An Oklahoma man who allegedly sexually assaulted an infant and
later posted a recording of the act on social media was captured
by the U.S. Marshals Service in Texas on Thursday, authorities
said.
Brice Gage Watkins, 22, had eluded Oklahoma police since being
charged Aug. 14 with one felony count of distribution of child
pornography, prompting U.S. Marshals to join the search this
week. Watkins was later charged with additional counts of
manufacturing child pornography and three counts of lewd acts
with a child under 12, according to police.
Watkins was taken into custody by members of the Lone Star
Fugitive Task Force at a "known associate's residence" in San
Marcos, Texas, the U.S. Marshals said in a press release.
The child victim, who turned 1 in June, authorities said, was
about 6 months old at the time of Watkins' alleged abuse.
The Oklahoma City Police Department thanked the U.S. Marshals
and "all involved investigators" in a Twitter post announcing
Watkins' arrest. The Enid Police Department, via Facebook, also
thanked "numerous members of the public who submitted tips"
during the nearly month-long search for Watkins.
A spokesman for Enid police described Watkins' alleged acts as
"despicable" in a statement to USA TODAY earlier this week and
said he needed to be "taken into custody immediately."
