An aberrant story began to come to an end in recent days in the Buenos Aires courts. Last February, A 67-year-old locksmith was arrested at his home in Parque Chacabuco. The accusation: taking photos of his granddaughter while she was naked, forcing her to pose, with clear sexual connotations. The minor’s own father reported the incident that same month, after finding the images distributed on the internet.
Thus, the man was raided, with a case against him by prosecutor Daniela Dupuy and the Judicial Investigation Corps, with a procedure carried out by the City Police. Three computers, three cameras, a pencil case with pornography DVDs and an external hard drive were seized. On his nightstand he had a loaded .38 revolver, without papers. Among all the devices, at least 300 images of the minor, who is 17 years old today. Prosecutor Dupuy’s investigation discovered that the victim was forced to pose from the age of 14 until months ago.
The photos were analyzed in detail. In one of them a hand was found, which caught the attention of experts. That hand, which was holding a light to illuminate the scene, according to sources of the cause, underwent morphological analysis: It turned out to be the locksmith’s daughter, the mother of the minor.
Last week, that woman was finally arrested by the Buenos Aires force.
Today, both the grandfather and the mother are detained. The man whoHe was charged with the production, possession and publication of images with content of child sexual exploitation, and for possession of a loaded weapon of war without proper authorization, in real competition with corruption of minors, aggravated by the link.
For its part, the mother was charged for being co-author of the production of images with content of child sexual exploitation and facilitating the corruption of minors, with a case under the signature of the Criminal and Contraventional Court No. 3.
The minor has not yet testified in the case being investigated by Prosecutor Dupuy’s Specialized Prosecutor’s Unit for Computer Crimes and Contraventions: He is expected to give his testimony in the context of a Gesell chamber. Meanwhile, she is protected by family members.
“The dissemination of these cases is important. Although it is an aberrant fact and generates a great emotional impact, Statistics show us that during the 3 months after these cases with raids and arrests are made public, online traffic is significantly reduced.according to the measurements of international organizations specialized in the matter,” said the City Attorney General, Juan Bautista Mahiques.
