SAN ANTONIO – A supervisor in the San Antonio Police Department’s communications unit was arrested Monday, nearly two months after being indicted for felony indecency with a child, court records obtained by KSAT Investigates show.
Jason Michael Gonzales is accused of having a girl touch his private parts in May 2019.

He was indicted by a Bexar County grand jury on March 7 for indecency with a child-contact.
Gonzales was released from jail on bond the same day he was taken into custody and his case was assigned to the 290th District Court, court records show.
“Mr. Gonzales is afforded all the constitutional rights as any other citizen in our country. The government has waited four years to indict this case, and that is significant, in our opinion. Mr. Gonzales maintains his innocence as we wait for the evidence to review,” his attorney, Nico LaHood, told KSAT on Thursday.
An SAPD spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday that Gonzales’ job status is active but he is currently on leave from the department.
Gonzales has worked as a civilian employee with SAPD since December 2006, city human resources records show.
