Happy December Good People!!👏🏾
Broward County deputies arrested a certified behavior analyst at his Pompano Beach home Tuesday after they said details from an informant led them to find more than 100 files of child sexual abuse material in his possession. The suspect specialized in working with children who have developmental disorders and used to own his own practice.
Hernan Ruf, 50, founded the Oakland Park-based clinic Behavioral Works. He describes himself as a native of Argentina and says he works closely with the school district. The company is no longer active but his certification still was as of Wednesday.
According to an arrest report, on Friday, a confidential informant went to Ruf’s home to receive a flash drive. Deputies said Ruf gave the informant a USB drive containing 74 photos and videos depicting child sexual abuse. Detectives subsequently executed a search warrant at the home.
There, authorities found an external hard drive containing more than 100 files of child sexual abuse material. They said the images and videos showed victims as young as “infant/toddler” age being raped or otherwise sexually abused.
Deputies arrested Ruf on 10 counts of possession of child pornography, one count of compiling child pornography and one count of directing or promoting the sexual performance of a child.
As of Wednesday, he was being held in the Broward Main Jail on a $240,000 total bond, records show. He was ordered not to have contact with children if he bonds out.
