The National Police have arrested a minor and are continuing a careful investigation into the dissemination of sexual images involving two young people through social networks. The inquiry is being conducted by the Technological Crimes group within the police force. A complaint from a minor reached authorities a few days ago after a friend told him about a video circulating on social media that showed a girl in a sexual act with her boyfriend. The incident underscores the growing challenges faced by law enforcement when intimate content is shared without consent and subsequently spread online. The case is being treated with seriousness and sensitivity given the involvement of minors and the potential for lasting harm to the victims. Police notes indicate that this material originated from a private gathering and was recorded without the knowledge or consent of one of the participants. The footage was captured discreetly, inside a private residence where a couple were intimate during a gathering of friends.
During the event, a boy used a voice recorder to capture audio through a bedroom door, an action later revealed to have compounded the breach of privacy. After the recording appeared on the networks, the girl began to receive mocking calls, exacerbating the emotional impact of the incident. The police began a thorough fact-finding process, collecting statements from numerous witnesses, all of whom were underage. Witnesses were aware of who had created the recording, and many recalled that the footage was initially confiscated by friends who urged its deletion. Despite those warnings, the video was not only kept but also shared across a messaging platform that allows the video to be viewed only once, increasing the sense of violation and complicating the evidence trail.
In the days that followed, investigators identified the principal suspect and took him into custody. He faces formal charges related to the discovery and disclosure of private information, with authorities coordinating a detailed review of electronic communications and device data. The case is being handled with care to ensure the safety and rights of the minor victims are respected, and the legal process is being followed through the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office. Law enforcement officials assessed digital evidence from the suspect’s mobile phone as a central element in establishing a timeline and proving the sequence of events that led to the dissemination of the recording. The authorities emphasize that privacy protections for minors are paramount and that all actions taken aim to prevent future harm and to uphold the integrity of the investigative process.
As the investigation proceeds, the victim receives ongoing support from family members who have joined the effort to cooperate with authorities. Public authorities reiterate their commitment to safeguarding young people from online exploitation and to ensuring that this type of incident is handled with the utmost seriousness. The case has drawn attention to the emotional and psychological effects of online harassment and the lasting impact that non-consensual sharing of intimate material can have on victims. Community resources and counseling services are being made available to assist the affected family as the legal proceedings continue and the police continue to gather evidence and pursue appropriate remedies. The incident also serves as a reminder of the importance of digital literacy, privacy safeguards, and the responsible use of technology among teens and adults alike, with ongoing outreach aimed at preventing similar occurrences in the future [citation: National Police, 2025].
