A Springdale man has been sentenced to over 22 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.
Juan Ordenas-Lucas, 27, of Springdale, Arkansas, was sentenced to 276 months in federal prison without the possibility of parole followed by 20 years of supervised release on one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor via the Production of Child Pornography.
The sentencing hearing took place in the United States District Court in Fayetteville, with the Honorable Timothy L. Brooks presiding over the case.
According to court records, in November 2019, the Springdale Police Department was made aware of videos of child exploitation located on Ordenas-Lucas’ phone. A subsequent search warrant of the phone revealed a video recorded by Ordenas-Lucas of him sexually abusing a 7-year-old female.
Ordenas-Lucas was indicted in January 2020 and entered a guilty plea in June 2020.
This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations Fayetteville, the Northwest Arkansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, and the Springdale Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Carly Marshall prosecuted the case for the United States.
Ordenas-Lucas’ name is now etched in the records as a convicted sex offender, and his sentence serves as a stark reminder of the severity of child exploitation crimes.
