SAN DIEGO \u2014<\/strong> A San Diego man\u2019s call to 911 for help ultimately exposed his yearslong effort to prey on teenage girls through social media, according to federal prosecutors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jose De Jesus Anguiano was sentenced Monday to 14 years in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for coercing or attempting to coerce at least four girls, ages 13 to 17, into sexual activity in exchange for money, marijuana or alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anguiano pleaded guilty Feb. 24 to one count of coercion and enticement of a minor.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his plea agreement, Anguiano admitted repeatedly soliciting minors for sex from at least April 28, 2022, through Aug. 29, 2024. He also admitted raping a 14-year-old girl after arranging to meet her under the pretense of providing marijuana, prosecutors said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Authorities said Anguiano used social media to gain access to teenage girls, presenting himself as a source for marijuana, alcohol and money.<\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation began with an unlikely 911 call on Aug. 29, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Anguiano had arranged to meet a minor for sex in an alley. When he arrived, the girl\u2019s trafficker allegedly held him at gunpoint and tried to steal his car.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Anguiano called the San Diego Police Department for help.<\/span><\/p>\n

When officers arrived, they pieced together why he was in the alley and contacted the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force. The investigation uncovered Anguiano\u2019s conduct involving multiple minors, according to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a sentencing memorandum, prosecutors said Anguiano had grown increasingly brazen, including attempting to recruit victims\u2019 friends or siblings and photographing one victim behind a police car.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mother of one victim told the court that sexual assault continues to affect survivors long after the physical attack ends, damaging their sense of safety, relationships and ability to trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, she said Anguiano had not taken away her daughter\u2019s future or her ability to heal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The case was investigated by the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force, San Diego and Chula Vista police departments, FBI and Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lyndzie M. Carter and Derek Ko prosecuted the case.<\/span><\/p>\n
