Story out of Los Angeles, California:
Steven Fernandez, 15, of Compton, Jose Barajas, 22, and Keelan Lamar Dadd, 27, were arrested and charged with committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Fernandez is a well-known skateboarder with a large following on Twitter and Instagram. He also markets the popular clothing label Honey Brand. Barajas is his manager and Dadd is a fellow professional skater.
Fernandez is accused of using his celebrity status to lure the girl into a car being driven by Barajas on Ventura Boulevard on Nov. 13. Police allege that he promised her fame and even an appearance spot on a nonexistent MTV special in exchange for sex acts.
Four days later, detectives posing as the girl arranged to meet Fernandez and Barajas at an abandoned home allegedly for sex, police said. Both were subsequently arrested during the sting operation. Dadd accompanied by an attorney turned himself into police Dec. 3.
Fernandez was released to his mother and was ordered to wear an ankle tracker pending his court appearance as he is a minor. Cont.
