The affidavit states that the girl's mother allowed Salas to "babysit" the girl on numerous occasions.
Court documents state the girl's mother was awoken at roughly 3 a.m. the morning of February 27 to commotion coming from the girl's bedroom. When the mother went to investigate, court documents state the girl showed signs of methamphetamine ingestion.
The affidavit states the girl told investigators that she got the methamphetamine from Salas while at his house. They then smoked it out of a flashlight bong, court documents state. Police also found a number of electronic recording devices in Salas's residence.
According to court documents, investigators found hundreds of videos on Salas's computer depicting sexual acts with children. Those included the alleged victim, court documents state.
For example, court documents state Salas is heard in a video asking the girl her age. Immediately after she replies "13," Salas performs a sex act on her.
Court documents additionally state that an unnamed person told investigators that Salas would bring females over to his apartment, give them methamphetamine, MDMA or heroin and then photograph them.
According to court documents, investigators found hundreds of videos on Salas's computer depicting sex acts with children and in some cases they involved children as young as infants.
Salas has not had an opportunity to enter pleas to the charges.
