The Texas Attorney General's office has indicted a former Kerr County resident on 21 counts of possession of child pornography.

Robert Bales, 61, turned himself into the Kerr County Sheriff's Office on Monday night shortly after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Bales was arrested in July on one count of possession of child pornography after investigators found two flash drives with naked pictures of children ages 3 to 13.

These additional charges stem from that arrest.

Each count is a second-degree felony carrying a penalty of between two and 20 years in prison.

A public records check of Bales shows that he moved from Hunt to Pearsall after being arrested in July.

He is currently being held in the Kerr County Jail on a $420,000 bond.
