Juelz Sincere Armstead, 21, from San Angelo, managed to rack up a rap sheet so disgusting that a Lubbock jury decided the only appropriate sentence was basically “forever plus forever.” After years of sextorting nine minors and one adult online—threatening to ruin their lives if they didn’t send him explicit material—Armstead was convicted on 14 federal charges, including production of child porn and cyberstalking.
The horror show didn’t stop there. Even after his first arrest in 2022, the guy got out, grabbed another phone, and picked right back up extorting kids like it was his side hustle. By the time he was re-arrested in 2024, the damage was staggering—victims across the country, testimony of suicidal thoughts, and trauma that no sentence can really erase.
The jury responded with a 245-year prison term. The judge didn’t hold back either, calling Armstead “an incredible danger” who spent years “terrorizing and bullying these victims relentlessly.” Translation: you’ll never see daylight again, buddy.
In Lubbock, you can get away with a lot of nonsense, but sextorting kids? That’ll earn you more years than Prairie Dog Town’s been standing. Guess some things really don’t mess around in Texas.
