Rochester Man Pleads Guilty to Child Exploitation | Rochester News

A Rochester man, 33-year-old Rashad Rabah, just pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography — a crime that could land him 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The case escalated when postal inspectors intercepted a fentanyl package he tried to pick up in August 2025, leading them to seize his phone — which revealed chilling evidence: he’d been sending explicit messages to minors, paying them for sexual content, and was part of an online network trafficking in child exploitation. His crimes spanned nearly three years, from April 2022 to August 2025. Sentencing hasn’t been set yet — but this is one story that’s only just beginning to unfold.
