Tarrant County CPS caseworker accused of seeking out kids online for sex

Adrian Martinez, 44, was arrested Tuesday and booked into the Tarrant County Jail, where his bail is set at $5,000.

CPS spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales confirmed Thursday that the Saginaw man had been an employee of the agency in Fort Worth since May 2016.
