>>The mother recovered the girl’s phone and took screenshots of the Snapchat messages, which she turned over to law enforcement, according to court documents. The girl reported she was introduced to Valdez through other children when she was 13 or 14 years old. Federal agents said they believe this was not the first time Valdez exploited the girl, and believe he victimized others.

The FBI has identified at least 11 other victims after reviewing Valdez’ Snapchat communications and use of the Cashapp platform. Under the usernames “NONAME20233132” or “DOCHANK,” the FBI said Valdez exhibited a “compulsive pattern of behavior bombarding children he finds on Snapchat with requests for sexually explicit images and even more concerning, causing and attempting to cause children to engage in commercial sex acts.”

The investigation is ongoing, led by the FBI Anchorage office and the Anchorage Police Department, and the agencies say anyone with additional information can report anonymously to tips.fbi.gov.

Valdez is scheduled to appear in federal court on Feb 23. If convicted, he faces between 15 years to life in prison.
