PENSACOLA — A 30-year-old registered sex offender pleaded guilty in federal court to possession of obscene materials involving minors after routine monitoring by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement uncovered his continued criminal activity, U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin announced.
Jordan T. Quinones of Pensacola faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years’ imprisonment and up to 20 years behind bars. He remains detained in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing.
“Thanks to the vigilance of our state law enforcement partners in closely monitoring this sex offender, they were able to detect his continued criminal sexual deviance and help bring him to justice,” Heekin said. “Keeping our kids safe from sexual predators like this defendant remains one of my office’s top priorities, and we will continue to aggressively prosecute these cases.”
Court documents show FDLE conducted routine checks on Quinones as a registered sex offender in late 2025. When suspicious materials were associated with the defendant, law enforcement interviewed Quinones and obtained a search warrant for his cellular telephone. Agents located images depicting obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children stored in an online account. The files were cartoon or computer-generated depictions of sexual abuse, sadomasochistic abuse and bestiality involving minors.
The case is being jointly investigated by FDLE and Homeland Security Investigations and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg. It was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 14, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the United States Courthouse in Pensacola before United States District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II.
