A 21-year-old Texas man is jailed in Lincoln after police allege he filmed sex acts with a 17-year-old girl and later sent them to at least one of the girl’s classmates after their relationship ended, according to court filings.

Jose L. Martinez, of Laredo, met the girl through social media in 2021, when he was 20, and the two began a long-distance relationship, Lincoln Police Investigator Ben Pflanz said in the affidavit for Martinez’s arrest.
