Law Enforcement is Seeking Help Identifying Potential Victims of CEO Charged with Sexual Assault and Child Pornography.

January 23, 2015 – The Orange County District Attorney's Office issued a press release today seeking the help of the public in identifying any minors who were victims of Qayed Murtaza Shareef, the CEO of a publicly traded company based in Irvine. Today Shareef was charged with the following:

  • 30 felony counts of lewd acts with a child under 14
  • 1 felony count of using a minor for sex acts
  • 1 felony count of distributing pornography to a minor
  • 1 felony count of possession or control of child pornography

Shareef also faces sentencing enhancement for substantial sexual conduct with a child under 14 years old and committing lewd acts upon multiple victims. His bail is set at $2 million and arraignment is scheduled for this afternoon at Central Jail in Santa Ana, CA.

Shareef is accused of using the online app Tango to contact a 10-year-old male victim and a 9-year-old male victim; both victims reside in Virginia. Shareef set up the Tango account under the fake name Jeremy Stevens.
