James Dooly Pollock, Child Pornography, New Mexico 2021

A Deming man is facing federal charges for producing and distributing child pornography, according to a recent indictment.

James Dooly Pollock, 37, of Deming, New Mexico, made an initial appearance in federal court on March 24 facing charges of production of child pornography and distribution of child pornography.

Pollock will remain in custody until the case is resolved.

According to a criminal complaint, on Dec 30, 2021, the father of a 14-year-old victim submitted his daughter’s cell phone to the Truth or Consequences Police Department (TCPD) and reported that the cell phone contained videos of an adult male having sex with the victim.

After obtaining the father’s permission and a search warrant, TCPD transferred the cell phone to New Mexico State Police (NMSP) for extraction of the phone’s contents.

The complaint alleges that the phone contained eight videos of Pollock engaging in sexual conduct with the victim. Four of the videos were sent from Pollock to the victim and the other four from the victim to Pollock.

The phone also allegedly contained messages between Pollock and the victim reflecting an intimate relationship.

A complaint is only an allegation. A defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.

If convicted, Pollock faces a minimum of 15 years and up to 30 years in prison for each of the eight counts in the complaint.

Pollock is currently being held in custody until the case is resolved.

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), NMSP and TCPD. Assistant United States Attorney Marisa A. Ong is prosecuting the case.
