Child Predator Sentenced to 120 Months in Prison

Press Release

Defendant's third conviction for child pornography

Salt Lake City, Utah - Jordan Alan Neves Brewer, 37, of Ogden, Utah, was sentenced today to 10 years' imprisonment, a lifetime of supervised release, and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution after he admitted to possessing child pornography in 2023.

The sentence was imposed by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups after Brewer admitted in February 2024 that he possessed child pornography while on supervised release for a prior 2012 federal conviction of the same conduct. Brewer also has a state conviction for possession of child pornography. He was released from his state sentence in 2019 and completed sex offender treatment in 2021.

According to court documents and statements made at the change of plea hearing, on March 30, 2023, a United States Probation Officer conducted a home inspection at Brewer's residence and found unapproved electronic devices. A forensic search of Brewer's laptop revealed child pornography involving prepubescent children.

The case was investigated jointly by the United States Probation Office and the FBI Salt Lake City Field Office.

Assistant United States Attorney Carol A. Dain of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah prosecuted the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
