Feds have busted two child predators in Puerto Rico, accused of preying on young boys for explicit images and videos.
Elid Jesuel Pizarro-Morales, 22, of Carolina, allegedly used a social app to groom and coerce four minors, aged 12 to 14, into making hardcore porn in 2025. He also stashed thousands of sick pics on his iPad, including images of prepubescent kids.
If convicted, Pizarro-Morales faces 30 years behind bars. In a separate case, Miguel Ángel Marquez-Rosario, 43, of San Juan, was arrested for transporting and possessing child exploitation material, including pics of kids under 12.
Marquez-Rosario faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years. Both men will be arraigned in federal court.
Prosecutors say the cases are a stark reminder of the horrors of child exploitation, which can have long-lasting effects on victims.
