving a preteen girl. The tip also indicated 18 other reports to the NCMEC involving Gonzalez’s IP address.
Investigators said the videos shared through the platform appeared to be self-produced, showing an adult male abusing a child. A Brazos County sergeant later interviewed Gonzalez at Greens Prairie Elementary and matched a distinctive broken-heart tattoo on his left hand to the one visible on the suspect in the recordings, per the affidavit.
Gonzalez was arrested the morning of September 23, 2026, before he returned to a school campus, and charged with two counts of possession with intent to promote child pornography along with a drug possession charge. On October 7, the Sheriff’s Office Special Investigative Unit said further investigation led to an additional warrant charging Gonzalez with continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14. Texas Scorecard reported total bonds for the four charges at $415,000.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The district moved quickly after the initial arrest. In a letter sent to families, College Station ISD stated it immediately launched an internal review of Gonzalez’s district-issued digital records once officials learned of the investigation, and said a security sweep of the Greens Prairie campus found nothing.
Investigators say they do not believe any of the offenses were related to Gonzalez’s former employment at the district. Gonzalez is listed in the state’s Do Not Hire Registry as “under investigation,” according to Texas Scorecard.
Current Status
Gonzalez remains held in the Brazos County jail on charges of two counts of possession with intent to promote child pornography, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and possession of a controlled substance. His case remains pending, and he has not been convicted of any offense.
The investigation by the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office is ongoing, and authorities have not said whether additional charges are expected.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Gonzalez’s year-and-a-half employment in the College Station school district ended with a same-day termination after the September arrest, and his entry in the state’s Do Not Hire Registry forecloses future work in Texas public schools while the case proceeds. The continuous sexual abuse charge added in October carries a sentence of 25 years to life without parole under Texas law if proven; as of October 2026 the allegations remain unproven charges in an active prosecution.
