An FBI employee is accused of having multiple videos of children being sexually assaulted, Texas police said.

Brian Rausch, an analyst with the FBI in Houston, was arrested May 27 and his home was searched, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Precinct 3 said in a news release.

McClatchy News reached out to the FBI office in Houston for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

An investigation by the precinct’s internet crimes against children unit was conducted in May and found that Rausch was in possession of multiple videos of child sexual assault, deputies said.

Authorities raided the FBI employee’s home the morning of May 27, KTRK reported.

Rausch was charged with five counts of possession of child pornography in Harris County, deputies said. He was also charged with two federal felonies.

The man was taken to Harris County Jail.
