A Jamaica man has been charged with possessing numerous photos and videos of boys—as young as 9—depicted in a sexual manner or performing sexual acts on other underage individuals, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown announced on Thursday.
Mohamed Pasha, 56, was arraigned on Thursday on a criminal complaint charging him with promoting a sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child. Bail was set at $2,500 cash or bond. At press time, Pasha had not posted bail. He has been ordered to return to court on Feb. 7.
According to the complaint, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a report from Google that on March 26, 2018, Pasha had used his Google account, mohamedpasha8@gmail.com, to allegedly upload 17 different images and videos depicting boys between 9 and 11 engaging in sexual acts with other young boys.
According to the charges, law enforcement officials subpoenaed the IP address with the uploaded files and this led to Pasha’s Ferndale Avenue residence. On Nov. 21, detectives visited Pasha’s home, where he allegedly admitted to owning the account. Detectives also obtained permission from Pasha to perform a forensic examination of his cell phone. That forensic exam of the phone allegedly recovered 26 additional photos of underage boys with their genitals exposed and engaging in lewd behavior or sexual acts.
Brown said that Pasha’s “alleged activities will not be tolerated in Queens County. The children in these images must live with the abuse they endured for the rest of their lives. The defendant now faces prison time for his actions.”
The investigation is ongoing. If you have any information about Pasha’s Google account or the email address mohamedpasha8@gmail.com, you are asked to call the NYPD Computer Crime Squad at (646) 610-5397.
If convicted, Pasha faces up to seven years in prison.
