Jose Saez, Jr. was the pastor at Iglesia Cristiana Alumbrando el Camino in Brentwood, New York, where he allegedly bragged about finding his victims. He is also the father of three children. The FBI received an online tip that he was sexually active with children. They investigated and executed a search warrant.
After a brief look at his cell phone, they arrested him for producing child sexual abuse material. Remember, the videos and pictures cannot be produced without abusing and exploiting children. The incidents that were brought to FBI attention allegedly happened between August 14th and his September 28, 2023 arrest. However, he is alleged to have produced child sexual abuse material with more than thirty children often by coercing them into producing videos and sending them to him.
He bragged about his crimes to an undercover officer. The charges against him include sexual exploitation of children, coercion and enticement of children, distribution of child pornography, and possession of child pornography.
