Gatesville man arrested on felony indecency-with-a-child charge

The Coryell County Sheriff’s Office arrested 31-year-old Jesse Scott Gruber of Gatesville on Monday, June 29, after its Criminal Investigations Division executed a warrant on a felony indecency-with-a-child charge. Investigators took Gruber into custody, and the case remains active, with additional details being withheld to protect the investigation and the privacy of the people involved.
Under Texas Penal Code Section 21.11, indecency with a child involves conduct with a child younger than 17. State law splits the offense into two forms, sexual contact and sexual exposure, and the contact version is a second-degree felony and the exposure version is a third-degree felony. A conviction under the statute also carries sex-offender registration requirements.
County investigators led the case before the warrant was served. Anyone with information is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Division at (254) 865-7201. The sheriff’s office lists its main address at 510 Leon Street in Gatesville.
The U.S. Census counted 83,093 people in Coryell County and 16,135 in Gatesville in 2020. Criminal charges are allegations and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The case will now move through Coryell County court, where any formal filings and hearing dates will be handled as the investigation continues.
