Brian Edwards, 41, of Llano County pleaded guilty June 26 to multiple charges related to child pornography and child exploitation. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Edwards was originally arrested in February 2024 on 21 charges related to the possession of child pornography, sexual performance by a child, lewd visual material depicting a child, and invasive video recording.
He ultimately pleaded guilty to charges of sexual performance of a child under the age of 14 years, sexual performance of a child, and possession of child pornography.
In total, he was sentenced to 45 years for the sexual performance of a child under the age of 14 years, 45 years for the possession of child pornography, and 20 years for sexual performance of a child—a combined 110 years in prison. He will serve the sentences concurrently, meaning at the same time, making his max term 45 years with the eligibility for parole after half that time is served.
Edwards also must register as a sex offender.
The crime of sexual performance of a child occurs when an individual knowingly induces a child younger than 18 years of age to engage in sexual conduct or performance. Normally a second-degree felony, it becomes a first-degree felony when the child is younger than 14 years.
According to 33rd/424th District Attorney Perry Thomas, multiple victims of ages older and younger than 14 years were involved in Edwards’ case.

What is wrong with this judge. This sentences should have been served consecutively. Voters should remember this come election time. He had a perfect opportunity to take this low life off the streets permanently; but instead gives him the opportunity to prey on another child in the future. Does he not understand that his victims are now scarred for life?
democrat or republican ? exactly
