A Livonia man is accused of using his modeling agency to entice underage girls to send him images of child pornography.
A criminal complaint was filed against Ryan Ulman. He is accused of being in possession of child pornography.
Federal investigators discovered Ulman during a separate sex trafficking case in the Flint area.
According to the criminal complaint, agents interviewed multiple underage sex trafficking victims who were addicted to heroin and methamphetamine. It was during this investigation that authorities learned of Ryan Ulman.
He was operating a model agency, Instinct Entertainment, which reportedly included some of those same juvenile sex trafficking victims. However, it did not appear that Ulman was connected to the actual underage prostitution operation.
The FBI began an investigation into Ulman and obtained a search warrant for his home.
According to the criminal complaint, Ulman told FBI agents that he has a problem with child pornography and gave graphic details. The FBI located multiple images of child pornography in Ulman's bedroom.
