Jordan T. Quinones, 30, of Pensacola, Florida, was sentenced to ten years in federal prison for one count of possession of obscene materials involving minors, according to a July 24 announcement by John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

Heekin said, “Thanks to the vigilance of our state law enforcement partners in closely monitoring this sex offender, his continued criminal deviance was uncovered and now he will spend the next decade behind bars. 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 revealed that routine checks by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Quinones as a registered sex offender in late 2025 led officers to discover suspicious materials. An interview with Quinones resulted in a search warrant for his cellular telephone. Law enforcement found images depicting obscene visual representations of child sexual abuse maintained in an online Google Photos account. The images were cartoon or computer-generated files showing sexual abuse, sadomasochistic abuse, and bestiality involving minors. After his imprisonment term is completed, Quinones will serve three years of supervised release.

The case was jointly investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg.

This prosecution was part of Project Safe Childhood—a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice aimed at combating child sexual exploitation and abuse through coordinated efforts among federal, state, and local agencies.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida enforces federal laws; defends national security; protects civil rights; secures public funds; covers 23 counties including Tallahassee and the Panhandle; operates from facilities in Tallahassee, Pensacola and Gainesville courthouses; advances community safety through collaboration with law enforcement initiatives such as Project Safe Childhood; and serves under direction from the Attorney General as part of the United States Department of Justice, according to its official website.
