Belleville Man Receives Maximum Sentence of 30 Years for Production of Child Sexual Abuse Material

LITTLE ROCK-Victor Ramirez-Mora, 20, of Belleville, was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison for production of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), conduct which included producing CSAM images of multiple toddlers. Jonathan D. Ross, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, announced the sentence, which was handed down today by United States District Judge Brian S. Miller.

On December 3, 2024, Ramirez-Mora was indicted by a federal grand jury in an Indictment charging him with 13 counts of production of CSAM. On February 4, 2026, Ramirez-Mora pleaded guilty to one count of production of CSAM. In addition to the 30-year sentence, which is the maximum allowed by law, Judge Miller also ordered Ramirez-Mora to serve 10 years' supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

On May 29, 2024, a social media platform flagged a user for violating the terms of service because the user uploaded a video depicting CSAM. The social media platform reported the violation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and on August 26, 2024, special agents from Homeland Security Investigations received a Cybertip regarding a sexually explicit photograph of a minor child and an adult male. Through an investigation of the IP address and subscriber information, agents identified Ramirez-Mora as a suspect.

On September 26, 2024, officers went to Ramirez-Mora's residence and observed him arriving at the residence with a small child. After Ramirez-Mora handed over the child to its mother, officers advised Ramirez-Mora of his Miranda rights and he waived them. Ramirez-Mora was advised that law enforcement was at his residence due to CSAM being uploaded on a social media platform. Ramirez-Mora admitted that he had seen CSAM on his social media account and that the sexual acts depicted involved minors who were under the age of 14.

Ramirez-Mora was also questioned about any inappropriate activity with a minor child that was in his care and he admitted that he recorded the minor child nude while he was on the bed but did not send the video to anyone. Ramirez-Mora stated he has four videos of the minor child depicted in a sexually explicit manner. Officers seized Ramirez-Mora's phone and after obtaining a search warrant, observed multiple videos of Ramirez-Mora engaging in sexual contact with two toddler minors, both under the age of four.

The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from the Arkansas State Police and the Yell County Sheriff's Office. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kristin Bryant, U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

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 and led by the U.S. Attorney's Offices and the Criminal Divisions Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), it 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.
