 [December 22, 2018]
Illinois State Police (ISP) Investigations with assistance from the
Lincoln Police Department have arrested Javier J. Joiner, 24, of
Arlington Texas, for the offense of traveling across state lines to
meet a minor, and production of child pornography.
Beginning in September 2018, after meeting on a social media site,
Javier
J. Joiner picked up a 15 year old juvenile female in Texas. Joiner,
an over-the-road truck driver, allegedly engaged in a sexual
relationship with the juvenile female until December 2018.
Joiner and the juvenile female traveled through numerous states
without Joiner having authorization to transport the juvenile across
state lines. Joiner allegedly photographed and video recorded sexual
acts between himself and the juvenile female, and distributed the
images via an electronic communication device.
On December 6, 2018, Joiner allegedly physically assaulted and left
the juvenile female on Interstate 55 near Lincoln, Illinois, after
the juvenile female tried to end the relationship.

On December 21, 2018, agents from the ISP Zone 4 Investigations
Violent
Crimes Unit in Springfield, and Lincoln Police Department, located
Joiner
traveling southbound on Interstate 55 near Lincoln. Joiner was

hearing.
