CHESAPEAKE - A 19-year-old who police said is in the country illegally was detained after a store clerk who processed film he dropped off suspected an undressed girl on the film could be underage.

Carlos Ramos of the 3700 block of S. Military Hwy. is charged with producing sexually explicit materials, said Christi Golden, a police spokeswoman. Ramos is being held without bond in the Chesapeake jail. Other charges are pending.

A clerk at the Wal-Mart on Grassfield Parkway called police Tuesday after processing the pictures, which included a 13-year-old girl, Golden said. The girl is nude in at least one of the pictures.

When Ramos went to pick up the pictures, police questioned him about their content, Golden said.

Ramos told police that he was dating the girl, Golden said. The girl admitted to police that she had a relationship with Ramos and her mother told them she was unaware that any sexual activity had occurred.

Police discovered that Ramos is in the country illegally and contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, Golden said.

Ramos will face the charges in court. If he is convicted, he will serve his sentence, then be deported, Golden said.
