Infidelity and jealousy led to a troubling case where a woman sent erotic photos of her partner to another man, a move that was discovered by the man she was involved with and his girlfriend without the consent of those depicted. The authorities in Palma detained a 48 year old woman believed to be connected to the incident. The case, described as a perversion of trust and privacy, involves a 53 year old man who is also identified as a Peruvian national and who is under investigation for his role in the events.
The investigation, led by the Economic Crimes and Technological Crimes Group within the General Directorate of Security, began after the discovery that sensitive private photos were disseminated from Palma without the consent of the individuals photographed. The people involved were not informed about the existence of the material or how it ended up being shared on social networks.
Follow up by National Police investigators confirmed that the material originated from a video call. The complainant had been in a private call with another man, and the other party inadvertently captured images of the partner. The footage came to light when the affected woman learned that it had been recorded during a personal moment and was circulating without her knowledge.
Further inquiries revealed that a woman who was in a relationship with the man who captured the video had accessed his phone and decided to forward the images to another man. This relationship, described as emotional and intimate with the complainant, is understood to have contributed to the alleged crime of discovering and revealing sexual secrets. The act has been framed as a breach of trust and privacy that qualifies as a sexual secrets offense in the local legal framework.
The National Police underscored that gaining access to another person’s mobile device without permission constitutes a crime, as does the discovery and disclosure of intimate material without consent. The dissemination of private images without the person’s consent is equally prosecutable. These points are central to understanding the gravity of the offenses involved in this incident and reflect the enforcement stance on privacy violations in digital spaces.
Once intimate material leaves its private space, it can quickly spiral out of control and spread across networks. The rapid circulation of such images can inflict serious harm on the victim, including reputational damage, social stigma, and emotional distress. The case serves as a stark reminder of the real world consequences that follow digital breaches and the importance of safeguarding personal material.
In similar cases, victims are advised to report the incident promptly to the police or to the Data Protection Authority through the designated Priority Channel on their official website. After a report is filed, steps to remove the content are typically pursued with urgency, with a guaranteed resolution within a defined timeframe, commonly within 72 hours in many jurisdictions.
