FBI says there were 13 identifiable victims across multiple states
NORFOLK, Va. — The FBI is speaking exclusively to the WTKR News 3 Investigative Team about a child sex crime case that spanned from Virginia to New York to Alaska, resulting in a 40-year prison sentence for a Navy sailor.
Andrew Fernandez, 33, a married U.S. Navy Machinist’s Mate of Virginia Beach, contacted one of the victims by private message on TikTok and later continued to engage with her by text messages, according to prosecutors.
The victim told Fernandez that she was 10 years old and Fernandez told her that he was under 13 years old, that his name was Levi, and that he previously attended her school before he moved to another state. The victims ranged in ages but one girl was 9 years old.
They said the conversations quickly turned sexual, with Fernandez sending graphic images of himself and requesting pictures from the victims.
An FBI agent assumed the victim’s identity and continued to engage with Fernandez, who continued to send sexually explicit images, which he directed the victim to delete, according to prosecutors.
Fernandez attempted to persuade a victim to produce child sexual abuse material depicting herself by telling her that the images would lead to a lucrative modeling audition.
The FBI says there were 13 identifiable victims across multiple states, with the crimes dating back to 2023.

It doesn’t say if the bus driver was driving a school bus or municipal bus, but I’d guess it was a school bus.
pedo Joe Xidementia had a Norfolk cutout ?
If he was active duty at the time he should have been court martialed. Forty years at hard labor...Leavenworth.

Sounds more like a jarhead
Not to take away from the perv’s guilt but what kind of parent allows a 10 year old child to have a TikTok account let alone one with PM capability.
I bet Mrs. Fernandez is relieved at the 40 year sentence. Probably the only thing good going through her mind right now. Prayers for her.
FBI “under new management”.
305,000 missing Illegal minors lately described as underestimated by a huge factor.
