Baysider used Instagram to
lure teen into sex acts: DA
BY ROBERT POZARYCKI
A Bayside man was
charged with allegedly using
the social media platform
Instagram to lure an
underage girl into sex acts,
according to the Queens
District Attorney’s office.
Prosecutors said
Juan Cabrera, 21, of Bell
Boulevard, faces charges
of attempted use of a child
in a sexual performance,
patronizing a prostitute,
disseminating indecent
material to minors and
endangering the welfare
of a child. He faces up to
seven years behind bars
if convicted, according to
Queens District Attorney
Richard Brown.
Law enforcement sources
said that Cabrera, whose
Instagram username is
DAILYANTIX, connected
with a 12-year-old girl
through the social media
network on or about Sept.
28, 2018. During a chat, he
allegedly offered the girl
$200 if she would watch
him masturbate. He later
increased the offer and said
he would provide her $1,000
if she would agree to have
sex with him.
Authorities said Cabrera
allegedly told the victim to
place the money in her friend’s
family mailbox. When the girl
asked how he knew her friend,
Brown said Cabrera allegedly
told her that he knew where her
friend lived, and that he had
seen her in the neighborhood
with her mother.
Later in the chat,
prosecutors said Cabrera
asked the 12-year-old victim
if she wanted to watch him
masturbate alone, or with
her friend, who was 13 at the
time of the incident.
Police were alerted to
the lewd exchange, and an
investigation conducted by
the NYPD Vice Major Case
Team linked Cabrera to the
Instagram account through
his cellphone records. Prior
to his arrest, authorities
said Cabrera allegedly told
police that the DAILYANTIX
account belongs to him.
“The internet and many
apps offered on cellphones
can be entertaining and
educational; however, they can
also be portals for those on the
hunt for young victims,” Brown
said in a statement. “This kind
of behavior will not be tolerated
in Queens County.”
Brown said that the
investigation remains
ongoing, and anyone
who has communicated
with the Instagram user
DAILYANTIX should call
Detective Phil Adszewski of
the Vice Major Case Team at
(646) 872-7609.
