Brothers Sentenced for Child Exploitation

ALBUQUERQUE – Two brothers were sentenced for sexually abusing a minor, with one receiving 204 months in prison and the other 135 months.

There is no parole in the federal system.

According to court documents, between 2019 and 2022, Dustin Roy Rockmen, 33, of Navajo, New Mexico, and Kenzie Roy Rockmen, 26, of Hunters Point, Arizona, both enrolled members of the Navajo Nation, used electronic communications to coerce a minor and engage in sexual acts with the child.

Dustin and Kenzie both pled guilty to one count of coercion and enticement of a minor. Upon their release from prison, Dustin and Kenzie will be subject to 10 years of supervised release and must register as sex offenders.

Acting U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison and Acting Special Agent in Charge Philip Russell of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office made the announcement today.

The Gallup Resident Agency of the FBI Albuquerque Field Office investigated this case with assistance from the Navajo Police Department and Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations.
