The parking valet accused of luring away the teenage child of Slack’s billionaire co-founder is now being charged with having sex with the minor — who he was allegedly “quasi dating” despite being ten years her senior, cops said.
Christopher “Kio” Dizefalo, 26, who parks cars for a living in San Francisco, was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, along with contributing to the delinquency of a minor in relation to the runaway case of 16-year-old Mint Butterfield, according to Marin County booking records.
He was also charged with one count of child stealing — a felony different from kidnapping used when a victim leaves home willingly but is enticed or coerced by a nefarious actor intending to conceal them from legal guardians.
Dizefalo is accused of influencing and sexually assaulting Mint, whose father Stewart Butterfield co-founded the workplace messaging application Slack, and whose mother is Caterina Fake, co-founder of the photo-sharing app Flickr.
Together the parents are worth billions.
Mint, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, “willingly” left their home sometime around April 21, police said, and was deemed “at risk” over previous suicide threats.
They reportedly left a note behind for their parents indicating an intent to run away, and their mother reported the teen missing the following morning.
After missing posters were distributed across San Francisco, the teen was found safe nearly a week later on Saturday night, alongside Dizefalo in his van which was parked in the city’s notoriously sketchy Tenderloin District.
Dizefalo and the teen allegedly “had some sort of a quasi-dating relationship,” the Marin County Sheriff’s Office told The Post but could not provide further details about the relationship.
The arrest was the first time Dizefalo had been booked in Marin County, according to police.
He is being held on $50,000 bail and is due in court Tuesday morning for arraignment.
