Pensacola Sex Offender Pleads Guilty to Possession of Obscene Materials Involving Minors

Pensacola, Florida - Jordan T. Quinones, 30, of Pensacola, Florida, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of possession of obscene materials involving minors. The plea was announced by John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

According to court documents, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducted routine checks on Quinones as a registered sex offender in late 2025. Suspicious materials associated with the defendant led law enforcement to follow up with an interview, which resulted in obtaining a search warrant of his cellular telephone. Images depicting obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children were located on the device.

The images were cartoon or computer-generated files, which depicted sexual abuse, sadomasochistic abuse, and bestiality involving minors. Quinones maintained these images in an online account. He faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years' imprisonment and up to 20 years' imprisonment.

Quinones remains detained in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing. Sentencing is scheduled for July 14, 2026, at 1:00 pm, at the United States Courthouse in Pensacola, Florida before United States District Judge T. Kent Wetherell, II.

The case is being jointly investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg is prosecuting the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice and led by the U.S. Attorney's Offices and the Criminal Divisions Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), it marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
