On Monday, November 28, 2016, the Brown County Sheriff’s Office arrested Gilbert Contreras for Indecency with a Child/Sexual Contact. Contreras was released from the Brown County Jail on a $20,000 bond. The indictment occurred after an outcry involving an incident in 2008 in which Contreras was accused of sexual contact with a girl, who he knew, was under the age of 17.

Contreras potentially faced a maximum of 10 years in prison. Instead, he was sentenced to probation and will have to register as a sex offender for 10 years after he completes the requirements of probation.

Contreras has also been indicted for Driving While Intoxicated in Taylor County. That case is currently pending.
