NYC trans and HIV activist arrested for ‘soliciting pedophile hunter posing as a 14-year-old boy’

A prominent New York City transgender and HIV activist was arrested and charged with allegedly provoking a minor on Grindr and asking him to perform oral sex.

Lailani Muniz, 39, was taken into custody after corresponding with a man who worked for the nonprofit NY Creeps Spotlight, posing as a 14-year-old boy named Josh on the LGBTQ dating app. Fox reports.

Muniz, who identifies as female and is HIV positive, works as Chief Operations Officer for the New York Transgender Bodybuilding Federation and was honored at Bronx Borough Hall during Pride Month earlier this year.

NY Creeps SpotlightWorking to expose people targeting children, it posted chats Muniz allegedly had with the man in disguise, who only identified himself as FM.

Reports indicate that Muniz wanted to have sex with the minor, offering weed and ecstasy to “make him feel horny,” and asked him for oral sex even after finding out he was underage.

FM got Muniz to agree to meet him in a video posted to YouTube last Friday where the pedophile hunter confronted Muniz and called the police to arrest her.

According to the indictment, Muniz told the officers who arrested her: “We’ve had a conversation before. It got sexual, it got spicy, and then we stopped talking for a while.

“We got to talking again and I agreed to meet him. He told me to bring condoms.’

According to the chat logs posted by NY Creeps Spotlight, Muniz appeared undaunted to meet the minor after FM posted that he was a 14-year-old boy.

“Yes, I don’t mind,” Muniz is said to have written in response.

The reports also show that she invited him to use drugs with her and others in a jacuzzi.

“It’s fun, we’ll be naked and it’s a nice big room. We can all get in the jacuzzi,” Muniz is said to have written.

“I’ve never pretended to be down,” FM wrote back.

“We’ll have fun and we’ll have weed and maybe some E-pills,” Muniz is said to have replied, referring to ecstasy, promising the minor would feel “great and horny.”

The chat log shows that Muniz agreed to meet “Josh” when his mother was away, but the accused pedophile seemed to have some reservations.

“I can’t go forward, I’m nervous,” Muniz is said to have written. ‘I watch too much TV’ [because] I know you’re young, it reminds me of that show To Catch a Predator where she put on people who were attracted to minors.”

But that’s exactly what happened when Muniz met FM, who confronted her about their chat log while filming their conversation.

“So what are you dating a minor?” FM asks.

When Muniz stumbles to answer, claiming she’s not meeting a minor, the nonprofit worker shoots back.

“I have the chat logs. You’ve been talking to me the whole time.’
