Long Island man arrested for alleged rapes of 2 14-year-old girls he talked to on Snapchat

Описание: A Long Island man is accused of raping two 14-year-old girls that authorities say he talked to using the social media platform Snapchat, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office announced on Wednesday.

Kemuel St. Juste, 26, was arraigned last week on an indictment charging him with three counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and endangering the welfare of a child.

He allegedly talked to the children on Snapchat using the handle "k3mmyy." According to the investigation, St. Juste allegedly "quick-added" one of the teen girls via his profile in December 2024, and within the month met the child at TJ Maxx in South Setauket, where he is accused of raping her in the bathroom. Prosecutors allege that St. Juste raped her again the following month in the back of his car.

On a different occasion in January 2025, officials said that the girl went to St. Juste asking for a pregnancy test, at which point he allegedly tried to get her to perform oral sex on him. The child soon alerted her mother of their relationship when she believed she had become pregnant, and they reported it to the police, prosecutors said.

In June 2025, St. Juste allegedly met a different 14-year-old girl at Smiths Point Beach and asked her to add him on Snapchat using the same handle. Later that month, he allegedly drove her to a parking lot in Port Jefferson and raped her, all while knowing she was only a sophomore in high school, according to prosecutors.

Upon the second survivor's report in January 2026, police connected the Snapchat handle to the first case, identified St. Juste as a suspect and arrested him. He is being held on $750,000 cash or $3 million bond bail and is due back in court on March 25.
