Arrested for extorting his brother and sister-in-law with their sexual images

The judge has ordered freedom with charges for a 24-year-old man accused of the alleged crimes of discovery and disclosure of secrets for extorting his brother and sister-in-law in exchange for not disseminating intimate images that he had obtained illegally.

The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested him on Thursday during an entry and search at his home after he had demanded money from his relatives in exchange for not publishing the images. The arrested man had already been denounced for similar events in 2018.

On March 24, the victim received an email in English from an anonymous profile that demanded an amount in exchange for preventing the dissemination of sexual content to family and friends through social networks, but blocked the message without entering the link that was sent to you.

After a few days, he received a friend request on a platform with a message that linked a file with his ID number. Inside it were sexual and erotic images of her and her partner, some of them recorded when the victim was a minor.

The investigation determined that the person who had obtained the images, which a priori only the victim and her partner had, was her brother, who had used a nickname similar to the one he had in various online games.

Another indication that pointed to his alleged authorship was the bad relationship he had with his brother, whose mobile phone he had taken, taking advantage of the fact that neither he nor his partner were in front of him and he would have accessed with the access codes he had obtained when the relationship between both was good.
