(Des Moines, IA) -- A illegal immigrant has been sentenced to up to 50 years in prison for possessing over 20 videos of child pornography.
According to the Polk County Sheriff, 44-year-old Felipe DeJesus Torres Villasenor was arrested in November 2024 after a social media platform alerted the Des Moines Police Department about videos found on his phone.
Villasenor said through an interpreter that he did not voluntarily download the videos, but did access the website.
He was found guilty of 20 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. In addition to 50 years in prison he will also be placed on the sex offender registry.
