Guatemalan national charged with transportation, distribution and possession of child pornography following joint HSI and Oklahoma Police Department investigation

OKLAHOMA CITY — A federal complaint was recently unsealed charging Gustavo Gordillo, 41, a citizen of Guatemala, with transportation, distribution, and possession of child pornography, announced Special Agent in Charge Travis Pickard, who oversees Homeland Security operations In North Texas and Oklahoma and U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester of the Western District Oklahoma.

According to an affidavit filed in support of a criminal complaint, in July 2020, investigators with the Oklahoma City Police Department received a cyber tip after files containing child sexual abuse material were uploaded to a Google Photos account.

The affidavit alleges the suspect who uploaded the photos, later determined as Gordillo, lived in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City police detectives investigated the tip, and others from Facebook, determining that Gordillo was communicating with a child living out of state. The affidavit further alleges Gordillo provided inappropriate materials to the minor and received inappropriate materials from the child.

In December 2024, additional investigations led law enforcement to a residence in the Oklahoma City area connected with Gordillo. Gordillo was charged by complaint on Jan. 27 and arrested by Homeland Security Investigations' (HSI) Oklahoma field office and the Oklahoma City Police Department Jan. 29. U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement's Oklahoma field office assisted in the apprehension.

Public records show Gordillo entered the United States on a temporary visa that had expired.

Gordillo faces up to sixty years in federal prison if found guilty of the charges.

This case is the result of an investigation by HSI and the Oklahoma City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany Edgmon is prosecuting the case.
