2 men arrested with 17,000 photos, videos of child sex abuse, Aurora police say
Jan 29, 2026
Two Aurora men were arrested last week after detectives discovered more than 17,000 images and videos of child sex abuse 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 news release 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.
Investigators then traced the IP addresses of the accounts to Yusupov’s and Archuleta’s homes, police said.
