A Bryan man has been jailed for the second time in less than a month on child pornography charges. According to the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office, 34-year-old James Carbajal was arrested again as part of an ongoing investigation.
The latest arrest report states that Carbajal was found in possession of over 100 digital photos and videos containing child pornography.

Carbajal was first arrested on February 28 and released three days later after posting a $25,000 bond. He was taken into custody again on March 25, and as of March 27, he remains jailed with bond set at $50,000.
