U.S. District Judge Paul G. Byron has sentenced Raymond Andrew Lamadrid, 55, of Missouri, to 12 years in federal prison for the transportation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Lamadrid pleaded guilty to the charge on January 7, 2025.
According to court documents, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents discovered that Lamadrid was sending and receiving CSAM via Snapchat.
On September 16, 2024, Lamadrid arrived in Orlando by plane from the Dominican Republic. During an inspection of Lamadrid’s cell phone by U.S. Customs Border Protection at Orlando International Airport, officers discovered CSAM.
“This sentencing demonstrates the unwavering dedication and vigilance of HSI Orlando, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office in safeguarding our community,” said Homeland Security Investigation Orlando Assistant Special Agent in Charge David Pezzutti. “Catching this predator with child sexual abuse material serves as a crucial reminder that we remain steadfast in our fight against these heinous crimes. We will continue to work tirelessly to protect our children and bring offenders to justice.”
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, with assistance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie A. McNeff.
