San Angelo Man Charged with Sex Trafficking Minors and Adults.
A 21-year-old San Angelo man is facing serious charges after allegedly coercing minors and adults into producing explicit content, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Leigha Simonton.
Juelz Sincere Armstead, 21, was charged in a superseding indictment with seven counts of production and attempted production of child pornography, two counts of attempted production of child pornography, and ten counts of cyber stalking. He was arraigned on Wednesday before U. S. Magistrate John R. Parker and is currently in custody.
According to the superseding indictment, beginning in August 2021, Mr. Armstead persuaded at least seven minors to engage in sexually explicit conduct and produced visuals of such conduct. On February 26, 2024, Mr. Armstead attempted to do the same with two additional minors. Mr. Armstead used the images he produced to harass and intimidate the individuals and caused them substantial emotional distress.
The investigation involved multiple law enforcement agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations, Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office, San Angelo Police Department, and several federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in Texas, Indiana, Oregon, California, New Jersey, Colorado, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Kansas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi.
An indictment is merely an allegation, not evidence. Mr. Armstead is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Callie Woolam is prosecuting the federal case.
