Gerardo Aurelio Iturbide, Sex Crimes, Utah 2026

A 24-year-old man from Mexico has been charged with producing and distributing child sexual abuse material involving a teenage girl in Utah.

Gerardo Aurelio Iturbide, 24, of Mexico, residing illegally in Hurricane, Utah, was indicted on March 10, 2026, by a federal grand jury for allegedly producing and distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) involving a teenage girl.

According to the allegations in court documents, on November 23, 2025, Iturbide met three underaged teenage girls at a gas station parking lot in Hurricane, Utah. He took the girls to a nearby hotel, where he booked a room. He then gave the girls alcohol and sexually abused two of them. He filmed himself sexually abusing one of the underaged victims and sent the video to his friend using a messaging app on his phone.

Iturbide is charged with production of child pornography and distribution of child pornography. He is currently being held on state charges of unlawful sexual contact with a minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor.

His federal initial appearance on the indictment will be held March 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in courtroom 2B at the courthouse located at 206 West Tabernacle Street, St. George, Utah 84470.

The case is being investigated by the Hurricane Police Department, with valuable assistance provided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brady Wilson of the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the federal government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

Iturbide is a 24-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, with three prior voluntary removals.

An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
