Due to the charges, Benavidez is required to register as a lifetime sex offender, the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office stated in the news release.
Authorities responded to a call on July 4, 2018, where the victim’s mother reported an incident involving Benavidez and a 7-year-old child.
An investigation into Benavidez uncovered additional instances of sexual abuse that were ongoing for more than a year.
The district attorney’s office said a continuous sex abuse of a child charge carries a sentence of 25 to 99 years or life in prison without parole.
An indecency with a child by sexual contact charge can carry between a two and 20-year prison sentence.
