Las Vegas 男子被起诉涉勒索夏威夷13岁少女制作性剥削视频：面临最高终身监禁
美国夏威夷区联邦检察官 Ken Sorenson 宣布，现年24岁、住在内华达州 Las Vegas 的 Al Justin Carter 于2026年10月15日被起诉，罪名是胁迫与引诱未成年人。案件在夏威夷联邦地区法院审理。此前，Carter 已于10月14日因刑事诉状被捕，被定于10月20日出席羁押听证会。
根据已解封的刑事诉状与其他法庭记录，2024年12月16日，Carter 说服并胁迫一名居住在夏威夷、当时13岁的未成年受害人制作一段自己的性剥削视频并通过网络发送给他。诉状称，Carter 威胁受害人：若不发送该视频，他就公开自己持有的其他涉及该受害人的性剥削视频。
若被定罪，Carter 面临最高终身监禁、25万美元罚款，以及一段监督释放。起诉书与刑事诉状中的指控仅为指控，他在法庭证明有罪之前推定无罪；如被定罪，刑期将由联邦地区法官依据法定量刑因素与量刑指南裁定。
此案由美国联邦调查局（FBI）调查，联邦助理检察官 Michael Nammar 负责起诉。
Las Vegas Man Indicted in Hawaii for Allegedly Blackmailing 13-Year-Old Into Producing Explicit Video
United States Attorney Ken Sorenson for the District of Hawaii announced that Al Justin Carter, 24, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was indicted on October 15, 2026, with coercion and enticement of a minor. The case is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii. Before being indicted, Carter was charged by criminal complaint and arrested on October 14, 2026, and was scheduled to appear for a detention hearing on October 20, 2026.
According to the unsealed criminal complaint and other court records, on December 16, 2024, Carter persuaded and coerced a minor victim who lived in Hawaii and was 13 years old at the time to make a sexually explicit video of herself and send it to him over the internet. Carter allegedly told the victim that if she did not send the video, he would make public other sexually explicit videos in his possession that featured her.
If convicted, Carter faces up to life in prison, a $250,000 fine, plus a term of supervised release. The charges in the indictment and criminal complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. In the case of conviction, any sentence would be imposed by a United States District Judge based on the statutory sentencing factors and the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines.
The FBI is investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Nammar is prosecuting the case.
