Seeking Victim Information in the Hugo Iram Cardona Jr. Investigation
The FBI’s El Paso Division is seeking to identify potential victims of Hugo Iram Cardona Jr., who recently plead guilty with cyberstalking in the U.S District Court in the Western District of Texas. The FBI believes he primarily targeted young women between the timeframe of August 15, 2020 through June 1, 2023.
The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) revealed at least 15 victims located in El Paso, Colorado, and Arizona. The investigation determined the victims were initially contacted by Cardona from Instagram accounts “idkprii85,” “designoiram,” “juniorrriram,” “urfavpapi,” “urdvddyjunie” and “juniorrhernandez” as well as Snapchat accounts “juniepri,” “asap_juniorrr” and “juniorrriram.” Victims were also contacted from multiple TextNow numbers. The Instagram accounts, Snapchat accounts and TextNow numbers were all determined to be registered to Cardona.
If you and/or your minor dependent(s) were victimized by Cardona Jr. or any of the above-listed usernames or while using Snapchat, Instagram, or TextNow between 2020 and 2023, or have information relevant to this investigation, please fill out this short form.

The FBI is legally mandated to identify victims of federal crimes it investigates. Victims may be eligible for certain services, restitution, and rights under federal and/or state law.
