A federal criminal complaint states that customs officers and Homeland Security Investigations agents found illicit videos on cellphones belonging to Krisztian Kovacs, 45, of Delray Beach, after he arrived Saturday on a JetBlue flight from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n
Authorities said after referring Kovacs for secondary inspection, they first found that he had a Ziploc bag with 236 pills labeled \u201cMambo 36\u2033 that they said were the erectile dysfunction medication tadalafil \u2015 the generic name of the brand-name drug Cialis.<\/p>\n
A search of two cellphones revealed child sexual abuse material, according to the complaint, including \u201cof photos of naked, underage girls\u201d as well as videos of Kovacs \u201cengaging in sexual activities with minor females.\u201d<\/p>\n
Agents said travel records showed that Kovacs made \u201cfrequent trips to Colombia and the Dominican Republic during 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
Videos and chat messages found on both devices showed Kovacs engaging in child sex tourism in Colombia, according to the complaint, including one message in which Kovacs \u201cbragged about having sex with a 16-year-old girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA few days ago I was having sex with a young 16-year-old girl,\u201d agents said he told a woman named \u201cAndrea\u201d on WhatsApp. \u201cI recorded a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the complaint, a screenshot showed Kovacs messaging someone, \u201cWe\u2019ll see each other soon\u201d and asking, \u201cAre you turning 17 this year?\u201d<\/p>\n
Agents said they believe Kovacs met up with the person and said they found screenshots of a nude teenage girl afterwards. They said they also found payments to who they believed to be the girl.<\/p>\n
Authorities said in a third WhatsApp chat from Dec. 18, 2025, Kovacs tells a woman he just got back from Colombia. According to the complaint, when she asked him whether \u201che had sex with \u2018little locals\u2019,\u201d he responded \u201cwith young people of (sic) 16, 17 and 18\u2033 and said \u201cI filmed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authorities said Kovacs declined to speak with agents. He now faces federal charges related to the transportation and possession of child sexual abuse material.<\/p>\n
Records show he was scheduled to make an initial appearance in Fort Lauderdale federal court on Monday morning. He was being held in a Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office jail facility on behalf of the U.S. Marshals Service.<\/p>\n
