Tyler Ramaley, Child Sex Abuse Material Distribution, Delaware 2025

Wilmington Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison for Distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material

A Delaware man was sentenced yesterday to 121 months in prison for distributing child sexual abuse material, or CSAM. Tyler Ramaley, 32, of Wilmington, will serve the sentence imposed by U.S. District Judge Gregory B. Williams.

According to court documents, Ramaley joined other men on Zoom video chat rooms for the purpose of watching, discussing, and masturbating to videos depicting graphic sexual violence toward minors, including infants less than one year old. During the calls, Ramaley even streamed his personal CSAM collection for others. Following Ramaley’s arrest, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) seized and searched Ramaley’s devices pursuant to a federal search warrant, where they discovered additional CSAM and conversations with others regarding the exploitation of children.

U.S. Attorney Benjamin L. Wallace stated, ‘Every time Tyler Ramaley watched a video of a child being sexually abused—and every time he helped another person do so—he was victimizing that child all over again. My Office will never stop pursuing those who hurt children, even if we need to chase those offenders through the darkest corners of the internet. I thank our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, whose excellent investigative work led to the arrest and conviction of this dangerous offender.’

The FBI’s Delaware Violent Crime and Safe Streets Task Force investigated this case, with the assistance of the New Castle County Police Department, Delaware State Police, and the Chester County District Attorney’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Claudia L. Pare prosecuted the case.

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. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.

Ramaley will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison. The FBI’s Delaware Violent Crime and Safe Streets Task Force will continue to pursue individuals who commit such crimes. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our children from exploitation and abuse.
