    • Yimmy Anthony Pineda Penado, who is also known as Critico and Spike, was arrested on July 31, according to court records. His detention and preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday in federal court in Alexandria.
    • The informant, who has been convicted of sex trafficking children, told police that he worked with Pineda Penado to operate a juvenile prostitution scheme for a few months. Pineda Penado usually stayed with the girls and gave them drugs and alcohol to keep them compliant, the informant said.
    • A juvenile female told law enforcement that Pineda Penado made her have sex for money when she was 15 and 16 years old. Pineda and other MS-13 members sold the girl for sex at hotels in Northern Virginia, and he then took her to an MS-13-controlled house in Maryland.
