Hays County Jail Officer Arrested on Child Sex Assault Charges


George Snell

On May 6, 2025, Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office Investigators arrested George Snell on multiple felony charges, including two counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child and two counts of Indecency with a Child by Sexual Contact. The arrest followed an ongoing criminal investigation that began in 2024, with evidence presented to a Guadalupe County Grand Jury resulting in indictments for the stated offenses. At the time of his arrest, Snell was employed as a Corrections Officer at the Hays County Jail.

Guadalupe County Sheriff Joshua Ray stated, “Our Office coordinated and communicated with the Hays County Sheriff’s Office throughout the investigation. I applaud Sheriff Hipolito for his quick and decisive decision to terminate Snell in concert with his arrest. We have made it clear that there will be no tolerance for child predators. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you work, or even if you wear a badge. Our communities entrust us with a degree of authority that demands we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Sheriff Hipolito and I are lockstep in this expectation. No one is above the law, and no one is entitled to hurt a child.”
