At the U.S. District Court in Worcester on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Hillman sentenced Jordan Winczuk, 36, of Bellmawr, N.J. to 45 years in prison and five years of supervised release.

On Oct. 27, 2021, Winczuk pleaded guilty to one count of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of commission of a felony offense involving the sexual exploitation of minor as a registered sex offender.

Winczuk who was already a level 3 sex offender, in January 2018 used a social media platform to contact a boy in Worcester. Winczuk attempted to get the victim, who had disclosed that he was only 11 years old, to photograph his genitals and send those pictures to him via Instagram.

In February 2018, a search of Winczuk’s New Jersey residence recovered cell phones that contained child pornography and included multiple conversations in which he requested sexually explicit images from other apparent minors.

At the time, Winczuk was on parole following a state conviction in New Jersey for sexually assaulting a boy and endangering the welfare of a child through the distribution of child pornography.
