A Phoenix man, Jeremy Blueeyes, was sentenced on Apr. 8 to 108 months in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a minor under the age of 12.
The sentencing underscores the seriousness with which federal authorities address cases involving child sexual exploitation and abuse. There is no parole in the federal system, meaning Blueeyes will serve his full sentence.
According to court records, Blueeyes, who is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and is 26 years old, engaged in sexual contact with a minor in 2019. After his release from prison, he will be required to undergo ten years of supervised release and register as a sex offender.
Acting U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison and Justin A. Garris, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office, announced the sentencing. The case was investigated by the Farmington Resident Agency of the FBI Albuquerque Field Office with help from the Navajo Police Department and Navajo Nation Department of Criminal Investigations.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Marshall prosecuted this case as part of Project Safe Childhood—a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 aimed at combating child sexual exploitation and abuse through collaboration between federal, state, and local agencies.
