The

National Police

has arrested in

Reus (Tarragona)

an alleged sexual offender who had in his possession 13,865 files of sexual content and extorted at least 115 victims -some of them minors- after maintaining contact with more than 500 people.

According to a statement on Friday, the agents found 2,412 pornographic videos -some of them with underage women-, 11,275 photographs and 178 sexual videos that included children in the search of his home.

To get the content, the man allegedly

contacted the victims posing as another person

and obtained intimate recordings that he later threatened to share with those close to them to demand more material.

The police launched the investigation into the complaint of a minor girl residing in

Portugal

and, upon identifying the victims, located five of them in Spanish municipalities and the rest, mostly in

Latin America

.

They charge him with the crimes of corruption of minors, sexual assault, coercion, discovery and disclosure of secrets, and police sources have informed Europa Press that they already arrested the man in 2018 for crimes of the same nature.
