Nine years in prison.

In July 2025, Joshua Willey believed he was meeting a 12-year-old girl for s*x. Instead, he was met by undercover Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office deputies and taken into custody.

What our detectives uncovered next made the case even more disturbing. A search of Willey’s phone revealed he had been distributing photos and videos depicting the s*xual abuse of children.

This case was led by BCSO Detective Lucero, whose thorough investigation, attention to detail, and work from the initial operation through the prosecution helped ensure Willey was held accountable.

Willey ultimately pleaded guilty to two counts of Distribution of Visual Medium of Sexual Exploitation of Children and one count of Possession of Visual Medium of Sexual Exploitation. Today, he was sentenced to nine years in the New Mexico Corrections Department.

These investigations are difficult, meticulous and often incredibly disturbing for the detectives who work them. But behind every file and every piece of evidence is a child who deserves someone willing to do that work.

We are extremely proud of Detective Lucero and the BCSO detectives who work every day to identify predators, protect children and build cases that hold offenders accountable. We are also grateful to the prosecutors and team at the District Attorney's Office.

Great police work does not end with an arrest. It builds a case that stands up in court.
