Two West Central Florida Men Accused in Voyeurism, Extortion Incidents

TAMPA -- Two men are facing charges in separate incidents involving voyeurism and sextortion.

In Tampa, detectives with the Internet Crimes Against Children squad arrested 19-year-old Christopher Patrinostro on charges including extortion. TPD says a 16-year-old girl came forward and reported someone she didn't know sent her nude images of herself and demanded more, threatening to leak them if she didn't. Detectives arrested Patrinostro Wednesday and seized several devices. He's charged with extortion, promotion of a sexual performance by a child, misrepresenting age on a computer, and unlawful use of a two-way communications device.

Meantime, Polk detectives are looking for other potential victims of a man accused of taking pictures of a nude 15-year-old girl without her knowledge, while she was in his bathroom.

Sheriff Grady Judd says 43-year-old Domingo Rivera Velez's wife discovered the photo on his cell phone, and discovered more images of the victim. He says Rivera Velez admitted taking the photos with a digital watch. Detectives discovered more photos taken in other bathrooms, as well as videos shot from floor level of women in skirts and dresses. Those videos were taken at the south Lakeland Home Depot store where Rivera Velez works (or worked). According to the sheriff, the watch was attached to Rivera Velez's foot. Judd is urging anyone who might have encountered Rivera Velez under suspicious circumstances to call the Polk Sheriff's Office.
