Former Disney Actor Matt Prokop Arrested in Texas on Child Pornography Charge

Authorities say the Dec. 24 arrest followed an alleged bond violation tied to a 2024 assault case.

Overview

  • Prokop, 35, was taken into custody on Dec. 24 in Victoria County, Texas, with multiple outlets confirming the booking via jail officials.
  • He faces a second-degree felony count of possession of child pornography and four misdemeanors: violation of bond or protective order, evading arrest or detention, and two counts of resisting arrest, search or transportation.
  • Local reporting indicates a judge signed a Dec. 31 warrant that added the child pornography count to the case.
  • Reports differ on his custody terms, with some outlets citing no bail and others a $117,500 bond, and no court date has been announced.
  • Coverage notes his prior legal history, including a 2014 restraining order obtained by ex-girlfriend Sarah Hyland documented in court filings alleging abuse.
