Fayetteville, Arkansas criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Sexually Exploiting and Abusing an 8-Year-Old Female
Green Forest Man Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison for Sexually Exploiting and Abusing an 8-Year-Old Female

A Green Forest man was sentenced to 360 months imprisonment without the possibility of parole on two (2) Counts of Sexually Exploiting a Minor via the Production of Child Pornography. The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks presided over the sentencing hearings, which was held in the U.S. District Court in Fayetteville.

Per Court documents, in February of 2023, agents and task force officers with Homeland Security Investigations received information that Terencio “Junior” Perez-Cancino, age 33, had uploaded images to Snap Chat servers showing him sexually abusing an approximately eight-year-old female. Officers and agents served a search warrant at Perez-Cancino’s home, and in a post-Miranda interview, he admitted he had created the images depicting his abuse of the minor female approximately two years prior. The minor subsequently disclosed in a forensic interview that Perez-Cancino had sexually abused her over an approximately four-year period.

U.S. Attorney Clay Fowlkes of the Western District of Arkansas made the announcement.

Homeland Security Investigations, the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, the Eureka Springs Police Department, and the Green Forest Police Department investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Devon Still prosecuted these cases on behalf of the United States.
