While many of our Creepy Ones destroy people lives protecting their own grooming friends, we have diddlers doing harm to other nations.

Perhaps you guys shouldnt defend these criminals feigning being the "good guys".




A Toronto man has pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting more than 100 children on social media in the United States.

The U.S. Justice Department said Ramanan Pathmanathan, 40, pleaded guilty to production of child pornography and coercion to entice a minor.

In a media release , the justice department noted Pathmanathan was arrested on Dec. 5, 2025 after being temporarily surrendered in the U.S.

“Today’s guilty plea marks a critical step toward justice for over 100 targeted victims in the United States who this predator harmed with his diabolical actions,” A. Tysen Duva, Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Justice Department’s Criminal Division, said in a statement.

“For years, while hiding in another country behind a fabricated online persona, he used manipulation, threats, and fear to coerce unsuspecting juveniles into producing and engaging in sexually explicit acts, robbing them of their innocence.”

Man admitted to exploiting girls​

Pathmanathan reportedly admitted, as part of a plea agreement, that he exploited 145 girls and boys over a seven-year period by posing as a teenage boy. The suspect demanded that the children engage in sexually explicit activities while in video chats with him.

The 40-year-old man also sent the victims sexually explicit images to them. He would record the victims’ sexual acts and would use the material to blackmail them if they didn’t continue to engage with him.



The sexual exploitation acts stopped after Toronto police arrested him in 2021. In October 2022, Pathmanathan pleaded guilty to similar offences in Canada and was sentenced to 12 years in prison, the Department of Justice stated.
