Danville男子诱骗多名未成年人并以裸照勒索获刑19年:受害人最小13岁

美国司法部弗吉尼亚西区联邦检察官办公室宣布,Danville 男子 Jesus Diaz 本周在 Lynchburg 联邦法院被判处19年监禁,其后另加20年监督释放。Diaz 现年25岁,已于2026年7月就一项以损害他人名誉相威胁的勒索罪名与四项诱骗未成年人罪名认罪。
根据法庭文件,2019年7月至2021年11月间,Diaz 通过社交媒体诱骗一名当时约13至14岁的未成年人发送裸照与性内容影像。2024年2月,他时隔多年再次联系该受害人,发送其早年影像并威胁散布,以此胁迫对方重新添加其为好友,其后数月持续以向其高中、家人与教会曝光相威胁,并索要更多影像。调查其后发现,2022年至2024年间,他以类似手法诱骗另外三名当时15至17岁的未成年人,并以泄露影像相威胁。
代理联邦检察官 Robert N. Tracci 表示,被告针对并性剥削儿童,再以恐惧与恐吓令其沉默,检察官办公室将动用一切工具追究网络性掠夺者。国土安全调查局 HSI 华盛顿特区办公室代理负责人 Kai Wah Chan 表示,Diaz 以欺骗与威胁剥削年仅13岁的儿童,受害人报案并配合调查的勇气对本案结果至关重要。此案由国土安全调查局 HSI 调查,多家机构协查,助理联邦检察官 Lee Brett 负责起诉,属司法部 Project Safe Childhood 行动的一部分。
Danville Man Sentenced to 19 Years for Enticement of Multiple Minors and Extortive Threats
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia announced that Jesus Diaz, of Danville, was sentenced this week in Lynchburg to 19 years in federal prison, to be followed by 20 years of supervised release. Diaz, 25, pleaded guilty in July 2026 to one count of making extortive threats to injure the reputation of another and four counts of enticement of a minor.
According to court documents, between July 2019 and November 2021 Diaz used social media to entice a minor who was about 13 to 14 years old to send nude and sexually explicit photos and videos. In February 2024, after years without contact, he contacted her again, sent back the images she had sent years earlier and threatened to distribute them unless she added him on another platform, then spent months threatening to expose her to her high school, family and church while seeking more images. Investigators later found that between 2022 and 2024 he used similar methods with three other minors who were 15 to 17 years old, threatening to leak their images.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert N. Tracci said the defendant targeted and sexually exploited children and then tried to silence them through fear and intimidation. Kai Wah Chan, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations Washington, D.C., said Diaz used deception and threats to exploit children as young as 13 and that the victims' courage in reporting and cooperating was essential. HSI investigated the case with assistance from multiple agencies, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee Brett is prosecuting, and the case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood.
