According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the victim told her parent or guardian that she was sexually assaulted by Rodriguez and that Rodriguez communicated with her via Snapchat and Instagram.
A search of the victim’s cellphone by authorities showed Rodriguez frequently made several sexual advances, the affidavit says.
The affidavit says on two occasions Rodriguez forced the teen to have sex with him, the first time in March and the second time in April. At some point during the encounters Rodriguez also tattooed the name “Jay” on the girl’s upper arm, BCSO said.
Rodriguez was booked into the Bexar County Jail with a bond set at $50,000.
