Man arrested in Tenerife for making teenage girls undress in video calls
The Guardia Civil has detained a man in Tenerife and investigated three others for sexual abuse of minors, within the framework of 'Operation Predator'. The investigation began after receiving complaints from several young girls under the age of 16, who are residents of Malaga, Seville and Barcelona, who stated that they were receiving coercion and threats through social media in which a person asked them for photographs and videos of sexual content.
The man contacted the teenagers and made them believe that they had hacked their mobile phones and that they had access to all their content, threatening them that they would disseminate their photographs or send them to their families if they did not agree to make video calls with the detainee, during which they had to undress.
The agents realised that the four defendants maintained a working relationship between them and that they also engaged in sports bets through different platforms on the Internet, for which they acquired numerous prepaid SIM cards to be able to link them to the different user accounts of the virtual betting platforms.
Once the telephone cards were acquired, they were handed over and guarded by the detainee, who used them to abuse the teenage girls, being aware that they were registered in other people’s names.
Agents belonging to the Guardia Civil in Marbella have participated in this operation with the support of the Tenerife Guardia Civil and the Barcelona Police Department.
