A 24-year-old Peoria man is facing a 35-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to soliciting sex and pornographic images online from women and young girls. The U.S. attorney's office in Springfield says Jordan D. Salem pleaded guilty this week to production of child pornography while registered as a sex offender.
Prosecutors say he created a false identity on a social media site as someone linked to a pornography film company. They say he got least 22 females, seven of whom were minors, to engage in sexual intercourse with him by promising money he never paid.
A plea agreement stipulates the more than three-decade prison term. A judge must still approve that sentence at a Sept. 22 hearing.
