Luis Parada, of Brentwood, indicted in rape, sex trafficking of teen girl, Suffolk DA says

A 57-year-old Brentwood man has been indicted on sex trafficking, rape and child endangerment charges, law enforcement officials said, alleging he raped a 15-year-old girl, then arranged for her to "have sex with buyers" once she turned 17 while keeping profits from those encounters "for himself."

In a statement on Thursday, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said Luis Parada, also known as Luis Mazariergo, was charged following an investigation that began last month. Then Suffolk County police responded to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip after receiving notification the unnamed victim "had reported being raped and sold for sex" by Parada. The girl met Parada in 2025, when she was 15, and Parada allegedly brought her to his home, where he raped her, officials said.

In May, the 17-year-old victim began staying with Parada at his Brentwood home, authorities said, and Parada "allegedly arranged for the victim to have sex with buyers" for which he collected payment.

Those encounters took place both in Parada’s home and a mobile home parked in Parada’s driveway, the district attorney’s office said.

Authorities said Parada also plied the victim with drugs — including cocaine, marijuana and pills.

A search warrant executed at the home on Oct. 27 resulted in the seizure of 21 electronic devices, as well as bedding, crack pipes, a machete and pellet gun, the district attorney’s office said.

Parada was arrested during the execution of that warrant, and his mobile home was impounded.

On Tuesday, Parada was arraigned before Acting Supreme Court Justice Richard I. Horowitz, charged with sex trafficking of a child, third-degree rape, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Records show Parada entered a plea of not guilty and was ordered held on $1 million partially secured bond, $500,000 bond or $250,000 cash bail. His next court appearance is Dec. 3.

Parada is represented by Legal Aid.

In a statement, Tierney said: "A child cannot consent to sexual activity. 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."
