(Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A(a)(5)(B) and (b)(2).)
The bases for my knowledge and for the foregoing charges are, in part, as follows:
4. I am a Special Agent with the FBI, and I have been personally involved in the
investigation of this matter. This affidavit is based in part on my personal participation in the
investigation, my review of documents, conversations I have had with other law enforcement
officers and witnesses about this matter, my training and experience, and numerous discussions I
have had with other law enforcement personnel concerning the creation, distribution, and
proliferation of child pornography. Because this Complaint is being submitted for the limited
purpose of establishing probable cause to arrest the defendant, I have not included the details of
every aspect of the investigation. Where actions, conversations, and statements of others are
related herein, they are related in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated.
Definitions
5. The following terms have the indicated meaning in this Complaint:
a. The terms “minor,” “sexually explicit conduct,” and “visual depiction,” as
used herein, are defined as set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2256.
b. The term “child pornography,” as used herein, is a visual depiction of a
minor involved in sexually explicit conduct as defined in Title 18, United States Code, Section
2256(8).
c. An Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a unique numeric address used to
identify a particular computer connected to the Internet. An IP address looks like a series of
numbers separated by periods. Every computer connected to the Internet must be assigned an IP
address so that communications from or directed to that computer are routed properly.

COLON CORREA is Reported to Law Enforcement
6. Based on my conversations with other law enforcement officers involved in this
investigation, my review of law enforcement reports and records, and my review of text messages
obtained in the course of this investigation, I have learned, in substance and in part, the following:
a. On or about December 21, 2022, a parent reported to law enforcement that
she had discovered sexually explicit text messages sent to her 14-year-old child (“Minor-1”) by an
individual purporting to be a 17-year-old male purportedly named “John” and who was later
identified to be WINSTON COLON CORREA, the defendant. The parent indicated that she had
engaged a private investigator, who had determined that the individual who sent sexually explicit
text messages was not a 17-year-old male, but in fact was a thirty-one-year-old male from New
York, named “Winston Jonathan Colon Correa.”
b. On or about January 10, 2023, law enforcement conducted a forensic
interview of Minor-1. Minor-1 reported that a male claiming to be 17 years old contacted her by
text message. Minor-1 did not know how the male obtained Minor-1’s phone number. Minor-1
said that the male had sent her text messages attempting to get sexually explicit images from
Minor-1, as well as messages about meeting with Minor-1 in person to engage in sexual contact.
Minor-1 further informed law enforcement that the male sent her a sexually explicit image of his
penis.
c. Minor-1’s cellphone was provided to law enforcement. Based on my
review of text messages obtained from Minor-1’s cellphone, I know that the user of a cellphone
number ending in 6984 (the “6984 Cellphone”) sent sexually explicit text messages to Minor-1 on
or about December 9, 2022.
i. The sexually explicit messages from COLON CORREA to Minor-
1 included questions about Minor-1’s sexual experiences and preferences, and statements about
sexual activity that COLON CORREA wanted to engage in with Minor-1. In addition, COLON
CORREA attempted to persuade Minor-1 to send him depictions of Minor-1 engaged in sexually
explicit conduct. For example, at approximately 9:11 p.m.,
1
COLON CORREA asked Minor-1,
“Do you touch yourself when you are wet[?]”
2
One minute later, Minor-1 responded, “What if I
told you I’m touching myself rn.” COLON CORREA replied, “You got to show me.”
ii. COLON CORREA attempted to persuade Minor-1 to send him
sexually explicit depictions of herself despite knowing, based on text messages sent to him by
Minor-1, that Minor-1 was 14 years old.
d. Based on my review of records from T-Mobile, Inc., I know that the 6984
Cellphone is subscribed to in the name of “Winston J. Colon Correa,” at a particular address in the
Bronx, New York (“Address-1”).
1
All times referred to herein are in Coordinated Universal Time (“UTC”).
2
Unless indicated by the use of brackets or ellipses, all text messages quoted herein are unaltered
from their original form, including typos, grammatical errors, abbreviations, or slang terms.
4
e. Based on a comparison of a selfie photograph that the user of the 6984
Cellphone sent to Minor-1 and an image of COLON CORREA obtained from law enforcement
database records, I believe that COLON CORREA is the user of the 6984 Cellphone and the person
who sent sexually explicit text messages to Minor-1 on or about December 9, 2022.
f. Based on my review of law enforcement database records, I know that
COLON CORREA was approximately 31 years old on or about December 9, 2022, when COLON
CORREA sent sexually explicit messages to Minor-1.
Law Enforcement’s Search of COLON CORREA’s Phone
7. On or about February 22, 2024, based in part on information provided by Minor-1,
law enforcement obtained a warrant to search the person of WINSTON COLON CORREA, the
defendant, including any cellphones in his possession (the “Phone Warrant”). Based on my
involvement in this investigation and my participation in the search conducted pursuant to the
Phone Warrant, I am aware of the following, in substance and in part:
a. Law enforcement executed the Phone Warrant on or about February 29,
2024, as COLON CORREA was approaching a particular address in the Bronx, New York
(“Address-2”). At the time, COLON CORREA was in possession of the 6984 Cellphone—that is,
the phone COLON CORREA used to communicate with Minor-1. Law enforcement seized the
6984 Cellphone. During the course of law enforcement’s execution of the Phone Warrant,
COLON CORREA confirmed that he resided at Address-2 in the Bronx, New York.
b. Law enforcement’s search of the 6984 Cellphone revealed that COLON
CORREA has engaged in sexually explicit text message conversations with numerous minors
other than Minor-1. Based on my training and experience, I have identified, on the 6984
Cellphone, sexually explicit text messages between COLON CORREA and approximately over
15 individuals whom I believe to be minor girls, and over approximately 20 files, which I believe
contain child pornography.
c. In particular, law enforcement’s search has revealed that in the course of his
text message conversations with minors, COLON CORREA induced the production of child
pornography, received child pornography, and possessed child pornography, including sexually
explicit depictions of minors’ genitals, and depictions of minors masturbating. COLON CORREA
engaged in this conduct despite having reason to know and knowing that he was communicating
with minors.
COLON CORREA Produces, Receives, and Possesses Child Pornography of Victims 1-3
8. Based on my participation in this investigation, my conversations with other law
enforcement officers and witnesses, and my review of the 6984 Cellphone, I have learned that
WINSTON COLON CORREA, the defendant, engaged in sexually explicit communications with,
among others, Victim-1, Victim-2, and Victim-3, as described in relevant part below.
Victim-1
9. Based on my participation in law enforcement’s review of the 6984 Cellphone and
my conversations with witnesses and other law enforcement officers, I have learned the following,
5
in substance and in part, regarding the text message communications between WINSTON COLON
CORREA, the defendant, and Victim-1:

photograph of Victim-1. Approximately one minute later, Victim-1 sent a photograph depicting
two individuals inside a school who, based on my training and experience, appear to be minors.

glasses with frames. COLON CORREA responded at approximately 5:47 p.m.,
asking, “The one is you?” Victim-1 replied, “Yes[.]”
iii. Based on my communications with a parent of Victim-1 (“Parent-
1”), I know that Parent-1 confirmed that the individual depicted in the photograph

communications with Parent-1, that at the time of Victim-1’s communications with COLON
CORREA described herein, Victim-1 was 16 years old.

in nature. At approximately 5:53 p.m. on or about August 27, 2022, COLON CORREA asked
Victim-1, “Do you know what’s ddlg[?].” Based on my training and experience, I know that
“ddlg” is an acronym for “daddy dom/little girl,” which is a category of sexual relationship in
which a male plays the role of a dominant “daddy” and the female plays the role of a young girl.
COLON CORREA then asked Victim-1 about her sexual experiences and preferences, including
questions about Victim-1’s interest in sex toys and particular sex acts.
v. At approximately 8:35 p.m., COLON CORREA asked Victim-1,
“Places you had sex at[?].” Victim-1 then described the first time she had sex, which was in the

. . raw and have you pin down going rough while fingering your ass . . . [w]hile I have a camera
set up watching us.”
vi. At approximately 8:54 p.m., COLON CORREA texted Victim-1, “I
would love a video of you.” Approximately 4 minutes later, Victim-1 sent COLON CORREA a
video, approximately 90 seconds long, of a female wearing light blue underwear inside a bathroom
stall, with the message, “This was me at school.”
1. In the video, the female wearing light blue underwear can be
seen gyrating her buttocks in a sexual manner. The skin color and body composition of the female
are consistent with the skin color and body composition of Victim-1, as depicted in the photograph
described in paragraph 10(a)(ii).
2. COLON CORREA responded, “Wish I was their I would
have you bend over fucking both your holes.”

“What else do you have[?]” Approximately one minute later, Victim-1 sent COLON CORREA a
video that is approximately 90 seconds long.

she masturbated. The light blue underwear is the same color as the underwear from the video
described in paragraph 9(a)(vi).
2. The skin color and body composition of the female are
consistent with the skin color and body composition of the female in the video described in

b.On or about May 28, 2022, COLON CORREA began communicating with
Victim-2 by text message. COLON CORREA’s messages to Victim-2 were frequently sexual in
nature. In the course of the communications, Victim-2 sent COLON CORREA multiple images
of herself engaged in sexually explicit conduct:

Victim-3
11. Based on my participation in law enforcement’s review of the 6984 Cellphone, my
conversations with other law enforcement officers, and my review of local law enforcement
records, I have learned the following, in substance and in part, regarding sexually explicit

Victim-3 by text message.
3
COLON CORREA’s messages with Victim-3 were frequently sexual
in nature. The messages also reflected COLON CORREA’s awareness of Victim-3’s age. For
example:
i. On or about March 9, 2023, at approximately 2:03 a.m., COLON
CORREA asked Victim-3 if she wanted to have sex with or without a condom, and if Victim-3
was on birth control. After Victim-3 indicated that she was not on birth control, COLON

then wrote, in apparent reference to himself, “But your dating a older guy[.]” Victim-3 then asked,
“Wait aren’t u like 15???” COLON CORREA responded, falsely, that he was only 17 years old:
“17 my dear . . . Did you forget[?] . . . We talk about this.”
2. Based on my review of law enforcement database records, I
know that COLON CORREA was not 17 years old at the time of his message to Victim-3; rather,
he was 31 years old.
c. COLON CORREA continued to engage in sexually explicit text
communications with Victim-3 through March and April 2023. In the course of the

a t-shirt and sweatpants, COLON CORREA instructed her to take her sweatpants off and “Show

to for master . . . You have panties on[?] . . . Take them off too.” When Victim-3 texted, “They’re
off,” COLON CORREA responded, “Good girl . . . Can I see so I can lick you slowly[?]” Victim-
3 said, “No[.]” At approximately 10:51 a.m., COLON CORREA tried again: “Show me you
fingering your pussy[.]” Victim-3 responded, “Noo[.]” Approximately one minute later, COLON
CORREA texted back, “I want to see your [p]ussy that belong to me . . . Can I see your pussy . . .
That will get cream[?]” Victim-3 responded, “I don’t wanna[.]”
ii. On or about April 12, 2023, at approximately 11:26 p.m., COLON
CORREA texted Victim-3, “Wyd,” which I understand to mean, “What are you doing?” Less than
a minute later, Victim-3 texted back, “Wanna see[?]” COLON CORREA responded, “Yes[.]” At
approximately 11:28 p.m., Victim-3 texted COLON CORREA a 45-second video depicting her
genitals. In the video, Victim-3 displays her vaginal area, massages her vulva and inserts her
fingers into her vagina. Approximately one minute later, COLON CORREA responded, “Damn I
want to fuck you.”
iii. One day later, on or about April 13, 2023, at approximately 10:08
p.m., Victim-3 texted COLON CORREA a video again depicting her genitals. The 99-second
video shows Victim-3, in the same location seen in the video described in the preceding paragraph,
massaging her vagina with a pink vibrator. COLON CORREA responded, “Put it inside of you .
. . trust daddy[.]”

iv. COLON CORREA possessed the videos described in paragraphs
11(c)(ii) & (iii), in the Bronx when law enforcement seized the 6984 Cellphone on February 29,
2024.
COLON CORREA’s Sexual Relationship with Minor-2
12. Based on my participation in the review of the 6984 Cellphone and my
conversations with other law enforcement officers, I have learned the following, in substance and
in part, regarding the relationship between WINSTON COLON CORREA, the defendant, and a
16-year-old minor (“Minor-2”):
a. Based on my conversations with other law enforcement officers, and my
review of law enforcement and school records, I have learned that Minor-2 is presently 16 years
old, and that she was 16 years old at the time of her communications with COLON CORREA
described herein.
b. On or about July 27, 2023, at approximately 12:18 p.m., COLON CORREA
began communicating with Minor-2 by text message. COLON CORREA’s messages to Minor-2
were frequently sexual in nature. COLON CORREA’s text messages with Minor-2 also reflected
his awareness that Minor-2 attended school, and that she was subject to parental restrictions. For
example, COLON CORREA and Minor-2 had the following exchanges:
i. On or about July 28, 2023, in a discussion with Minor-2 about
playing the game “Pokemon,” Minor-2 joked that COLON CORREA should “go to my school.”
COLON CORREA responded, “Idk I’m to o[l]d for your school lol[.]”
ii. On or about February 6, 2024, at approximately 2:27 p.m., COLON
CORREA texted Minor-2, “Wish you can come over . . . Is it wrong that I kind a want to breed
you.” Minor-2 responded, “Idk,” which I understand to be slang for “I don’t know.” COLON
CORREA texted back, “Like if I just cream you to make little wolf pups that I take care of you
and them.” Minor-2 responded, “I can’t get pregnant yet- my dad will kill me.”
c. In addition, the text messages between COLON CORREA and Minor-2
reflect that COLON CORREA met with Minor-2 in person to engage in sexual activity with her
and produce child pornography. For example:
i. On or about July 28, 2023, at approximately 1:06 p.m., COLON
CORREA wrote, “Beside me did you miss anything else[?]” He then texted, “I think I know what
you miss . . . You miss master cock going in your holes.” Minor-2 responded, “Maybe.”
ii. On or about September 3, 2023, at approximately 1:30 a.m.,
COLON CORREA texted Minor-2, “If you want me to compare which tittys are the best I need to
see yours[.]” Minor-2 responded, “U already seen them.” COLON CORREA texted back, “It
doesn’t hurt to see them again.” At approximately 1:38 a.m., COLON CORREA texted, “Don’t
worry I’m going to take more photos of us . . . Like this[.]” COLON CORREA then sent a
photograph depicting COLON CORREA and Minor-2 together, posing for the camera in an
embrace.
12
iii. On or about September 16, 2023, at approximately 3:48 p.m.,
COLON CORREA texted Minor-2, “Same spot?” At approximately 4:05 p.m., COLON
CORREA texted, “I’m at the school.” Minor-2 responded, “O ok, I wish I can come badly.”
COLON CORREA texted back, “If you can let me know we can go to our spot hug make out and
stuff.” At approximately 4:11 p.m., COLON CORREA texted, “What are you doing . . . Th[e]
bathroom are open at ne[x]t to the field.” Minor-2 responded, “Lol, I’m talking with my dad.”
COLON CORREA texted back, “Trying to convince him to let you out for a bit.” At
approximately 4:29 p.m., COLON CORREA texted, “Any luck[?]” Minor-2 responded, “No.” At
approximately 5:27 p.m., COLON CORREA texted, “Ugh wish I can see you for a bit before I go
home . . . Quickie?” Minor-2 responded, “He said I can’t leave the house.” COLON CORREA
texted back, “Well shit . . . I guess next time[.]”
iv. On or about November 3, 2023, at approximately 12:50 a.m., Minor-
2 texted COLON CORREA, “My friend doesn’t believe me that I gave head to someone.”
COLON CORREA responded, “I mean you gave head to me a few times.” Minor-2 texted back,
“True.” At approximately 12:52 a.m., Minor-2 asked COLON CORREA, “Can you send me the
video of me giving u head[?]” Minor-2 requested the video because she wanted to show it to her
friend who did not believe that she had “g[iven] head to someone.” COLON CORREA responded,
“Ok give me a minute[.]” Subsequent text communications reflect that COLON CORREA sent a
video to Minor-2. Just minutes later, at approximately 1:02 a.m., Minor-2 texted, “She scream and
now believes me.”

v. On or about November 3, 2023, at approximately 1:03 a.m.,
COLON CORREA referenced another video depicting a sex act between COLON CORREA and
Minor-2: “I use to have a video of us doing it but I lost it[.]”
vi. On or about October 2, 2023, at approximately 6:20 p.m., COLON
CORREA texted Minor-2, “I kept watching that video we made[.]” Minor-2 responded, “Shhh.”
COLON CORREA texted back, “I would love to make another one[.]”
d. COLON CORREA’s text messages to Minor-2 show that he persistently
sought to meet with Minor-2 to engage in sexual activity with her, including as recently as
February 2024.
i. In the two weeks prior to law enforcement’s seizure of the 6984
Cellphone, COLON CORREA sent nearly two dozen text messages to Minor-2 attempting to
arrange a meeting with her to engage in sexual activity.
ii. Those messages include the following exchange from on or about
February 28, 2024—that is, one day before law enforcement seized the 6984 Cellphone:
COLON CORREA (10:34 a.m.): Next week thrusday don’t make plans please
Minor-2 (10:35 a.m.): It depends on the weather dear
COLON CORREA (10:37 a.m.): Light rain
4
Based on my review of the 6984 Cellphone, I have learned that the video of Minor-2 performing
oral sex on COLON CORREA was not saved on or sent using the 6984 Cellphone, suggesting that
COLON CORREA used other devices or electronic platforms to save and transmit the video to
Minor-2.
13
COLON CORREA (10:37 a.m.): I think
Minor-2 (10:38 a.m.): Ok
COLON CORREA (10:39 a.m.): And we would be outside or inside?
Minor-2 (10:40 a.m.): If my dad isn’t home, inside if he is at home than school
COLON CORREA (10:41 a.m.): I hope your dad not home cause we can make out
COLON CORREA (1:14 p.m.): Question?
Minor-2 (6:49 p.m.): Ask
COLON CORREA (6:49 p.m.): How do you feel about anal?
Minor-2 (6:49 p.m.): Idk
Minor-2 (6:50 p.m.): Pain?
COLON CORREA (6:50 p.m.): Probably for the first time maybe now after
Minor-2 (6:53 p.m.): Ok
COLON CORREA (6:54 p.m.): We can try to see how much you will take
COLON CORREA (6:54 p.m.): Also if you [d]ad not home do I meet at the house?
COLON CORREA (6:56 p.m.): When we meet I want three things from you
13. Based on my participation in this investigation, I have also learned the following
about COLON CORREA’s knowledge of Minor-2’s age:
a. During the execution of the Phone Warrant on or about February 29, 2024,
I asked WINSTON COLON CORREA, the defendant, in substance and in part, if he engaged in
sexual communications with girls using his phone. COLON CORREA said, in substance and in
part, that he had communicated with some girls, but that if he came to learn that any girl was
underage, he stopped speaking to them. COLON CORREA stated, in substance and in part, that
he had stopped speaking with a particular girl, who COLON CORREA identified by a first name
(“Name-1”), upon learning that she was a minor.
b. Based on my review of the 6984 Cellphone, I know that COLON CORREA
saved Minor-2’s phone number under Name-1, indicating that COLON CORREA’s reference to
Name-1 was a reference to Minor-2.
c. Based on my review of the 6984 Cellphone, I further know that COLON
CORREA’s statement to me, that he stopped speaking to Name-1 upon learning she was a minor,
was untrue. Rather, in the days leading up to the seizure of the 6984 Cellphone, COLON CORREA
was making plans to meet with Name-1 (that is, Minor-2) to engage in sexual activity with her.
See supra ¶¶ 12(d)(i)-(ii).
14
14.WHEREFORE, I respectfully request that a warrant be issued for the arrest of
WINSTON COLON CORREA, the defendant, and that he be arrested, and imprisoned or bailed,
as the case may be.
