Two Aurora men were arrested last week after detectives discovered more than 17,000 images and videos of child sex abuse saved on devices in their homes, police said.
Orlando Archuleta, 54, was arrested and charged with five felony counts of child sex exploitation, according to Arapahoe County court records. More than 15,000 child sex abuse images were found on his devices during a search, according to a from the Aurora Police Department.
Dzhamshed Yusupov, 38, faces seven counts of the same charge, court records show. Investigators found 69 images and more than 2,600 videos on his seized devices, police said.
As of Thursday, both men had posted a $10,000 bail, according to court records.
“Every image and every video represents the abuse of a real child,” Aurora Police Department Investigations Bureau Commander Marc Paolino stated in the release. “These are not files or data; they are innocent victims who deserve protection, dignity and justice.”
Aurora detectives received tips on both cases from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in early 2025, flagging online accounts sharing or possessing child sexual abuse material in Aurora, police said.
According to their arrest affidavits, officials with KiK, a messaging app, and Google submitted the tips after finding videos and photos of child sex abuse shared on those platforms.
The videos and photos showed infants, children and animals being abused and assaulted, detectives wrote in the affidavits.
Investigators traced the IP addresses of the accounts to Yusupov’s and Archuleta’s homes, police said.
Yusupov is next set to appear in Arapahoe County District Court on Feb. 25 for a preliminary hearing, according to court records. Archuleta will next appear on March 2.
The investigations both remain active, according to the Aurora Police Department. Anyone with any information can contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
