A Chilean man was sentenced Monday to 11 years behind bars after he tricked a teen girl he met on Roblox into sending him explicit photos — then traveled to California with plans to meet up with the child.
Santiago resident Daniel Andres Aravena Olivia, 22, will spend 135 months in federal prison after he admitted to disgusting interactions with the 14-year-old girl through Roblox and on FaceTime and Zoom, the US Department of Justice announced.
Olivia’s digital reign of terror began in late 2023, when he targeted the young teen on the popular gaming platform Roblox, sending her messages that were “often sexual in nature,” federal prosecutors said.
He eventually tricked the victim into producing explicit photos of herself but the girl’s family found out about the sickening interactions in April 2024, authorities said.
The girl’s parents blocked Olivia and alerted law enforcement but the story didn’t end there, prosecutors said.

In August 2024, the perv allegedly hopped a flight from Santiago to Los Angeles, intent on finally meeting the underage girl for a sex. But federal agents were waiting for him and cuffed him in the airport.
Authorities said they found a digital trail of filth on his iPhone — including 50 images of the victim stashed in his “deleted photos” folder.
Olivia pleaded guilty in March 2025 to one count of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity and one count of possession of child pornography.
The admitted creep was also ordered by US District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald to pay $3,000 in restitution at his court appearance Monday, officials said.
