CA Real Estate Exec Busted In Child Sex Sting: Authorities

A San Francisco real estate executive was one of five men busted in a recent undercover child sex sting, according to authorities.

Reuben Teague, 50, was charged with two felony counts of meeting a minor for lewd purposes, two misdemeanor counts of arranging a meeting with a minor for lewd purposes, and one misdemeanor count of resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer or emergency medical technician, authorities said.

Teague was arraigned Aug. 3 and pleaded not guilty to all counts, according to the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office.

Teague is a former vice president of Prudential Financial and former executive director of PGIM Real Estate, according to his LinkedIn account. He has a law degree from the New York University School of Law and also attended Princeton University. He is the founder of boutique real assets advisory firm Cabin Six Advisors.

Teague, in late July, messaged with undercover officers and used graphic, sexual language indicating his intent to engage in sexual conduct with children, according to the district attorney’s office. He asked for an in-person meeting and went to an address in San Francisco, confirming he was there to see children before walking inside and being arrested by San Francisco sheriff’s deputies, authorities said.

Teague was detained pending trial due to the public safety risk he posed, authorities said, adding the sting was conducted by law enforcement agencies in Northern California and Florida.

The other men charged in the sting include: 27-year-old Jorge Nieto of San Francisco, 43-year-old Michael Pauter of San Mateo, 37-year-old Jhonny Rodriguez Diaz of Redwood City and 32-year-old Romuald Santiago of Daly City, according to the district attorney’s office.
