CARRILLO-BECERRA SENTENCED IN CHILD EXPLOITATION CASE

On December 8, 2025, Ricardo Carrillo-Becerra, 38, of Fort Payne, entered a blind guilty plea to Traveling to Meet a Child for an Unlawful S*x Act. A blind plea means there was no agreement with the District Attorney’s Office regarding sentencing. The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Jennifer Bray. Because this offense is a Class A felony, Carrillo-Becerra faced a sentencing range of 10 years to 99 years or life in prison.

This morning, Circuit Judge Matt Elliott sentenced Carrillo-Becerra to 20 years, split to serve four years in the Alabama Department of Corrections, followed by probation.

Carrillo-Becerra’s conviction stems from a proactive sting operation conducted by the Albertville Police Department in partnership with the Covenant Rescue Group, the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, and the Marshall County Drug Unit. During the operation, Carrillo-Becerra communicated with an individual he believed to be a 15-year-old girl and agreed to meet her for s*xual acts in exchange for money. He made a full confession at the time of his arrest.

District Attorney Bray emphasized that cases involving the exploitation of children remain a top priority and praised the coordinated efforts of the Albertville-AL Police Department, Covenant Rescue Group, the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, and the Marshall County Drug Unit in this operation.

They showed up expecting a minor.
They left in handcuffs.

We recently partnered with the Cullman Police Department and the Cullman County District Attorney’s Office in an operation in Cullman, Alabama.

Five suspects were arrested and now face multiple felony charges, including human trafficking.

Predators depend on secrecy.
They depend on access.
They depend on no one fighting back.

THEY WERE WRONG.

Thanks to the Cullman PD and Cullman DA Champ Crocker for being proactive in protecting their communities from predators.
