On at least two occasions, prosecutors said Chavez-Heras traveled more than two hours to sexually assault the minor. When agents searched Chavez-Heras’s electronic devices, they discovered he had engaged in this behavior with a number of other minor victims. Charges in other jurisdictions will be pursued separately.

Chavez-Heras was also sentenced to five years of supervised release and will be required to register as a sex offender after his release from prison, as well as pay restitution to the minor victim.

The Department of Homeland Security and the Pontotoc Police Department investigated the case.
