Georgia Man Pleads Guilty for ‘Naked Snap’ Sextortion Plot

VALDOSTA, GA – A 24-year-old Berrien County man faces decades in federal prison after admitting to a predatory “sextortion” scheme where he threatened to leak a teenager’s private photos unless she sent more. Cenobio Olguin, Jr., of Lenox, pleaded guilty on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, to one count of attempted production of child pornography.

The plea, entered before Senior U.S. District Judge Louis Sands, carries a mandatory minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in prison. Under federal law, there is no possibility of parole.

The Investigation: From Snapchat to a Federal Raid

The case began in late 2024 when the FBI’s Dayton, Ohio, Resident Agency received a tip that a 16-year-old girl was being extorted. The subsequent investigation by the FBI Valdosta Resident Agency and the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office revealed a harrowing digital assault:

Initial Contact: Olguin met the victim on Snapchat in 2024. After she shared photos and subsequently blocked him, he waited months before re-emerging to threaten her.
The Threats: Olguin sent the victim her previously shared photos and threatened to send them to her high school friends or post them as a public Snapchat story.
Psychological Warfare: To further terrorize the girl, Olguin claimed he had previously extorted another victim and “ordered” boys at that girl’s school to assault her.
The Raid: On May 5, 2025, federal agents raided Olguin’s home in Lenox, Georgia. They discovered 91 images and 29 videos of child pornography on his phone, along with the saved Snap messages used to blackmail the victim.

Official Warnings on “Sextortion”

Federal authorities highlighted the case as a warning to parents and teens about the dangers of ephemeral messaging apps like Snapchat, where predators often feel hidden.

“This defendant used fear, manipulation, and threats to sexually exploit a minor, causing real and lasting harm,” said Peter Ellis, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Early reporting can stop abuse and protect victims.”

U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes echoed the sentiment, stating that his office would seek the “toughest penalties” for those who exploit children through social media.

Sentencing and Penalties

While a formal sentencing date has not yet been set, Olguin faces a rigorous post-release life. In addition to his prison term, he faces:

Lifetime Supervised Release: Strict monitoring by federal agents for the rest of his life.
$250,000 Fine: The maximum financial penalty allowed under the statute.
Sex Offender Registration: Mandatory lifelong registration.
