A 13th District Judicial Court judge sentenced Anthony Maestas to 30.5 years in prison, the maximum sentence possible under his plea agreement, for child abuse and possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Maestas plead guilty to two counts of child abuse, manufacturing visual medium of sexual exploitation of children, possession of visual medium of sexual exploitation (child under 13) and voyeurism (victim under 18) in January.
“Protecting children from exploitation is one of the most important responsibilities we have in this state,” said Attorney General Raúl Torrez. “Thanks to the expertise and persistence of our team, another dangerous predator has been removed from our community. These cases are a reminder of how critical this work is, and I’m grateful to the Court and our prosecutors and investigators for ensuring this individual is now behind bars.”
The NMDOJ’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit received a cybertip that led to an IP address and physical address connected to Maestas. The unit executed a search warrant and subsequently arrested the defendant after agents discovered a significant amount of CSAM on his electronic devices. The unit’s investigation not only revealed that the defendant was in possession of CSAM, but also that he had sexually abused at least two children – a family member and a neighbor – as a juvenile.
After serving his sentence the defendant will be required to complete a parole term of 5-20 years.
The investigation was brought as a part of the NMDOJ’s ICAC Division, whose mission is to locate, track, and capture internet child sexual predators and internet child pornographers in New Mexico. There are 86 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies associated with the New Mexico ICAC Division, which is funded by a grant administered by the NMDOJ. Anyone with information relating to suspected child predators and suspected child abuse is encouraged to contact federal or local law enforcement.

I'm calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to change the official designation of the Lincoln from National Forest, to National Ashtray.
It's designation should be more in line with it's actual use.

After looking at New Mexico election law, a person may run as a candidate for office in the primary of the party they are registered with, without first seeking that party's approval.
this is just another echo of the fight to recognize the health risks of exposure to agent orange in the decades after the vietnam war.
Laymans translation, Mr. Sharp is having some problems proving his clients contracted cancer from PFAS.
Notice he's not crying about coverage for known cancer causing agents, but PRESUMED cancer causing agents. That's because to date, there is no known PROOF of any adverse health effects from PFAS.
there's neighbor john, right on schedule. he has already declared his willingness for other folks to be exposed to well established risks in environmental situations - just as long as he can't see them from where he lives.
So, Miyagishima is going after Republican and Independent voters instead of the Democrat base in a blue state who's election laws are heavily biased towards Democrats. Tells you something about the state of the Democrat Party.
