Brazoria Man Sentenced to Life for Coercing Nude Photos from 13-Year-Old

GALVESTON, Texas – A federal judge has handed down a guilty verdict against 45-year-old George Jimenez for coercing obscene photos from a 13-year-old girl, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown found Jimenez guilty of coercion and enticement of a minor following a one-day trial that commenced April 3. In April 2019, law enforcement discovered Jimenez had sent pictures of his genitals to a 13-year-old girl and other contacts in his phone, including five minors aged 12 and 13.

Authorities executed a federal search warrant and found that Jimenez was using the TextNow application to disguise himself as a teenage boy to engage in sexually explicit conversations with minors. From March until April 2019, Jimenez engaged in these communications, including sending at least five pictures of his genitals to the 13-year-old child.

In a text exchange, the minor shared information with Jimenez that she shaved her genital region. Jimenez then sent messages asking to see images of it. The defense attempted to convince the court that the messages did not rise to the level of attempting to persuade the minor to send him sexually explicit photos of herself. However, Judge Brown found Jimenez guilty as charged, stating that the requests were ‘direct, specific and unambiguous.’

In his ruling, Judge Brown stated, “these requests were direct, specific and unambiguous. They were not shrouded in innuendo or bashfulness. Simply put, there is no question that Jimenez repeatedly asked [the minor] to take and send him pictures of her genitals and pubic area.”

Jimenez faces 10 years to life in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine at sentencing on June 12. He has been and will remain in custody pending sentencing. The FBI conducted the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Karen M. Lansden and Sherin S. Daniel are prosecuting the case as part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Project Safe Childhood has led to the location, apprehension and prosecution of individuals who sexually exploit children and identifies and rescues victims. For more information about PSC, please visit the DOJ’s PSC page. For internet safety education, please visit the resources tab on that page.
