Fransisco Gonzalez, also known as Kiko Gonzalez, 29, of Mineola, has been sentenced to 55 years (660 months) in federal prison for child exploitation violations in the Eastern District of Texas. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle on June 23, 2025, after Gonzalez pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
According to information presented in court, over several months, Gonzalez sexually exploited a minor female victim. He isolated her from her family under the pretense of taking her to church, then used her to produce sexually explicit images and videos. He later distributed several of these images to others.
“Fransisco Gonzalez is on his way to prison where he will serve a very long sentence,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs. “For his crimes, he deserves every day of that lengthy term. I commend the efforts of the team that brought this defendant to justice. The U.S. Attorney’s Office stands committed to seeking justice for victims and to defending the defenseless.”
