ST. CLOUD, Fla. — Ezequiel Rodriguez, a 22-year-old youth pastor from Kissimmee, has been arrested on ten counts of Possession of Photo/Video of Sexual Performance by a Child, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office announced.
The investigation began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) flagged Rodriguez for allegedly distributing and storing child sexual abuse material online. This led the Sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit to open a case.
On July 24, 2025, ICAC detectives executed a search warrant at Brack Ranch in St. Cloud, where Rodriguez was reportedly found in possession of multiple images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of minors. He was arrested on the spot and booked into the Osceola County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
Rodriguez served as a youth pastor at Kingdom Conquerors Church, located at 1046 Plaza Drive in Kissimmee. Authorities have not indicated if any of the illegal content involved individuals from the church.
The investigation is ongoing.
