Attempts to reach Medrano’s court-appointed lawyer weren’t immediately successful.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2qwRFZP ) that Medrano was arrested April 21 after an investigation of a 30-second video depicting a man having sex with a child.

The newspaper says a woman provided the video to police.
