(Peoria, IL) A Secret Service child pornography investigation concluded with a lengthy prison
sentence imposed against a Peoria, IL, man.
Jordan D. Salem, was sentenced May 5, 2017, for producing child pornography while registered
as a sex offender. Salem was sentenced to 35 years imprisonment which is to be followed by 15
years of supervised probation upon his release.
Sexual exploitation of children is an alarming problem, said Bill Shink, Resident Agent in
Charge of the Secret Service Springfield Resident Office. This case demonstrates the
effectiveness of multijurisdictional partnerships and the commitment of the Secret Service to
identify and prosecute those who sexually prey upon children.
The Secret Service Springfield Resident Office maintains a multi-agency, electronic crimes
working group, which enhances the effectiveness of partnering with local departments like the
Peoria Police Department and the Peoria County Sheriffs Department, both instrumental to
this investigation.
Search warrants executed on Salems Facebook accounts and e-mail accounts, revealed Salem
preyed upon 28 females including 10 minors and coerced some to produce sexually explicit
photographs and engage in sexual acts. The youngest victim was 11 years old.
Salem pled guilty in U.S. District Court on June 28, 2016.
