However, investigators have revealed that the girl was actually 11 years old when they first met online and 12 years old now. Their sexual encounters reportedly began in May 2024.   

Police were able to identify Cornelio through a search warrant of his Facebook account, which revealed his phone number and name.

Interestingly, Cornelio had a previous run-in with law enforcement in March when he was pulled over for a window tint violation and found to be driving without a license.

During questioning by detectives, police say Cornelio admitted to the sexual encounters, claiming he believed the girl was 14 at the time.   

Cornelio is currently being held in the Downtown Detention Center with a $75,000 bond.
