THE Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has recommended cybercrime charges for a 28-year-old man who is accused of grooming and convincing children to send him explicit videos and photos.

A statement from Police Headquarters noted that Joshua Rambarran will be charged with five counts of “Distributing Child Pornography through a Computer System; Publishing Electronic Data that is obscene with intent to humiliate another person; Child luring and using a computer system to coerce, harass, intimidate, and humiliate a person.”

The Police Force launched an investigation following reports of offences of child luring and child pornography on March 27, 2024, and April 6, 2024. Investigators found that two children under 14 years of age were groomed and convinced to send explicit pictures and videos to a Snapchat account, and the said pictures and videos were then posted to a telegram group.

Rambarran was then detained, questioned, and statements were taken.
