Bornelus said he and the victim met and communicated on Instagram.

After searching Bornelus’ phone, officers discovered multiple videos of Bornelus and the victim having intercourse, with the most recent video having a location stamp near the Naples Pier.

The victim confirmed to investigators that the pair met on Instagram over a year and a half ago but only met in person recently.

The victim also confirmed that she and Bornelus had sex multiple times, and she told Bornelus she was underage.

People we spoke with at the pier were horrified to learn what had taken place there.

“It’s very sad, and it’s a shame that somebody at that age is exposed to some situation like this,” said Teresa Hein a Fort Myers snowbird.

“That’s scary. Gross, definitely gross. And you know, there’s little kids here, just like I brought my little kids, and if they were to see that, that would be awful,” said Wisconsin visitor Emily Kennedy-Hettwer.

“He’s going to need therapy or something, I’m sure,” said Ohio visitor Debbie Gerold.

For parents and grandparents of children who use Instagram, they say this is a fear realized.

“They’re never going to be able to fix that…Social media,” said Ohio visitor Julie Hamilton.

“The man’s a rapist and a predator. He belongs in jail for the rest of his life,” said visitor Ann Bur.

Bornelus is charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a victim older than 12 and less than 16 years old, and four counts of cruelty towards a child to direct or promote the sexual performance of a child.
