The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reaching out to the Brooklyn community following the indictment of Ramel Warner, known also by his nickname "Menah," for the sexual exploitation of a child. In a collaborative effort with the NYPD Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, the FBI believes Warner may have more victims, as reported by ABC7 New York and echoed by an FBI statement.

Warner, who was involved with an afterschool program and a children's dance group at a local middle school, was charged last month for crimes committed in 2022. The accusation involves the rape of a child he was babysitting, and the creation of six videos that depict this abuse which later found their way to the dark web, according to the indictment detailed by ABC7 New York. The task force involved believes that a long history of Warner's access to children raises the distressing possibility of additional, yet unidentified, victims.

In an effort to bring justice and support to those affected, the FBI has issued a public appeal for families to come forward. Parents, guardians, or anyone with knowledge of Warner's activities, especially in the realm of sexual exploitation, are urged to provide information. The authorities have established a direct communication line for this case at [email protected], as confirmed by both ABC7 and the FBI’s own press release.

The indictment of Ramel Warner on January 28, for a single count of sexual exploitation of a child, only scratches at the surface of a potential series of unrecognized abuses.
