Geneva, New York Man Pleads Guilty to Possession of Child Pornography, Faces 15-Year Minimum
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rafael Arroyo-Ubiles, 28, of Geneva, New York, pleaded guilty in federal court on November 9 to possession of child pornography, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of New York announced.
According to the office, Arroyo-Ubiles entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Meredith A. Vacca. The charge carries a minimum penalty of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 20 years, along with a lifetime period of supervised release and a $250,000 fine; the final sentence will be determined by the court.
The case began in January 2026, when the Geneva Police Department was investigating illegal narcotics sales in the city. Prosecutors previously said officers executing search warrants related to those sales discovered an online account belonging to Arroyo-Ubiles and, while searching it for evidence of narcotics activity, observed videos depicting him sexually abusing a five-year-old girl. He was then arrested and charged with production and possession of child pornography.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle P. Rossi and was investigated by the Geneva Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Arroyo-Ubiles now awaits sentencing.
