Omaha Man Sentenced to 150 Months for Transportation of Child Pornography

United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Miguel Angel Rodriguez Ramirez, 40, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on September 3, 2025, in federal court in Omaha for transportation of child pornography. United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Rodriguez Ramirez to 150 months' imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Rodriguez Ramirez's release from prison, he will begin a five-year term of supervised release.

On May 1, 2024, Google LLC made a report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) indicating a Google user uploaded 13 videos depicting child pornography. The IP address associated with the CyberTip resolved to an Omaha residence where Rodriguez Ramirez resided. A Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained a search warrant for Rodriguez Ramirez's Google account and, in reviewing the Google account's contents, confirmed Rodriguez Ramirez uploaded the videos referenced in the CyberTip to his Google Drive in March 2024. On August 8, 2024, the FBI executed a residential search warrant at Rodriguez Ramirez's Omaha residence. Agents seized his iPhone and several electronic devices from within the residence. Rodriguez Ramirez informed agents he received the child pornography videos from a link someone sent him via Telegram and then uploaded the images to his Google Drive.

Agents forensically extracted and analyzed Rodriguez Ramirez's electronic devices. The content of Rodriguez Ramirez's Google account and his device extractions revealed he possessed at least 270 child pornography image files and 13 child pornography video files. The files included pornographic images and videos depicting prepubescent children, including an infant, and contained masochistic conduct.
