Jay Gillilland, a former U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, has been sentenced to 6,242 years in jail for sexually exploiting his young daughter over the course of two years.
Gillilland was arrested on drug charges in 2004 when police officers discovered child pornography on his home computer while executing a search warrant. During a subsequent search of a storage locker Gillilland had rented in Nogales, Arizona, officers discovered more than two hours of videotape depicting him sexually abusing his daughter, who was between six and eight years old at the time.
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were brought in to consult on the case by the Office of the Inspector General because of their expertise in child pornography. Nogales agents coordinated with the Santa Cruz County Criminal Investigative Division to set up the computer forensic examination, retrieved evidence of molestation and certified the videos through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
In March, a jury found Gillilland guilty of 317 counts of molestation of a child, sexual conduct with a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor and child abuse. Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge James Soto sentenced Gillilland to 174 consecutive sentences of 35 years to life on the sexual conduct charges.
“I am glad that my agents were able to help make sure this monster will be imprisoned for the rest of his life,” said Special Agent in Charge Alonzo Peña, head of the ICE Office of Investigation in Arizona. “Nothing makes me prouder than protecting children from these predators.”
CBP Ping!
OUCH!
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time...
His troubles are just starting, one fine day he has to die, and explain his actions.
Git a rope.
Overkill is good!
I firmly believe that there is a special place in Hell reserved for those who harm children.
With good behavior, he’ll be free again in about 5,000 years.
But now that poor girl is going to have to live her life without a father. Have some compassion.
Just kidding.

“I firmly believe that there is a special place in Hell reserved for those who harm children”.

Oh his prison mates are gonna love him when he gets there. I understand that cons don’t kindly to child molestors plus the face that he was in law enforcement. Yep, they’re gonna love him to death.
“Nothing makes me prouder than protecting children from these predators.”
That’s nice. Except this girl was not protected from this predator.

Should she have?
I mean at least she’s still here and he’s gone from her life now. Better late than never.
