The man attempted to arrange in-person meetups and described sexual acts he planned to perform on the victim multiple times, authorities said.
Detectives in the cyber crimes unit launched an investigation into the activity and identified Bueno-Tenempaguay as the alleged user of the social media accounts being used to communicate with the victim, officials said. Investigators also alleged he sent the minor sexually explicit media files and told the child to send him similar materials, authorities said.
Detectives executed a search warrant at Bueno-Tenempaguay’s residence on Friday with the assistance of the Danbury Police Department. He was charged with second-degree luring and third-degree debauching the morals of a child, prosecutors said.The investigation is ongoing. The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office is seeking information from people who believe their children may have communicated with the following social media usernames: 1glamorouspiti, $GlamorousPiti, pitinice20 and edison20000009.
