A Maryland resident, Frank Olivarria, 35, has been charged with distributing child pornography following an unsealed complaint in U.S. District Court. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Court documents state that beginning August 1, 2025, Olivarria communicated with another user through a dating application and later on an encrypted messaging platform about his sexual interest in children. During these exchanges, Olivarria said, “I really like cute toddlers man.” He is accused of distributing approximately eight videos showing the sexual abuse of children, including one video where a child was bound. Authorities noted that Olivarria previously worked for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
FBI Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox from the Washington Field Office joined Pirro in announcing the charges.
The FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force is leading the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Caroline Burrell is prosecuting the case.
This prosecution falls under Project Safe Childhood, an initiative launched by the Department of Justice in February 2006 to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. The project brings together federal, state, and local resources to locate and prosecute those who exploit children via the Internet and to identify victims.

Authorities remind that charges outlined in a complaint are allegations only; defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
