A Fresno man was sentenced in federal court on Wednesday for sexual exploitation of a minor and receipt of child pornography.
Nicolas Adan Guereca, 25, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and was ordered to pay $60,200 in financial assessments.
The big picture: Court documents state that Guereca used a cellphone and an instagram account in July 2019 to locate and communicate with a minor victim.
- Guereca coerced the victim to engage in sexually explicit conduct and create visual depictions of that conduct for the purpose of transmitting them to him.
- Investigators later learned that he had used multiple phones and Yahoo, Snapchat and Instagram accounts to communicate with minor females.
- Some of the minors who he received images of were as young as 12 years old. The minors were engaged in sexual conduct in the images.
What we’re watching: After he is released from prison, Guereca will be followed with a lifetime of supervision.
- His access to minors, computers and the internet will be restricted.
- He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.
