In Madrid, officials report the detention of a man on serious charges tied to the sexual abuse of two six-year-old nephews and the recording of those acts. Investigators say the crimes were captured on video and came to light during a broader review of suspected exploitative material. A staff member at a second‑hand shop, while processing a routine sale, noticed signs of inappropriate content on a mobile device and referred the matter to police for deeper examination and action.
As part of the same multi‑layered inquiry, a 29-year-old woman was detained. The events are believed to have taken place at a residence in the Latina district of Madrid, with investigators tracing the timeline to January 4. Information has been shared with the National Police as part of ongoing efforts to identify and confront offenses against minors.
The investigation began in November after the mother of the young victims approached a shop to sell a mobile device. In the days that followed, a staff member at the shop began the process to reset the device so it could be sold again. During this procedure, the employee uncovered multiple video clips showing a man in his thirties engaging in sexual acts with children. The discovery prompted a formal report to law enforcement and triggered a swift, coordinated response across agencies.
Specialist teams from the Madrid Judicial Police Brigade Group VIII led the case, coordinating with prosecutors to collect evidence and secure the premises involved. The inquiry led to the arrest of the children’s uncle and a female relative, both identified as Spanish nationals, at a residence in the Latina district. Police noted that the man has been identified as the alleged perpetrator in relation to child sexual abuse and the distribution of child pornography material found on the devices under review.
The detention of the woman is described by police sources as connected to the broader effort to determine whether she aided in concealing the crimes by possessing or forwarding material related to the alleged offenses. Authorities emphasize that the investigation remains active as testimonies are collected and additional digital evidence is examined to map the full scope of the alleged activities and any related offenses. The ongoing commitment to protecting children and pursuing all individuals who may have facilitated exploitation is stressed during the probe (Citation: Madrid Police Department).
