Federal prosecutors say a Frederick man has admitted to sexually exploiting a minor after using a fake identity on Instagram.
Twenty-one-year-old Gleybar Ramirez-Clemente pleaded guilty Monday to sexual exploitation of a child. According to court documents, he posed as a 16-year-old named Jefe and contacted a victim who was 15 and 16 at the time. He eventually persuaded the victim to send sexually explicit images, then threatened to expose her to people in the community.
Prosecutors say Ramirez-Clemente continued the threats and coerced the victim into sex acts that he recorded.
The case falls under Project Safe Childhood. He faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in federal prison.
