A Stamford man, Hasani Humphrey, 25, was arrested Friday on a federal criminal complaint charging him with offenses related to engaging in sexual activity with three minors he met online.
As alleged in court documents, between June and November 2025, Humphrey communicated with at least three minor girls (the “minor victims”) on the Wizz app, which advertises itself as a “safe place to express yourself and meet new friends.” Humphrey exchanged sexually explicit messages with the minor victims and arranged and paid for their travel to meet him. Humphrey, who knew the three minor victims were under the age of 18, gave the minor victims alcohol, engaged in sexually explicit activity with them, and recorded the sexual activity on his cellphone.
The complaint charges Humphrey with production of child pornography, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years and a maximum term of imprisonment of life; possession of child pornography, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years; and transportation of a minor to engage in sexual activity, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years a maximum term of imprisonment of life.
Humphrey appeared today before U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Dave Vatti in Bridgeport and was released on a $100,000 bond.
The arrest was announced by David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Jeff Grimming, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), New England.
Sullivan stressed that a criminal complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This investigation is being conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Norwalk Police Department, the Stamford Police Department, the Watertown Police Department, and the Suffolk County (N.Y.) Police Department, with the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Administration New Jersey Field Division. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel P. Gordon.
This prosecution is part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Childhood Initiative, which is aimed at protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.
