Cory Jones

A man is facing 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to two child sex-related crimes. 

The Washoe County District Attorney's Office says Cory Jones will be eligible for parole after serving ten years.

He pleaded guilty to Attempted Lewdness with a Child Under 14 and Conspiracy to Commit Sexual Assault Against a Child Under 14.

Authorities say he had reached out, unsolicited, to a decoy profile of a “father” that was interested in taboo sexual preferences. They say he then messaged back and forth with an undercover (UC) detective regarding a possible sexual meetup.

Prosecutors say the officer asked Jones if he would be interested in having his (fictitious) nine-year-old daughter and three-year-old son join in, to which Jones said yes - and during a recorded conversation, Jones again confirmed the desire to have sex with the children.

He was subsequently arrested by detectives.
