Brendan Sullivan, 20, of Bohemia, had sexual contact with the two girls on separate occasions in March and August, Suffolk County Police said.
Sullivan used Snapchat to meet his victims, according to police.
Sullivan had been arrested in May on charges related to child pornography.
A follow-up investigation of that case by Computer Crimes Unit, Sixth Squad and Seventh Squad detectives determined Sullivan had inappropriate contact with two females.
Sullivan was arrested today in a parking lot on Medford Avenue in Patchogue at approximately 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22.
He was charged with:
- two counts of second-degree rape,
- three counts of endangering the welfare of a child,
- first-degree criminal contempt for violating an order of protection that he received during the May arrest for endangering the welfare of a child for providing a vape to one of the victims in this case.
Sullivan is being held overnight at the Sixth Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, Oct. 23 at First District Court in Central Islip.
The investigation is continuing.
Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the Computer Crimes Unit at 631-852-6279 or call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
