⚠️ Burlington County man arrested for online child sex crimes
➡️ Over 50 underage girls were targeted in sexual conversations
🔴 Trial date set as Briones-Guevara remains in jail
A 33-year-old Burlington County man is accused of being a rampant online child sex predator.
Gilmer Briones-Guevara, of Riverside, was arrested in April after investigators found he had sexual conversations online with at least 50 underage girls.
Targeting victims with explicit content
Briones-Guevara often sent photos and videos of himself masturbating and requested they sent him back similar videos and photos of themselves, Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw said.
Ten of the young victims he targeted did send him self-produced child sexual abuse material, Bradshaw said.
Investigators believe that there may be additional victims of Briones-Guevara’s activities.
Anyone who believes their child was targeted, online or in-person, is urged to contact the Prosecutor’s Office.
