Production note: This article was reviewed and rewritten through Registry Recognizer's manual editorial process on 2026-09-03. The booking record and booking photograph are verified against Bell County's own source system. A search for Bell County court documents was not attempted: this outlet does not yet have a configured court-records source for Bell County, so no court filings were found or ruled out either way. The cited Texas Penal Code section is provided as legal context from the current official code, linked via a mirror; its citation was not independently evidence-captured as a source reference in this pass. No case disposition is on record.
Aaron Marks, 20, was booked at the Bell County Jail on September 2, 2026, according to the Bell County Sheriff's Office inmate inquiry system. The booking record lists one charge: PC 22.021(a)(2)(B), which it identifies as aggravated sexual assault of a child and classifies as a first-degree felony. The record cites docket number 25DCR91320 and names the Bell County Sheriff's Department as the arresting agency. No bond amount is listed in the record.
Texas Penal Code Section 22.021 defines aggravated sexual assault. Subsection (a)(2)(B) covers an assault in which the alleged victim is younger than 14 years of age, and applies regardless of whether the person charged knew the victim's age at the time of the alleged offense; the statute makes this a first-degree felony. This description is drawn from the current official Texas Penal Code and explains what the statute covers in general — it is not a finding that Marks committed any element of the offense charged.
The booking record is a public record of an arrest and charge; it describes an allegation, not a conviction, and the presumption of innocence applies unless and until a court finds otherwise. No indictment, case disposition, or other court record is available at this time. Bell County does not currently have a configured court-records source in this outlet's case-document search, so a search for filed court documents was not attempted for this booking as part of this review.
