LV man gets eight-year sentence for child porn

A Las Vegas man who enticed an autistic girl to send him sexually explicit photographs was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in federal prison.

Fredy Hernandez-gomez previously pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography after admitting to playing “truth or dare” with the 13-yearold girl to persuade her to send the photographs, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office in Las Vegas.

“The defendant in this case exploited a vulnerable victim with special needs,” U.S. Attorney Nicholas Trutanich said in the statement.

Hernandez-gomez, 32, admitted that he began exchanging text messages with the girl in early 2017.

Hernandez-gomez pleaded guilty in Clark County District Court to one count of attempted sexual assault with a minor and was sentenced last month to between eight and 20 years in state prison.

The shooting happened about 5:45 p.m. Feb. 6 at the Mosaic Apartments, 6355 S. Riley St., near South Durango Drive. Police believe the shooting happened after Pacada and another man got into an argument with a third man, Spencer said.

Police believe the shooter was blocking the driveway into the complex or was backing up, Spencer said at a media briefing. The driver then shot Pacada and the other man, Spencer said. The other man was shot in the arm and was in stable condition after the shooting, Spencer said.

The shooter fled the scene and has not yet been arrested.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Metro’s homicide section at 702-828-3521, or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
