Miguel Angel Rodriguez Ramirez, a 40-year-old resident of Omaha, Nebraska, has been sentenced to 150 months in federal prison for the transportation of child pornography. The sentencing took place on September 3, 2025, in federal court in Omaha. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher handed down the sentence. Following his release from prison, Rodriguez Ramirez will be subject to five years of supervised release. Federal prisoners are not eligible for parole.
The case began when Google LLC reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that a user had uploaded 13 videos containing child pornography. The IP address linked to this activity was traced to Rodriguez Ramirez’s residence in Omaha. An FBI Special Agent obtained a search warrant for his Google account and confirmed that he had uploaded the videos in March 2024.
On August 8, 2024, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Rodriguez Ramirez’s home and seized several electronic devices, including his iPhone. During questioning, Rodriguez Ramirez told agents he received the videos through a link sent via Telegram and subsequently uploaded them to his Google Drive.
A forensic analysis of the seized devices revealed that Rodriguez Ramirez possessed at least 270 image files and 13 video files depicting child pornography. These files included material involving prepubescent children and an infant, with some content involving masochistic conduct.
"This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

The investigation was conducted by the Omaha FBI's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
