David Ajiri surrendered to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on March 9, 2026, following an arrest warrant issued by the Arvada Police Department in Colorado, with assistance from Bensalem Township Police.
According to the Bensalem police, Ajiri is accused of targeting women and girls as young as 14 across the United States since at least 2018. Investigators say he used dating apps, friendship apps and social media to contact victims, allegedly convincing them to send intimate images or videos with promises of payment that were never fulfilled.
When confronted, Ajiri reportedly threatened to share the content with friends, family or social media contacts unless victims continued providing explicit material, money or both. Some were allegedly sent detailed lists of content to submit, and investigators believe some material may have been sold online.
Multiple aliases and accounts
Ajiri is also reported to have used multiple aliases, including Brandon Cress, David E. Cristian Ortiz and Dylan Michaels.
Investigators have identified several accounts they believe were associated with him, including Instagram handles @brandoncress87, @crort786 and @mikegreen876, and Snapchat accounts @kenslove3 and @dajiri8535.
The Bensalem Township Police Department confirmed that one victim has been identified so far but say the investigation is ongoing.
