Birmingham Man Pleads Guilty To Sex Crime Charges

BIRMINGHAM, AL — A Birmingham man pleaded guilty in federal court this week to sex trafficking and child pornography charges.

Jeremy Lynn Alexander, 36, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Karon O. Bowdre to one count of sex trafficking of a minor and one count of production of child pornography.

According to the plea agreement, on or about July 16, 2021, FBI Birmingham’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force received a priority lead regarding a 14-year-old female reported missing out of Madison, Wisc.

FBI Birmingham and Homewood Police Special Investigations Unit launched an immediate investigation to find and recover the child. They located her through an advertisement on a website known for commercial sex advertisements.

A task force officer responded to the number posted in the advertisement, the minor victim replied, and provided the address to meet. Members of the task force responded to a local hotel and located the juvenile victim in the hotel room with Alexander. Further investigation revealed child pornography involving Alexander and the juvenile victim located on Alexander’s cell phone.
