MIAMI, Fla. — A former aide to the mayor of Miami who was previously charged in state court with groping a teenage boy at City Hall and then sending him a lewd photograph is now facing federal child porn charges.
The U.S. attorney's office in Miami filed a criminal complaint Wednesday against 48-year-old Rene Pedrosa, who resigned from the mayor's office last month.
The federal complaint says Pedrosa contacted the 16-year-old victim in November through Instagram to discuss a web design job at the mayor's office.
During a meeting later that month at City Hall, Pedrosa touched the teen inappropriately.
The complaint says Pedrosa and teen later exchanged explicit photos.
