Bail refused for man accused of soliciting, posting naked images of children
Twenty-eight-year-old Joshua Rambarran, who is accused of soliciting and posting naked images of children in a telegram group, has been slapped with eight charges and remanded to prison.
Appearing before Michelle Mathias in the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court, Rambarran of St Ann Street, New Amsterdam, was charged with six counts of using a computer system to obtain and transmit child pornography.
He also answered charges of two counts of alleged child pornography and using a computer system to coerce, harass, intimidate, and humiliate a person.
The prosecutor’s objections to bail were upheld, and the defendant was remanded to prison. He will make another court appearance on May 20, 2024.
The 28-year-old man was arrested following an investigation, which found that he allegedly groomed and convinced the children to send explicit pictures and videos to a Snapchat account. The pictures and videos were later posted to a telegram group.
