UFO author appears in court on child pornography charges

Stanley Romanek claims more than 100 encounters with the extraterrestrial



A Loveland man who is well-known in the paranormal community for videos and images that he claims depict alien life appeared in 8th Judicial District Court this week on allegations of possession and distribution of child pornography.

Stanley Romanek, 51, was arrested Feb. 13 on felony charges of sexual exploitation of a child. According to Loveland police, a search warrant of Romanek's home in the 3900 block of Ash Avenue was executed in April 2013 and an arrest warrant was issued last week.

The investigation was initiated last year when the Department of Homeland Security identified the IP address belonging to Romanek as a location where images and movies containing child pornography were being publicly shared, according to an arrest affidavit.

The arrest affidavit also alleges that Loveland police detectives received a similar case from the Department of Homeland Security in a 2009 investigation, where a homeland security agent conducted downloads of child pornography files that were later identified as coming from an IP address listing to Romanek.
