CEDAR RAPIDS – A Honduran national prowling around Iowa was sentenced to 42 years in federal prison for sexual exploitation and possession of child pornography.
According to public court documents, Martin Edgardo Menjivar, 59, a Honduran national allegedly of Iowa City, produced and possessed child sexual abuse material of children he had access to. An April 2025 forensic examination of Menjivar’s cell phones showed that he used the devices to view and possess images and videos containing child sexual abuse material. Menjivar has a pending charge for Sexual Abuse, Second Degree, in the Iowa District Court for Johnson County. He was sentenced on March 26, 2026, to 42 years in federal prison for sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography.
After completing his term of imprisonment, Menjivar (pictured at top) will be required to serve a 10-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
United States Attorney David C. Waterman of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement. The Iowa City Police Department and United States Marshals Service investigated 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.

And the Epstein criminals keep on walking around with no jail time. Thanks trump.
Thank Biden, he did nothing for 4 years
In case you haven’t heard, Biden isn’t in charge now. And his name wasn’t in the Epstein files but Donny’s is there often.
Yep. Right along with slick willy
Gates and all the other hair sniffing dems like Joe
At least you admit they didn’t do anything for 4 years, thanks Joe
Of course they didn’t because there were cases that were still open. You know that but you keep going back to the same old shit. You also know that the vast majority of people (except the trump cult) don’t care who was in there and want them all charged including Clinton and the others. Why don’t you?
