Paterson man arrested for allegedly distributing child pornography on social media

Devin-Ramos-Artigas

A man has been arrested for allegedly distributing files of child sexual abuse on social media, according to Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik.

Devin L. Ramos-Artigas, 26-year-old, of Paterson, has been charged with distribution of child pornography, maintaining child pornography, and possession of child pornography. He was arrested on Thursday, authorities said.

Ramos-Artigas exchanged several direct messages with another person on social media. Both parties exchanged videos of child sexual abuse, authorities said. Authorities seized devices from his residence as part of the investigation.

This is not the first time Ramos-Artigas was caught with child pornography. On January 2017, Ramos-Artigas was convicted for possession of child pornography. He was placed on parole supervision for life. He violated conditions of his parole and was later sentenced to one year in prison.

Ramos-Artigas was released from prison in January 2020.

Ramos-Artigas is being held at the Passaic County Jail, authorities said.

    “arrested for allegedly distributing files of child sexual abuse on social media“?! Something’s up. Who was receiving these files? Who are they, and where are their charges? Going around ruining lives with NO evidence.

      Most of the time the person at the other end is a Agent. I would tell you though that I’ll rather go to jail for murder and not for that.

    the questing should be, why wasn't this pos locked up the first time he did this? instead he's put on probation, breaks the law again, goes to jail,and here he is doing it again.Jail does not deter, and there is no cure for these scum.Mandatory castration should be part of their sentence.

      The state Tends to go soft on these guys the first time around. That’s why the feds most of the time show up in court and the minute the judge cuts them another break, they cuff them right away and make it federal to insure they do at least 10 minimum.

    They will put him in jail for.years and he would come out probably the same if not worse.and most likely converted to Muslim.

      You make it sound like it would be bad for him to come back as a muslim….if anything it would be better for him because then he would have some dignity.
