The alleged crimes were discovered when the victim’s boyfriend overheard a lewd conversation between her and Berera, and notified her mother, who then called police, authorities said.

Investigators reportedly reviewed the girl’s phone records and chat logs and found evidence Berera paid her $100 for a sexual encounter, and that she told him he was a minor. They also found messages telling her “that he wanted to see her, indicating his desire to have sexual relations with her again,” a police investigator wrote in court filings.

When Berera was arrested, he reportedly acknowledged knowing the girl but denied knowing she was underage. Police say the two had multiple encounters dating back to last year, including at a hotel in the East Bay. She reportedly knew him as “Jason” but he was saved in her phone as “Foot Freak,” according to authorities.
