Predator Arrested In Front Of Mother After Police Find Disturbing Collection Of Images On His Phone

Summary

On March 27, 2025, detectives executed a search warrant at a residence in Dayton, Ohio, as part of an investigation involving alleged sexual assault and illegal online activity. They seized Julian’s phone and computer equipment for examination. Officers told him he was not being arrested at that time and invited him to contact the investigator if he wanted to provide his account.

After obtaining additional warrants, investigators said they found a large collection of child sexual abuse material on Julian’s devices, including videos stored in locked folders on his phone. They also recovered an older phone he had reportedly lost. Based on the digital evidence, authorities obtained warrants for two felony counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor.

After his arrest, Julian was advised of his rights and said he wanted a lawyer. The interview did not proceed, and he was taken to jail for booking and arraignment.

The investigation also involved separate sexual-assault allegations. Prosecutors later brought three first-degree felony charges alleging sexual conduct by force or threat of force, covering periods between 2023 and 2025. Julian initially pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial, but later pleaded guilty to all three counts under a plea agreement. An earlier indictment was dismissed.

He received consecutive sentences totaling 25 to 30 years in prison. He was also classified as a Tier III sex offender, requiring lifetime registration every 90 days, and will face five years of mandatory post-release supervision.
