Details of the Investigation

The case began with a CyberTipline Report received through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The report flagged two videos uploaded to Snapchat on December 22, 2024, containing suspected child sexual abuse material. Investigators traced the files back to an account associated with Cruz, linking them through identifying details including his date of birth, email address, screen name, and an IP address registered to the family’s Spectrum/Charter Communications account at their residence on Ashley Drive.

Subpoenaed records from the internet service provider confirmed the IP address was assigned to Cruz’s household, where he resides with his mother.

According to police, both reported files were videos depicting different pre-pubescent females engaged in sexual acts with adult males. The affidavit states that Cruz himself did not appear in either video but was identified as the uploader.

Investigators obtained a search warrant for the Snapchat account, which confirmed the CyberTipline findings and provided further identifying information tying the account to Cruz. A subsequent residential search warrant was executed at the Ashley Drive home on the morning of September 5, 2025.
