Pressure, deception, threats and even false promises. For Chato, a hospital worker in Huelva, everything was worth it to achieve his goal: Candid photos and videos of girls from 7 to 16 years old People I communicate with on Instagram. Of the more than 300 people he spoke to, he offered to be her boyfriend to some or assured them that he was 11; He told the others that if they did what he wanted, he would introduce them to his family. influencers He threatened those who did not comply with “killing their families” or publishing things they had previously sent him.
Now and after harassing and storing sexual or intimate content of at least 96 minors social networks, Malaga County Court sentenced him to three years in prison for repeatedly possessing and producing child pornography. A sentence commuted due to repair of damage and psychic abnormality.
He also has a restraining order against minors and “sexual education course with impulse control” is just one of the fake names he hides behind as he calls himself Flequi, Rana, Zapatones or Casposo.
According to the story in the sentence, which was accessed by El Periódico de España from the Prensa Ibérica group, the girls were “persuaded by pressure or deception, sending photos and making video calls, which were also recorded” and kept. in the mobile phone he keeps at home. In fact, when the police intercepted his daily use device, they found nothing, and it took more than a year for the Security Guard to find the pornographic material after his home was searched.
Approximately twenty minors identified by their parents
sentence Provincial Court He explains that it is possible to identify “minors with 311 different profiles” from the images found on the mobile phone, and that “96 of them have sexual content, some have photos that show only nude or private parts, and some have photos that are touching or show their private areas.” introducing objects”.
Among the cases included in the decision, the mother of a girl aged 9-10 declared that she recognized “photos of her daughter and her home” and explained this as follows: “After many threats, she sent a photo showing only her pajamas and panties.“… Chato would threaten the minor that he would “kill his family if he didn’t send him more orders.”
The first evidence of chato activity emerged on May 25, 2018, when a mother reported to the Civil Guard that a man had contacted her 9-year-old daughter, told her he wanted to be her boyfriend, and asked her for photos of his girlfriend. With his naked body, he was able to continue harassing and recording minors at least until his home was broken into and searched on November 13, 2019. Then another year passed after child pornography was discovered.
Intellectual disability as a mitigating factor
After his devices and various computer materials were initially confiscated, Chato was temporarily released and only arrested more than a year later at the Huelva hospital where he worked.
The sentence imposed by the Malaga Provincial Court was commuted on the grounds that “the defendant has a recognized degree of disability of 36% and a degree of activity limitation of 29%, with borderline intelligence.”
In fact, after the agreement is reached, he will most likely not even go to prison and will be on probation for three years, during which he will not be able to work with minors. In addition, Chato must pay compensation of 1,500 euros to six of the complainants; this is a total of 9,000 euros that he would have already paid, which would also serve to mitigate the sentence.
