Illegal Alien Living in Laramie Gets 30 Years for Child Porn

A 23-year-old illegal alien from Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, living in Laramie, has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for producing child pornography, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Wyoming announced Tuesday afternoon.

How the Investigation Unfolded

According to court documents, on July 8, 2025, the mother of a victim found a video of Maycon Stiven Molina Perez sexually assaulting a child on his phone.

She immediately called the Laramie Police Department and gave officers Perez’s Samsung Galaxy phone.

They obtained a search warrant and seized the child’s clothing and other devices.

Law enforcement attempted to locate Perez but learned he had fled to Colorado.

He was subsequently located in Colorado later that same day, and had an iPhone in his possession, which was also seized.

Discovering a Disturbing Digital Archive

Agents with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force located more than 1,400 files of child pornography on the Samsung Galaxy phone, including bestiality, infant/toddler sexual assault, and sadomasochistic files.

They also found the video of the assault on the child which took place in Perez’s home.

More than 1,280 image files and several videos, including two additional videos involving the victim, were located on the iPhone.

Additionally, Perez was sharing files of child pornography though multiple apps, including Telegram and Whatsapp.

Immeasurable Pain

"The pain caused by these crimes is immeasurable, and no sentence can undo the trauma inflicted on the victim and their family," said U.S. Attorney Darin Smith. "We are deeply grateful to the victim’s family for their courage and to law enforcement for their relentless work in pursuing justice."

"(This) judgment sends a clear message that no matter where you are from, if you commit the heinous crimes of sexually abusing children, you will be held fully accountable," Smith added.

Consequences Beyond Prison Time

In addition to the 30-year sentence, Perez was also ordered to pay restitution of no less than $3,000 per requesting victim, held open for 90 days.

Perez will be subject to 10 years of supervised release once he's released from prison.
