A Richmond, Indiana man has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for his role in a disturbing child exploitation case.
Moises Bojorquez, 29, was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison, followed by a lifetime of supervised release, after pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of a child, distribution of child sexual abuse material, and possession of matter containing child sexual abuse material.
According to court documents, Bojorquez sexually abused a prepubescent relative, who was in his care and custody. In several instances, Bojorquez live chatted the sexual abuse. In other instances, Bojorquez recorded the sexual abuse and sent it to a woman via Telegram, an encrypted, cloud-based instant messaging service.
Bojorquez and the woman engaged in a months-long conversation via Telegram in which they described their shared sexual interest in children. Bojorquez also shared other child sex abuse material with the same woman via Telegram and with others via email. Investigators located more than 1,000 images and videos on Bojorquez’s two cell phones, some of which depicted infants or toddlers engaged in sexually explicit conduct and sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of violence.
“No child should suffer sexual abuse,” said John E. Childress, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “This predator cruelly exploited an innocent child to satisfy his criminal sexual desires with other likeminded predators. Thanks to the efforts of law enforcement officers, this defendant will now spend 40 years in federal prison, where he cannot sexually abuse another child.”
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, along with Homeland Security Investigations and local law enforcement agencies, investigated this case.
Acting U.S. Attorney Childress thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meredith Wood and Tiffany J. Preston, who prosecuted this case.
