WORCESTER – A 34-year-old New Jersey man was charged last week in federal court in Worcester with attempting to sexually exploit an 11-year-old boy from Worcester.
Jordan Winczuk, 34, was indicted on one count of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of committing a felony offense involving a minor while being required to register as a sex offender.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Winczuk attempted to persuade an 11-year-old Worcester boy, whom he had met through social media days prior, to send him images of his genitals via Instagram.
As a result of a 2010 conviction for sexually assaulting a boy and endangering the welfare of a child through the distribution of child pornography, Winczuk is a level 3 sex offender.
Winczuk is currently in state custody in New Jersey on unrelated charges.
If convicted of the attempted sexual exploitation, Winczuk faces a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison, a minimum of five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. The charge of committing the offense while being required to register as a sex offender provides for a mandatory 10 year sentence, to be served consecutive to the sentence imposed on the sexual exploitation charge. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
