Tip leads to child porn possession arrest in Mabank

HENDERSON COUNTY — According to our news partner KETK, more than 10,000 videos of child pornography were allegedly found in a Mabank man’s Snapchat account.

On March 30, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a cyber tip from Snapchat for David Burlin Brewer. The sheriff’s office obtained Brewer’s IP address and Snapchat account, where they found several videos of minors showing their genital area and touching themselves. One of the videos shows a girl, who is believed to be under 10, sexually exposing herself. Officials also found multiple other videos of suspected minors performing sexual acts while naked.

“There are almost 10,000 files to view,” the affidavit said.” A lot of the files are age-difficult, but some of them are obviously children with their genitals exposed.”

On June 9, 2025, authorities executed a search warrant at Brewer’s residence, where his phone was secured. While speaking with investigators, Brewer confessed to owning the Snapchat account and the videos that contained child sexual abuse material. Brewer also admitted to knowing the ages of the girls.

“David (Brewer) said he knows the girls’ vaginas are exposed and he masturbates to the images and videos,” the affidavit said. “He also stated he knows they are under 18 years old. David then stated he thinks the youngest girl on his phone is 13 years old.”

Brewer was charged with one count of possession of child pornography and is currently booked in the Henderson County Jail.
