The term follows Martinez-Cruz's conviction on multiple counts of child molestation and incest, as well as child rape.

The case against Martinez-Cruz began in January, 2022 and was prosecuted by U.S. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Grant County Carlee Bittle.

The judge ordered Martinez-Cruz's term to be indeterminate, meaning he could eventually spend the rest of his life in prison. Should he ever be released from prison, Martinez-Cruz will spend the remainder of his life in community custody.
