KXAN reached out to an attorney representing Wasek and requested a comment on the new charge. This story will be updated when we receive a response.

According to court records, detectives with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant during their initial investigation into allegations Wasek had secretly recorded people in the bedrooms and bathrooms of homes owned by his family. The search warrant led to the seizure of several visual recording and data storage devices.

In May 2024, a Travis County grand jury returned six separate indictments, charging Wasek with 21 counts of felony invasive recording. Those cases remain pending in district courts.

to be compared with known victims in its database, which identified a juvenile female age 6-8 years old, according to the arrest warrant.

The juvenile victim was linked to a federal investigation conducted by the FBI that led to the suspect who recorded the juvenile being convicted of two counts of production of child ************, one count of distribution of child ************, and another count for possessing the content, records show.

The FBI confirmed the juvenile victim was 7-years-old when these images were produced and illegally distributed on the internet.

According to Travis County Jail records, Wasek is not currently in custody or has not been arrested yet.
