A Mexican national living in Orange County was sentenced Tuesday to 23 years in federal prison for plying a 13-year-old girl with alcohol and sexually assaulting her in an attack he documented with photos and videos.

U.S. District Judge David O. Carter also ordered Jonathan Gonzalez-Reyes, 39, of Anaheim, to pay $3,000 in restitution to the victim, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Gonzalez-Reyes, who prosecutors said was in the country illegally, was convicted April 30 by a federal jury in Santa Ana of one count of production of child pornography, two counts of distribution of child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography.

According to prosecutors, Gonzalez-Reyes and co-defendant Nanci Jasmin Castillo, 32, of Anaheim, befriended the victim in February 2021.
