MIAMI -- Authorities say a man who listed his occupation as "sinner" on a networking website called VampireFreaks.com lured teens, one from Palm Beach County, to his Surfside apartment for sex.
The Miami Herald reports that last October, 30-year-old Nelson Carrizo pleaded guilty to child porn charges for luring one teen.
The judge and lawyers agreed he could wait until after the holidays to surrender for his three-year prison term. He began his sentence Jan. 9.
That's when another story began to unravel. Another teen, from Palm Beach County, told police she met Carrizo on the vampire website in December and he urged her to come to Miami for sex in January.
According to the report , Palm Beach County deputies found the 16-year-old girl in a local gym trying to slash her wrists with her own fingernails.
Deputies committed her to a hospital for a psychological evaluation, according to the report , and investigators soon learned that her parents had found explicit text messages and photos on her phone.
Carrizo now faces two counts of sex with a minor and prosecutors want the judge to increase his original prison sentence to 50 years.
