A federal jury convicted Alekzander Bywater, 32, of Colorado Springs, CO, of conspiring with his wife to sexually abuse a prepubescent child in Mexico and advertising the videos for sale online. The charges include conspiracy to sexually exploit a minor abroad, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and two counts of advertising child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement discovered the videos during an undercover FBI investigation, with agents purchasing them in Maryland. Bywater faces a potential 150-year prison sentence. His wife, Anika Bywater, previously received a 25-year sentence in March 2026. The case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a DOJ initiative to combat child sexual exploitation. The FBI’s Child Exploitation Operational Unit investigated with assistance from Mexican authorities.
