A 40-year-old New York man known online as Mr. Immaculate has been indicted after prosecutors say he raped two women he met through the livestreaming app Bigo Live and trafficked one of them.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced the indictment Tuesday, saying Burton met both women through the app before allegedly assaulting them. According to Alvin Bragg
, Burton is accused of raping two women he met on Bigo Live, and of trafficking one of them. The DA's office alleges Burton trafficked one of the women.
How the Alleged Crimes Unfolded
Prosecutors allege Burton met the first survivor on Bigo in November 2025 and raped her in February 2026 when the two met in person at his Manhattan apartment, according to court allegations. A second woman met Burton on the same app, and he allegedly began forcibly trafficking her shortly after they connected in April 2026, per the same court allegations.
The allegations involving the second survivor describe an escalating pattern of control and violence. Court allegations state Burton frequently carried a gun while trafficking her, threatened her with physical violence, and withheld money and food when she failed to meet quotas he set. The allegations further state that Burton raped her while she was sleeping and forced her to have sex after a hospital release, while she was still in pain.
Why Prosecutors Chose These Charges
Burton faces two predatory sexual assault counts. Under New York Penal Law § 130.95, the law addresses predatory sexual assault.
The allegations include sex trafficking. New York Penal Law § 230.34 addresses sex trafficking.
The Prosecutors and Investigators Behind the Case
The case is being prosecuted by Thomas Kendris and Claudia Khoury-Yacoub, under the supervision of Jonathon Junig, Vanessa Puzio, and Justin McNabney, according to the Manhattan DA's office. Bragg credited Ana Diaz, a detective with the NYPD Special Victims Squad, for her work on the investigation. Bragg said the investigation remains ongoing.
The office also provides survivor safety planning, counseling, and other services, and its Human Trafficking Unit can be reached at 212-335-3400.
A Pattern Prosecutors Say They've Seen Before
Bragg said traffickers frequently turn to social media to recruit women, and that livestream apps are no different.
Bigo Live is the app the women allegedly used to meet Burton.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office emphasized that the charges against Burton are allegations only, and that he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
