An Arizona man was sentenced to 248 months in prison for child exploitation offenses last week.
Jeremy Espuma, 31, of Sells, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation, pleaded guilty to Child Exploitation by way of Production of Child Pornography on March 22, 2023.
Upon release from prison, Espuma will be placed on lifetime supervised release with sex offender conditions and will be required to register as a sex offender.
The case against Espuma arose after undercover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered that he was sharing child exploitation material online.

A subsequent investigation led to the identification of a child victim that Espuma had sexually abused.
Espuma had also distributed images of the child and offered access to the child in exchange for money in the online forum where he was found by law enforcement.
The investigation also led to the identification of another individual with whom Espuma shared the images. That offender, Kyle Adam Haney, was sentenced to 120 months in prison on August 31, 2023.
