Authorities said Isabel Estrin, 24, and Alvaro Jaramillo, 26, first met the teen on Dec. 9 after communicating with her on Instagram beginning in October.
They said the victim was accompanied by another “juvenile female,” whose age wasn’t specified in arrest reports, and authorities accuse Estrin and Jaramillo of “engag(ing) in sexual acts” with them.
Authorities said the couple brought the two girls to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood during the weekend of Dec. 14, where all four engaged in multiple sex acts.
About three days later, Aventura police said the girl “entered into a dating relationship” with Estrin and Jaramillo.
The three spent an evening at Estrin’s parents’ house, where they engaged in more sex acts, police said. According to the couple’s arrest reports, the girl described the encounter as “extremely painful.”
“Over the course of the relationship, there were numerous sexual encounters between all three individuals,” the reports state. “Additionally, the victim was often driven around by Jaramillo and Estrin and brought to several establishments (including), but not limited to, casinos, bars, lounges and clubs.”
Authorities said the relationship ended Feb. 1 after the victim’s mother found out about it.
Aventura police said they took the couple into custody at their unit in the Williams Island 2000 condominium building at 2000 Island Blvd. on Tuesday.
Authorities said afterward, both “corroborated” the aforementioned incidents and made statements that were redacted from the report. Additionally, they said after obtaining consent to search both of their cellphones, they found a video of the teen performing a sex act on Jaramillo saved to his device.
Both Estrin and Jaramillo are facing a charge of unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Jaramillo is additionally facing a child pornography charge as well as a count of interference with custody.
It wasn’t clear as of Wednesday whether the pair would also face charges in Broward County in connection with the Hard Rock allegations.
Local 10 News contacted a spokesperson for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, whose police department investigates crimes at the resort complex, seeking additional information Wednesday afternoon.
A tribal spokesperson would not confirm whether the Seminole Police Department is investigating the pair, deferring inquiries to Aventura police.
As of Wednesday, both Estrin and Jaramillo were being held in Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Estrin’s bond was set at $7,500 while Jaramillo’s was set at $17,500.
According to jail and Florida Department of Corrections records, Jaramillo was in the middle of serving a decade-long probation sentence at the time of his arrest for exploiting another vulnerable group: the elderly.
Those records show he was convicted of nearly a dozen theft, fraud and money laundering charges stemming from cases in 2020 and 2021 after Miami-Dade prosecutors said he took part in a “grandparent scam,” in which several seniors, aged 71 to 88, were bilked out of more than $480,000.
On top of that, the Colombian national is also subject to an immigration hold.
