Targeting victims with explicit content

Briones-Guevara often sent photos and videos of himself masturbating and requested they sent him back similar videos and photos of themselves, Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw said.

Ten of the young victims he targeted did send him self-produced child sexual abuse material, Bradshaw said.

Investigators believe that there may be additional victims of Briones-Guevara’s activities.

Anyone who believes their child was targeted, online or in-person, is urged to contact the Prosecutor’s Office.

Since his arrest, Briones-Guevara has remained in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly.
