The mother contacted police and turned the phone in for evidence. Investigators determined the abuse allegedly happened on multiple occasions when the child stayed overnight at a friend’s home where Villagonza, a relative of one of the victim’s schoolmates, lived. During an interview with investigators, Villagonza admitted to the abuse, the district attorney’s office said. A search warrant was issued for Villagonza’s cellphone, which later revealed messages from his ongoing communication with the victim and corroborated the abuse allegations, officials said. Villagonza and the victim initially communicated through Snapchat before he asked the child to switch to Instagram, believing it to be a “safer option,” the district attorney’s office said. A DA’s office spokesperson said Villagonza will not eligible for parole and is required to serve the entire 32-year sentence in prison.Copyright 2026 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
