Agents of the National Police and the Mossos d'Esquadra, in a joint operation, have arrested a man in Alcalá de Henares as the alleged perpetrator of crimes of sexual harassment of minors through chats of online games and child pornography.

The arrested man, who has entered prison after going to court, used said chats to contact minors and, after gaining his trust, asked for photographs of sexual content with the excuse of the bad results obtained in a game.

After that, it forced them to generate more videos under the threat of spreading them.

The investigation began in June 2018, following the complaint filed by a minor under 13 years before the Mossos d'Esquadra of the Barcelona town of Terrassa.

The minor reported that, long ago, a user of an online game from a video game platform had contacted him. After gaining his trust, and thanks to his power of persuasion, this stranger managed to provide the child with the access codes to the accounts of the social networks in which he was discharged.

The level of control over the child was gradually increasing until the day arrived requiring him to install a remote control program on his computer.

Subsequently, and with the excuse of the bad results that the minor had achieved in one of the games of the video game, he demanded that he send him a first photograph with high sexual content.

Once achieved, and under the threat of spreading it to all his friends through social networks, he was forced to generate videos with explicit sexual content this time.

This situation caused the stalker to have absolute control of the victim, forcing him under threats to be connected most of the time, limiting the people with whom he could contact.

When the situation became unsustainable the child decided to explain it to his parents and report the facts.

During the investigation, the agents learned that there could be another minor in Toledo who could be a victim of the same stalker.

Therefore, both bodies began the efforts to identify this new victim. After locating it, it was determined that although he had maintained virtually contact with the stalker, he had not succumbed to his claims.

In the course of the investigation, and thanks to the result of the analysis of the record of activities carried out by the units specialized in telematic crimes, it was found that the person who was behind the profile of the stalker was in the town of Alcala de Henares

There were great difficulties in identifying him, since he adopted multiple security measures to hide his identity, such as connecting and hacking wireless networks of his neighbors or other users.

From then on the operation was carried out jointly between both bodies, managing to identify and fully locate the stalker.

Finally, and after judicial authorization, the entry and registration of the residence of the prisoner and his arrest were carried out.

In the house several electronic devices were intervened - six hard drives, three mobile phones, and a memory card - which, after a first analysis, has confirmed the existence of a large number of files with child sexual content, among which I found those of the complainant.

The investigation remains open in order to determine if other minors have been victims and if other adults have collaborated or shared material with the detainee.
