On November 20, 2017, Joe George Zachary, of Missouri City, Texas, was arrested by Harris County Constable Precinct One Investigators with the Internet Crimes against Children Unit at an undisclosed location in Harris County.

Zachary arrived at approximately 8:45 am, to meet with someone who he believed to be an underage female, for the purpose of engaging in sex acts. The arrest follows a month-long investigation in which Zachary communicated with, and sent explicit photos and videos to an undercover officer he met on an unnamed social media app.

Zachary solicited the undercover officer, whom he believed to be a minor child, for sex acts, and then arrived on this date to engage in those acts. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges for Online Solicitation of a Minor-Second Degree Felony. Zachary has been booked into the Harris County Jail. Zachary is married and has two step-children.
