Ramanan Pathmanathan a dirtbag from Toronto Canada
arrested and convicted of sex crimes in USA, Friday Jan 30, 2026; Ramanan Pathmanathan - one of the most prolific alleged child predators and sextortionists FBI Houston has ever encountered. Ramanan Pathmanathan a Canadian
national pleaded guilty today in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia after admitting he sexually exploited over 100 children by creating an online persona and targeting them on social media. Ramanan Pathmanathan, 40, of Toronto, Canada, pleaded guilty to the production of child pornography and to coercion and enticement of a minor. Pathmanathan was arrested on Dec. 3, 2025, after being temporarily surrendered to
the United States, where he has remained incarcerated pending trial.
Criminal Background: Ramanan Pathmanathan was previously sentenced to 12 years in prison in Canada in 2022 for similar offenses (child sex offenders never cured). As
part of this plea agreement, Pathmanathan admitted that for seven years,
up until the day of his arrest in Canada, Pathmanathan
sexually exploited over 100 minor females. Pathmanathan posed as an
American teenage boy while communicating with the minor victims over
popular social media platforms. The victims ranged in ages from 11
to 17-years-old and were located all over the United States. While
video chatting with the minor victims, Pathmanathan persuaded and
coerced the children to engage in sexually explicit acts and, without
their knowledge or consent, Pathmanathan
screen recorded the minors while engaged in such behavior — collecting
the videos of his abuse.For these charges, Pathmanathan faces a maximum
penalty of life in prison, with a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison, in addition to fines and a period of supervised release.
