Alejandro Carmona, 47, is charged with using and attempting to use a minor to produce sexually explicit images.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An attorney for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Officer facing multiple felonies related to the alleged act of sexually soliciting a child online asked for a 30-day continuance Monday in Jacksonville’s Middle District Court. 

Alejandro Carmona, 47, is charged with using and attempting to use a minor to produce sexually explicit images.

Defense attorney Steve Rockwell asked for the continuance to review a potential plea agreement. Carmona’s next status hearing will be Dec. 19 at 4 p.m.

The judge is still anticipating a Jan. 3 trial date.

United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced the return of an indictment against Carmona, charging him with one count of using a minor child to produce sexually explicit images, two counts of attempting to use a minor child to produce sexually explicit images, and one count of attempted online enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity.

For each of the first three counts, he faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years and up to a maximum of 30 years in federal prison. For the fourth count, he faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years and up to a maximum of life in federal prison. 

In addition, he faces up to a $1 million fine and a potential life term of supervised release.
