LUIS A. ROSADO, New Britain Resident, Pleads Guilty to Child Exploitation Offense

Luis A. Rosado, a 30-year-old resident of New Britain, Connecticut, has admitted to distributing child pornography, according to a guilty plea entered in federal court last week.

Between April and June 2022, Rosado uploaded and distributed 104 video files depicting the sexual abuse of children, including prepubescent children, using two separate Kik Messenger accounts.

The investigation, led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Connecticut State Police, the Manchester Police Department, and the Connecticut Center for Digital Investigations, connected the Kik Messenger usernames to Rosado, who resided in Manchester at the time of the offense.

Rosado was arrested on October 6, 2022, and is currently out on a $100,000 bond pending sentencing.

At sentencing, Rosado faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.

This case is part of the U.S. government’s Project Safe Childhood Initiative, aimed at protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s (NCMEC) CyberTipline received two reports from Kik Messenger that two separate accounts had been used to upload video files depicting the sexual abuse of children.
