Muscle guy in sex plot with kids, say feds
A SICKO Queens bodybuilder preyed on three women to get them to prey on children, authorities say.
The feds arrested Keith Liwanag, 26, Thursday on allegations he got women in the Philippines to perform sex acts on kids as young as 6. On one occasion, Liwanag (photo) allegedly approached a young mother and said he was a researcher working on “an experiment” about maternal affection. The LeFrak City resident told the women he’d pay for his pervy requests, Brooklyn federal prosecutors said. The three women allegedly sent him kiddie porn through Facebook’s private messaging service.
Prosecutors say they’ve got 10 recorded video conferences between Liwanag and women streaming the sex abuse. Court papers say Liwanag wired more than $1,000 to the Philippines between March 2015 and October 2017.
Liwanag has posted photos of himself preening and pumping iron on his Twitter account.
He’s charged with conspiracy to produce child pornography and was arraigned in Brooklyn Federal Court and remanded. If convicted, Liwanag faces at least 15 to 30 years in prison. Acting Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Bridget Rohde said Liwanag “victimized vulnerable children abroad by soliciting photographs and videos of their sexual abuse in exchange for money.” A MAN ACCUSED of groping a boy during his sixth birthday party tried to escape a Queens apartment by going out the window — but instead plunged four stories to his death.
A drunken Edgar Collaguazo, 44, made his doomed dash about 1:05 a.m. Thursday after furious parents called police and locked him in a bedroom of the Jackson Heights apartment, sources said.
“If he didn’t have a filthy mind, (he’d) simply stay and face the situation,” the mother of the molested boy told the Daily News.
Collaguazo’s death capped what began as a joyous celebration at his apartment on 95th St. near 35th Ave. in Jackson Heights. The boy lived with his parents in a rented room inside Collaguazo’s place.
The party was in full swing when Collaguazo returned home sometime Wednesday evening, the boy’s mother said.
