FERNDALE, Mich. \u2013 Brian Allen Rose, 47, of Ferndale, was arraigned on a three-count indictment for allegedly trading photos and videos of children — some as young as infants, said federal investigators. <\/p>\n
He was arraigned March 11, 2026, for receipt, distribution and possession of child sexually abusive material.<\/p>\n
A Special Agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Detroit said in a complaint that the case\u2019s dark trail runs through another person, identified as \u201cSubject-1.\u201d<\/p>\n
How it started<\/p>\n
In September 2025, FBI Detroit searched Subject-1\u2019s home and seized his phone. Subject-1 had already been identified as distributing child sexually abusive material through a mobile app, the feds said.<\/p>\n
After searching Subject-1\u2019s phone, they discovered they had been trading child sexually abusive material with multiple people — including Brian Allen Rose.<\/p>\n
The feds said they discovered Rose sent at least 23 videos containing child sexually abusive material through a mobile messaging app and received videos from Subject-1 via the same app. Rose\u2019s display name was \u201cD J.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else they found<\/p>\n
The two men\u2019s conversation went beyond trading files, according to the complaint: \u201cRose and Subject-1 also discussed their mutual sexual interest in children and their desire to sexually assault children.\u201d<\/p>\n
That same day, the feds said, Rose sent Subject-1 at least three videos containing child sexually abusive material, including a video described as showing an unidentified man with a young girl.<\/p>\n
Rose also allegedly sent at least 16 videos containing child sexually abusive material to Subject-1, including videos described as sexually abusive with infants and toddlers with unidentified men.<\/p>\n
Rose\u2019s arrest and next court date<\/p>\n
After sending subpoenas to the messaging application and Verizon, investigators said they identified Brian Rose at an address in Ferndale. FBI Detroit also said an Oakland County Sheriff\u2019s Office report from 2024 listed Rose\u2019s phone number and home address, and the Michigan Secretary of State listed the same Ferndale address.<\/p>\n
Rose faces 5 to 20 years in federal prison, at least five years up to a life term of supervised release, and up to a $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n
After the arraignment, Rose was ordered to remain behind bars pending trial. A status conference is set for March 30, 2026.<\/p>\n
