U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have released footage of the arrest of 32-year-old Kwadwo Boaitey Frimpong, a Ghanaian student in the U.S., for possession of child pornography.

Mr. Boaitey, who arrived in the U.S. in 2019 on an F-1 visa for advanced education, was subject to investigation after suspected explicit material was found in his Google Drive.

Further investigations and a raid on his Maryland home revealed 2,000 images and over 100 videos on his laptop, including videos of infants being sexually abused.

He was subsequently brought before a judge, where he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 24 months in prison. However, he was remanded into ICE custody pending removal and deportation proceedings.
