Anildar Valdimir Roblero-Gomez, Child Pornography, New York 2018

Syracuse, NY - A gruesome crime has shaken the community in Ellisburg, New York, as a resident has been charged with the despicable act of child pornography.

Anildar Valdimir Roblero-Gomez, age 25, a citizen of Mexico, has been living in Ellisburg, New York, when he was arrested and charged in United States District Court with transportation and possession of child pornography.

The charges against Roblero-Gomez stem from an investigation by the New York State Police and the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, which alleges that in September 2018, he transported child pornography by uploading several images and videos depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct to Facebook.

Roblero-Gomez was also found to possess a number of graphic images and videos constituting child pornography on two cellular telephones in his possession at the time of his arrest.

The defendant made his initial appearance in federal court today before United States Magistrate Judge Thérèse Wiley Dancks, who ordered that he be detained pending resolution of the charges. Roblero-Gomez is also being held on an immigration detainer as he is unlawfully present in the United States.

If convicted, Roblero-Gomez faces a mandatory minimum term of 5 years and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000.00 and a term of supervised release of at least 5 years and up to life, as well as mandatory registration as a sex offender.

This case is being prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.
