1. 55-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting two children for years
SAN ANTONIO – A 55-year-old man has been arrested after two children made an outcry that he had sexually assaulted them over the course of seven years, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Bryce Conrad Chatland was arrested Wednesday and charged with two first-degree felony counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child. His bonds total $160,000 for the charges.
On June 7, the victims told investigators with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office that Chatland had been sexually abusing them for years starting in 2016.
The victims told deputies that they also believed they had been recorded.
During the investigation, deputies found a camera disguised as a phone charger that contained multiple videos of the juvenile victims.
According to the affidavit, Chatland was discovered to have left San Antonio for Dripping Springs on June 20. He was arrested the following day.
Bexar County court records reveal no previous charges for Chatland.
A conviction for a first-degree felony in Texas carries a possible punishment of 5-99 years in prison.

3. Sheriff says one man used porn to groom a child for sexual abuse, while a mom caught another
Two men were arrested Wednesday on separate charges of sexual abuse to a child.
Bryce Conrad Chatland, 55, faces two charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child.
Sheriff Javier Salazar said the children involved were girls ages 15 and 13.
One of the parents reported the abuse to the Department of Family Protective Services and her attorney, who notified the sheriff’s office on June 14.
The children were interviewed and said Chatland had been sexually abusing them for several years.
Officials said the oldest of the two girls said she was sexually abused for at least eight years.
The younger girl also described having been sexually abused and told authorities he showed her pornographic content. Introducing pornography to children, Salazar said, is one way to groom them for abuse.
