MONTGOMERY COUNTY – A Montgomery County man who worked around children has been arrested in a child porn bust after investigators say they found hundreds of images of child sexual assault material.
Deputies with Montgomery County Constable Precinct 3 arrested Luis Felipe Bracamonte, 61, at his home in Conroe on Tuesday morning.
He’s charged with five counts of promotion or distribution of child pornography with a total bond of $300,000, according to the Precinct 3 Constable’s Office. It was initially set at $150,000.
“There isn’t a belief that there are any victims here in the area, but the fact he is distributing here, he could have distributed to anyone else had (the detective) not been involved in a specific investigation,” Lt. Ken Washington said.
Bracamonte allegedly sent the graphic images depicting infants and toddlers to an undercover detective. Investigators searched his home for additional potential evidence at the time of his arrest.

Investigators learned he worked at a Main Event near The Woodlands, which is advertised online as a bowling, games, billiards and laser tag entertainment destination. It’s also suggested as a spot for children’s birthday parties.
A spokesperson for Main Event shared the following statement with KPRC 2:
“We were made aware of this matter today and have placed the employee on suspension, pending the outcome of the police investigation. For all other questions, please contact the local police department, as this remains an active investigation,” the spokesperson wrote in an email.
While investigators say they don’t know where the images originated, they don’t believe they came from any local victims or anyone connected to Bracamonte’s workplace.
Regardless, Washington said it’s a reminder for parents to be aware of what kids are doing on social media and who they are spending time around.
“They come from all walks and backgrounds, and that’s what we’re trying to make the community aware of,” Washington said. “They can be your your pastor, your coach or teacher or whoever, so there’s always that huge concern, especially when you’re talking about something like Main Event, where they’re children out there and they’re around these individuals.”
