Texas Men Sentenced to 17.5 and 245 Years for Child Pornography, Extortion

David Guzman, a 44-year-old man from San Antonio, was sentenced to 17 and a half years in federal prison for the receipt of child pornography, with the punishment including a lifetime of supervised release and $65,000 in restitution. Authorities discovered Guzman possessed 107 image files and 268 videos depicting disturbing acts involving infants, toddlers, and bestiality, following a federal search warrant executed in late 2022. U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons and ICE HSI San Antonio Special Agent in Charge Craig Larrabee emphasized the seriousness of the crimes and their commitment to protecting children and prosecuting offenders. Separately, a San Angelo man received a 245-year federal prison sentence for producing child pornography, extortion, and cyber-stalking after coercing at least nine children and one adult on social media to send explicit images and videos under threat of exposure. This case was part of the Justice Department’s Project Safe Childhood initiative, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat child sexual exploitation nationwide.
