Converse Police Department launched an investigation on Aug. 21 after receiving reports of a man exposing himself on the grounds of St. Monica Catholic Church. Officers arrived at approximately 10:15 a.m. and reviewed security footage that captured the suspect’s actions.
Video evidence shows suspect in women’s clothing
The surveillance video shows the individual, identified as Reyes Martinez Jr., a former San Antonio Police Department officer who retired on Sept. 7, 2026, parking an SUV near the elementary school classrooms attached to the church. Martinez is seen wearing women’s clothing, looking into windows, then lifting his clothing to expose himself to onlookers.
Police response and next steps
While Martinez has not been arrested, Converse Police said the investigation is ongoing. The department will file the case with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office for further review and possible prosecution.
Background on the former officer
According to the San Antonio Police Department, Martinez served with the agency for several years before retiring earlier this month. No prior allegations of this nature have been reported in public records.
Community reaction
Members of St. Monica Catholic Church expressed shock and concern over the incident, emphasizing the need for a safe environment for children and families who attend the parish. Church officials have not commented on any additional security measures they may implement.
Legal implications
Indecent exposure is a criminal offense under Texas law, and the involvement of a former law‑enforcement officer adds a layer of public interest to the case. The Bexar County District Attorney’s Office will determine whether charges are warranted based on the evidence provided by Converse Police.
The investigation underscores the importance of vigilance by local law‑enforcement agencies in responding promptly to reports of misconduct, especially when they occur in settings that serve families and children.
