PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. — A Pembroke Pines man is facing multiple federal charges after FBI agents said he solicited explicit videos from multiple girls online and distributed child sexual abuse videos.
Court documents state that Daniel Lozano, 33, was arrested following an FBI raid on Wednesday.
According to a federal criminal complaint, the investigation into Lozano began in 2025 after law enforcement learned that he had been in an “online relationship” with a teenage girl beginning in 2022 when she was 16.
Investigators said she told Lozano she was 18, but “continued to tell (him) she was in high school for most of their relationship, which lasted for approximately (three) years.”
Authorities said he paid her $1,000 during the course of the relationship and received explicit photos and videos from her and recorded them.
According to the complaint, in May 2025, a federal judge authorized a search warrant for Lozano’s Snapchat account, which revealed “multiple conversations containing images and videos which depicted child pornography, child erotica and age difficult sexually explicit videos and images.”
Of the 30 accounts agents identified, six had explicit images of children or “child erotica” and “had an exchange of goods for the images or videos and were minors at the time of the chats,” they said. Lozano additionally sent child sexual abuse material to another account, according to the complaint.
At least one of the six girls identified in the complaint told Lozano she was 16, after which he “told her to reply” by saying she was 18, authorities said.
Authorities said he would send money and goods in exchange for explicit content.
Authorities said they executed a search warrant at Lozano’s apartment in the 7900 block of Pasadena Boulevard on Tuesday.
They said a preliminary search of his electronic devices showed that he was distributing child sexual abuse videos online, including those depicting “prepubescent” girls.
Lozano now faces three charges related to the possession, distribution and production of child sexual abuse material, as well as a charge of coercion and enticement.
Records show he was scheduled to appear in Fort Lauderdale federal court on Thursday morning.
