A Brownsville man is  behind bars after being accused of posing as a porn star on Facebook in order to get nude photos and videos of children he met on-line.

Brownsville police arrested Bryan Villanueva on a laundry list of criminal charges on Tuesday.

Investigators said Villanueva set up a Facebook page where he pretended to be adult porn star “Stoya Doll.”

Police said Villanueva befriended several people on-line, including children.

Villanueva allegedly asked his victims to send nude photos or videos of themselves.

The case came to light when an on-line solicitation of a minor charge was filed back on August 2nd.

An investigation allegedly led detectives to Villanueva and his on-line activities.

Authorities charged Villanueva with two counts of sexual performance of a child, six counts of on-line impersonation and one count of possession of child pornography.

Villanueva remains in custody at the Cameron County Jail but authorities are asking anyone who may have been in contact with his fake Facebook profile to contact police.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Brownsville Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division at (956) 548-7060.
