Key West man nabbed on child porn charges. Feds say dozens of graphic images found
Federal agents have arrested a Key West man who they say had dozens of child pornography images and videos on his cell phone.
The material on the device was extremely graphic, showing horrific scenes of men raping girls who appeared to be less than 8 years old, and children around the same age being restrained in bondage gear, according to the Homeland Security Investigations complaint filed Friday in U.S. Southern District Court.
The iPhone was confiscated during a raid on 24-year-old Joel Ramirez Campos’ home at 1220 2nd Street in Key West last month, according to the complaint. Agents were acting on a tip they received that Campos was uploading child pornography from that residence.
While executing the search warrant, agents and other law enforcement officers found the iPhone in a case that also contained Campos’ driver’s license, which was sitting on a table next to his bed, according to the complaint.
A forensic extraction of the phone turned up about 100 videos and images containing “child sexual abuse material,” agents wrote in the complaint. One of the videos showing the abuse was more than 38 minutes long, according to the complaint.
Campos faces child pornography possession charges. On Monday, he invoked his right to remain silent through his federal public defender, who did not immediately respond to a Miami Herald’s request for comment.
