According to the investigation, the victim met Parada in 2025, when she was 15 years old. Parada brought her to his Brentwood home and raped her, prosecutors said.

Around May 2026, when the girl was 17, she began staying with Parada, who allegedly arranged for her to have sex with buyers and collected the payments directly, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said the incidents occurred inside Parada's home and a mobile home parked in his driveway. Parada also provided the girl with drugs, including cocaine, marijuana and various pills, according to prosecutors.

The investigation began Oct. 11, when Suffolk County police responded to Good Samaritan Hospital after receiving notification that a 17-year-old girl had reported being raped and sold for sex, allegedly by Parada, authorities said.

Parada was arrested Oct. 27 in Brentwood. During a search of his residence, investigators recovered 21 electronic devices, bedding, crack pipes, a machete and a pellet gun, prosecutors said. The mobile home was also impounded.

Parada was arraigned Nov. 10 before Acting Supreme Court Justice Richard Horowitz on charges of second-degree sex trafficking of a child, a class B violent felony; third-degree rape, a class E felony; endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor; and criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor.

Horowitz ordered Parada held on $250,000 cash bail, $500,000 bond or $1 million partially secured bond.

Parada is scheduled to return to court Dec. 3. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the top charge, prosecutors said.

Parada is represented by the Legal Aid Society who could not be immediately reached for comment.

"A child cannot consent to sexual activity," Tierney. "When a young person comes forward, we owe that child a thorough investigation and a prosecution that puts their safety first. Anyone who has information about trafficking, or who needs help, should contact law enforcement. Our office will pursue these cases with the seriousness they deserve."
