Reports indicate Ranieri engaged with his victims through Fortnite and other online games, offering them in-game items in exchange for participating in private Zoom calls of a sexual nature. During a search of Ranieri's residence, detectives confiscated gaming consoles, computers, and mobile phones.

Ranieri faces multiple charges, including the production and distribution of child pornography. Investigations also revealed that Ranieri had applied to establish a child care business in October of the previous year.
