Enrique Adrian Yanez, 36, of Tucson, was sentenced last week by United States District Judge John C. Hinderaker to 42 months in prison, followed by lifetime supervised release. When Yanez is released from prison, he will be required to register as a sex offender. Yanez pleaded guilty on February 29, 2024, to one count of Knowing Access of Child Pornography.
