BUFFALO, N.Y. – In a shocking revelation, 20-year-old Lily A. Brandow of Falconer, New York has been arrested and charged with conspiracy to produce child pornography, conspiracy to commit witness tampering, distribution of child pornography, and destruction of records.
According to the complaint, in June 2021, Brandow sold a video to a Snapchat user for $20 showing her, her ‘man’ and a third person engaging in sexual relations. The third individual in the video was later identified by investigators as a 16-year-old girl.
Brandow’s ‘man’ is co-defendant Yusef Myrick, who was arrested and charged by complaint in December 2021 with production, receipt, and distribution of child pornography. The complaint further states that Brandow took steps to delete Myrick’s email and social media accounts at Myrick’s instruction.
Additionally, Brandow facilitated a three-way call between herself, Myrick and a victim. During the call, Myrick threatened the victim not to speak to investigators.
Myrick is accused of engaging in both online and sexual relationships with numerous minor females. When the relationships ended, Myrick cyberstalked, harassed, and threatened the minor females and their families with both physical and psychological harm.
