YouTube star Steven Fernandez, 15, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly exploiting a 12-year-old female for sexual acts.
According to TMZ, the 15-year-old skateboard star and social media guru allegedly promised to introduce the young girl to celebrities in exchange for sex acts. The young girl agreed and an sexual act was committed.
Police said Fernandez was the 'prime mover' in the conspiracy to lure young girls off the street.
LAPD also arrested his manager Jose Barajas, 22 and another skater, 27-year-old Keelan Dadd for helping with the exploitation.
They were all booked on charges of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 - a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.
Barajas’ bail was set at $475,000 and Dadd’s at $200,000. Both men have bailed out.
Fernandez, as a minor, was released to his mother and ordered to wear an ankle tracker, pending his court appearance.
