Florida Man Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Sex Trafficking

A Homestead, Florida man was sentenced to 36 months in prison for surreptitiously producing and distributing pornographic audio and video recordings of himself engaging in sexual activity with multiple men.

Bryan Deneumostier, 34, a national of Peru, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonga of the Southern District of Florida. Deneumostier was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.

According to admissions made in connection with his plea and evidence presented at the sentencing hearing, Deneumostier assisted in the operation of a subscription-based pornography website called "straightboyz.net." The site offered for streaming approximately 619 "hook up" videos that depicted sexual activity between Deneumostier and other men.

The defendant had surreptitiously made audio and video recordings of the sexual encounters, without the victims’ knowledge or consent. In many of the videos, the individuals, at Deneumostier’s direction, wore a blindfold and restraints and could not see the defendant or the room (or recording equipment) in which they were located.

Deneumostier later sold the "hook up" videos to a third party located overseas and caused them to be posted onto the website. In many cases, in order to find men for his surreptitious recordings, Deneumostier would use social media accounts or Craigslist to post that he would be hosting sexual parties or encounters at his residence.

The investigation was conducted by HSI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Cary Aronovitz of the Southern District of Florida and Senior Trial Attorney Mona Sedky of the Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section prosecuted the case.
