A Peoria man, Reynaldo Granado, was sentenced last week to 14 years in prison for Sexual Exploitation of a Minor after using a messaging application to obtain images and video of child pornography.
On June 14, 2018, Granado entered a plea agreement to one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and one count of Attempted Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.
In February of 2017, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) identified an individual using the username “SluttyIvy” to obtain child pornography on a messaging application. The account was linked to Reynaldo Granado of Peoria, Arizona. In April of 2017, a search warrant was served at Granado’s residence and a tablet was found in Granado’s room that contained child pornography. Granado told HSI agents that he used the name “SluttyIvy” and role-played as a female having sexual contact with children in order to obtain images of child pornography from other users of the messaging application.
After Granado is released from prison, he will be placed on lifetime probation.
