Police say a South Texas man has been charged with molesting two boys at a park after promising to teach them self-defense methods.
David Isaiah Soto of San Antonio was being held Thursday on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
San Antonio police on Wednesday arrested the 20-year-old Soto, who's denied the allegations in the case involving boys ages 11 and 12. Bexar County magistrate records didn't immediately list a bond amount.
Sgt. Jesse Salame says the boys told investigators that Soto in April began teaching them self-defense techniques at a park, then forced them to perform sex acts on him. Salame says the suspect threatened to hurt the children or their families if they reported the abuse.
One boy told a relative, who contacted police.
