They capture subject with 382 videos of child pornography in Lima and dismantle international network

In February, the U.S. Attorney's Office issued an alert to the Peruvian National Police about the dangerous circulation of 822 video files containing sexual content of minors. The electronic addresses originated from computers and cell phones registered in Lima. This allowed the dismantling of part of a child pornography network and the creation of a subject in San Martín de Porres who had 382 videos on his cell phone containing illicit material.

With the information sent from the US, the High Technology Division of the Dirincri began an intelligence work to identify and locate the person who was distributing illegal material to a network. This is how he came to identify Luis Amaya Díaz, a 33-year-old electrician who did not have a criminal record.

382 VIDEOS ON CELL PHONE

Amaya Díaz was arrested at the door of his work in the district of San Martín de Porres. At the time of his capture, 382 video of child pornography was found on his cell phone.

In his statements to the police, the detainee commented that he was separated three years ago. In addition, he noted that he was previously the carrier of a logistics operator nationwide.

According to the official analysis, revealed by Sunday's Punto Final, in the videos, 43% of the victims would be between 11 and 16 years old, and 55% would be under the age of 10. In addition, they indicated that all the material was distributed through private chats with international contacts.

THIS IS HOW THE NETWORK OPERATES

“Exchanges are not only taking place in Peru, but globally. They meet in forums, in closed WhatsApp groups, where they exchange numerous videos and images of sexual exploitation of minors, where the obligation to stay in these groups is to give new videos or new images,” PNP Colonel Luis Huamán, head of the High Technology Division of the Dirincri.

“The videos were about child sexual abuse, where the naked eye shows the participation of minors aged 9 and 14. (There were on his cell phone) video-sharing conversations with people from abroad, as if it were an exchange of figurines,” he added about what was found to Amaya Díaz.

The electrician is now charged with the crime of child pornography and could have a custodial sentence of not less than 10 years and no more than 15 years. The police analyze the videos to identify the perpetrators and capture them, as well as to recognize the victims and bring them to safety.

EXTORTION OF MINORS

In addition, Colonel Luis Huamán pointed out that many of these videos are obtained when pedophiles pretend to be minors to gain the trust of their victims and request intimate videos.

Once the minor gives in, the person demands more videos, and if the victim does not agree, he initiates the extortion. The pedophile threatens the minor to make public the images already sent so that the boy or girl sends more videos.
