Bradley Quillen, a 31-year-old former teacher and coach at Rogers Middle School in Arkansas, was sentenced to 31 years in prison for exploiting and coercing minors online. Quillen used social media platforms to target multiple minor females, including two girls aged 8 and 12, and coerced them into sending sexually explicit images. The crimes took place between 2024 and 2025, with Quillen using a false online persona of a teenage boy to groom his victims.
The investigation began in April 2024 when the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office in Wisconsin contacted the Benton County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas, identifying Quillen as a suspect. A search warrant was executed at Quillen’s home, and a forensic review of his electronic devices revealed hundreds of instances of online exploitation.
Quillen pleaded guilty to the charges in November 2025 and was sentenced on May 13, 2026, by Chief Judge Timothy L. Brooks in the US District Court in Fayetteville. The sentence includes 25 years of supervised release after his prison term.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, and the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office, with Assistant US Attorney Tyler Williams prosecuting the case.
