\"FBI<\/a>BOWLING GREEN, KY\u2014 \u00a0<\/strong>A U.S. District Court judge sentenced a 34-year-old man to 20 years in prison for blackmailing at least two young girls to send him sexually explicit images.<\/p>\n

Jesse Sanford Williams, age<\/strong> 34, pleaded guilty last week to all charges of a federal indictment, officials said. \u00a0Those charges are persuading, inducing and coercing two minor females to engage in sexually explicit conduct and for receiving child pornography, according to\u00a0Acting U.S. Attorney John E. Kuhn, Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judge Greg Stivers<\/strong>\u00a0also ordered that Williams be put on a 20-year term of supervised release,.<\/p>\n

Jesse Sanford Williams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Williams was arrested on March 7, 2014, by federal agents in Kentucky, following an investigation that began in the state of Washington on March 28, 2013.<\/p>\n

In court, Williams admitted to blackmailing, by threat, at least two minor, teen girls, in order to receive sexually explicit images of them, by means of multiple Gmail and Yahoo Internet accounts.<\/p>\n

Only two of the victims could be identified by authorities. After receiving initial images from the girls,\u00a0Williams demanded additional sexually explicit images or videos and coerced the girls by threatening to post the initial images on the Internet or send them to the girls\u2019 parents.<\/p>\n

These activities took place between June 2011 and March 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis type of crime is especially egregious since he coerced several underage girls, by producing and trading sexually explicit images of them on the Internet,\u201d said Howard S. Marshall, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Louisville Field Division<\/strong>. \u201cThese predators exploit the innocence of our children and this sentence should send a message that these acts will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe predatory conduct of Williams was despicable,\u201d stated Kuhn.<\/strong> \u201cThe coercion of these girls for his own gratification was not a harmless, inconsequential act to these victims. That he put the child of one of his friends through this is almost unimaginable. This case is a sad but powerful reminder that every parent everywhere must be vigilant against sexual predation, especially in the virtual world. This lengthy sentence is well deserved.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the evidence, these are the facts and circumstances surrounding this case:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victim-1 lived in Washington, and was 13 years of age at the onset of the Internet threats.<\/p>\n

Victim-1 told the judge that at one point during the time Williams coerced Victim-1, she attempted suicide.<\/p>\n

Victim-2 lived in Todd County, and was approximately the same age as Victim-1.<\/p>\n

Williams had very long and close personal relationships with the family of Victim-2, and was known by Victim-2 as \u201cUncle Jesse.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his Internet communications with both victims, Williams concealed his age and identity from the victims, pretending to be a much younger boy.<\/p>\n

During the investigation, \u00a0officials said a subpoena of e-mail accounts determined all e-mail accounts shared the same Internet Protocol or IP address from an account located at Logan Aluminum, a large manufacturing facility located near Russellville, Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The FBI was able to identify Williams from shift schedules, IP login times and other materials obtained in the investigation. Further, Williams admitted to knowingly receiving child pornography between June 2011 and March 2013, according to authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
