What they're saying:

"Much like anybody would create a social media profile for themselves, he used some identifiers of the victim in order to craft these social media profiles," said Lieutenant Jeff Lee with the Precinct 4 Constable Criminal Investigations Division.

Investigators say Vargas shared intimate photos and videos of his ex without her consent.

"Friends and family observed those profiles and actually thought the victim made them, hence makes the online impersonation charge," Lee said. "By the time you hit send, it's too late. Once you send it out there, it ain't coming back."

Vargas is free from jail on a $30,000 bond.
