Houston, TX
Jorge Juan Perez, a 29-year-old Houston man, has been ordered to serve 292 months in federal prison for transferring obscene material to a minor, coercing and enticing a minor, and possessing child pornography, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today.

The Innocent Images Unit of the FBI Houston Office, whose investigative efforts led to the charges, arrested Perez on Wednesday, December 15, 2010. At his detention hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Johnson considered testimony alleging that in 2008, Perez sent a letter and cash to a minor in California in an attempt to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce her to fly to Houston to engage in sexual activity for which a person could be charged with a crime. In Texas, the crime would constitute sexual assault of a person between 14 and 16 years of age. Additionally, the court learned that the state of California has issued warrants for Perez’s arrest for the alleged online enticement of a minor. The testimony also alleged that from October 2009 until July 2010, Perez maintained relationships with two minors in North Carolina by computer and cell phone. The court heard Perez allegedly attempted to persuade, induce, entice, and coerce the minors to create visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct by photographing and/or videotaping themselves. According to testimony, Perez allegedly used the threat of posting suggestive photos of the minors online if they did not comply with his demands. Perez also allegedly sent one of the minors obscene photographs of his genitals. Lastly, the court heard that Perez allegedly had ongoing online and phone contact with a 13-year-old Houston minor female and had allegedly sought out the minor and inquired about her to her friends and neighbors. Based upon these alleged factors, the court found that Perez would pose a danger to the community if released on bond.
