There have been significant recent developments in other child exploitation cases being prosecuted by the United States Attorney\u2019s Office, including a life sentence imposed on an offender who filmed his sexual assaults on disabled children.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cProtecting our children from sexual exploitation is some of the most important work my office does,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada. \u201cFor years, we have vigorously prosecuted child sexual predators, and we have only increased those efforts recently. To those who would seek to victimize our youth, let me be clear: We will use every tool in our arsenal to bring you to justice and thereby stop you from causing further irreparable harm to others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThe various cases being announced today are a reminder of the constant threat of sexual extortion minors face, as well as the persistent demand for child pornography,\u201d said FBI Assistant Director Alway, who runs the FBI\u2019s Los Angeles Field Office. \u201cWhether an offender sexually abuses a child in person or online, or continues to exploit children by producing or sharing images of sexual abuse, the FBI and our partners will continue to seek justice for innocent victims by holding offenders accountable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHSI Los Angeles is committed to removing sexual predators from our streets and working aggressively to hold them accountable for their heinous actions,\u201d said HSI Acting Special Agent in Charge Wang.<\/span><\/p>\n

There have been developments recently in other child exploitation cases being prosecuted by the United States Attorney\u2019s Office. Those cases are:<\/span><\/p>\n

United States v. Dorame<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Francisco Anthony Dorame, 41, of Echo Park, was sentenced on March 8 to 20 years in federal prison for using an online messenger app last year to attempt to traffic two children sexually \u2013 ages 7 and 9 \u2013 and for distributing sexually explicit images of children. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dorame was also sentenced to a lifetime period of supervised release and ordered to pay $33,000 in restitution to 11 victims. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dorame\u00a0pleaded guilty<\/a>\u00a0in October 2022 to one count of attempted sex trafficking of a child under 14 years old and one count of distribution of child pornography.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During a conversation on the Kik platform, Dorame made two payments totaling $100 to a person who had access to the victims. <\/span><\/p>\n

Among other things, Dorame requested photographs of the victims, expressed his desire to \u201cplay with them right away\u201d upon meeting up, and set a specific date, time and location for the meeting. <\/span><\/p>\n

In April 2022, Dorame used Kik to distribute sexually explicit images of children between 4 and 6.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c[Dorame\u2019s] lifelong and dangerous obsession with girls has manifested in an extensive collection of child sex abuse material, several attempts to procure girls for sex acts, and inappropriate relationships with then-minors,\u201d prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum. \u201c[Dorame\u2019s] possession and dissemination of child sex abuse material are not victimless crimes, either. Here, the real victims portrayed in the child sex abuse material defendant possessed and distributed provide heartbreaking accounts of the harm they have suffered, and continue to suffer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathy Yu from the Violent and Organized Crime Section prosecuted this case.<\/span><\/p>\n
