A man is arrested in Malaga for contacting minors on social networks for sexual purposes

It was during a talk given by the Local Police at a school in Malaga when a teenager put the agents on the trail: a man had contacted his profile through a social network, which he shared with four other friends, asking him for images of sexual character and, even, would have proposed a meeting. They made an appointment, the 33-year-old individual introduced himself, and the minors, between 13 and 14 years old, took the opportunity to record it.

It has been now when the National Police, in collaboration with the Local Police, have arrested him for his alleged involvement in a case of 'child grooming'.

In the investigation, which has been carried out by the Minors Group of the Malaga Provincial Police Station after the adolescent recounted what was happening, it is revealed that the man was aware that on the other side of the screen there was a minor, for which he has been arrested for the alleged commission of a crime of sexual assault on minors under 16 years of age.

The arrested man had a mobile phone seized, which was sent to the Forensic Computer Group of the Málaga Provincial Scientific Police Brigade for the preparation of the pertinent expert report on the content of said terminal, in search of conversations and images related to the investigation. .

Likewise, five victims were identified, between the ages of 13 and 14, who used the same account on a social network. The detainee was placed at the disposal of the Investigating Court number 4 of the Detainee Guard of Malaga.
