Miami, FL - Davie Resident Sentenced to 40 years in Prison for Enticing Minors to Engage in Sexual Acts and Producing Child Pornography
Henry Alvarez Flores, 38, of Davie, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for enticing three minors to engage in illicit sexual activity and producing child pornography of the sexual acts.
Flores previously pled guilty to the indictment which charged three counts of production of child pornography and three counts of enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity in violation of, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2251(a) and 2422(b).
According to court records, including the agreed upon factual proffer, in 2018, Flores began communicating with three children who were eleven and twelve year old boys via Facebook messenger. Flores contacted the minors on social media, pretending to be a young woman. Once the children accepted his “friend request,” Flores would demand that each of the boys engage in sexually explicit conduct and record videos of themselves doing so. Flores directed which sex acts to perform in the videos and offered to send the children Google Play gift cards in exchange for the sexually explicit videos. When one of the children refused to comply, Flores threatened to expose the minor child and his family who were in the country without status.
U.S. Attorney Fajardo Orshan commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, including the FBI Miami’s Child Exploitation Task Force, and the Davie Police Department.
