Magnolia man arrested on five counts in child sexual abuse material investigation

MAGNOLIA, TX -- A Magnolia man was arrested on November 6, 2026, on five counts of promotion of child pornography following an investigation by the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office, authorities said.

Randy Allen Treadway, 45, was taken into custody by deputies with the Montgomery County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office on warrants obtained by Precinct 3 detectives. Bond was set at $500,000.

According to Constable Ryan Gable’s office, Precinct 3 detectives assigned to the Houston-Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigated multiple CyberTip reports submitted through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Detectives obtained and executed search warrants for electronic records associated with Treadway and for his residence. Detectives found digital evidence potentially involving thousands of photos and videos of suspected child sexual abuse material, along with information they say linked the electronic accounts to Treadway over several years.

The five counts fall under Texas Penal Code Section 43.26.

The investigation remains ongoing as detectives review additional digital evidence. Constable Gable extends his gratitude to Constable Chris Jones and the Precinct 5 Constable’s Office for helping apprehend Treadway.

All suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
