MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — Montgomery County law enforcement is urging parents to be careful when allowing minors to use ride-sharing programs after a driver was arrested for sending explicit photos to a minor, according to court documents.
On Wednesday, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Precinct 1 announced the arrest of Josiah Carroll, who is accused of online solicitation of a minor.
Authorities said that in April 2026, they received a complaint alleging that Carroll, a ride-hailing driver, sent sexually explicit images to an underage minor.
An investigation revealed that Carroll exchanged personal contact information with the minor during the trip, which was then used to send explicit material, according to Pct. 1.
Based on the evidence, authorities were able to obtain an arrest warrant for Carroll. He was taken into custody and charged with a second-degree felony.
As the investigation continues, authorities said they have identified a possible second victim, and are now urging anyone who may have been in contact with Carroll through a ride-sharing service, social media or other form to come forward.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Montgomery County District Attorney’s ICAC Division at 936-539-7800.
