Six Children Arrested For Distributing Pornography
The Spanish National Police arrested six minors for offences relating to the production and distribution of a sexually explicit video starring two girls, one described as being a “very young” girl.
After recording the video, it was sent him through an instant messaging application for smartphones to a friend, also a minor, who in turn shared it among their contacts. As well as through smartphones, the video was quickly shared by thousands of Internet users in the network, including via YouTube, but prompt action managed to control the spread.
A number of concerned members of the public reported their suspicions to the police, whilst officers also received reports through their Twitter account, @policia, warning of the possible circulation of a video containing a young girl.
The National Police sent messages immediately through their own social network sites, warning potential distributors that they would be guilty of a criminal offence if they forwarded any type of video and image of this type. The officers also contacted the technical specialists who managed to enforce a controlled stop through the computer system.
In a statement, the National Police have issued a reminder that producing, selling, distributing, displaying, offering, possessing or providing, by any means, pornographic material involving minors is a crime.
They have also provided an email address where such videos and images, as well as reports and suspicions, can be sent, which is denuncias.pornografía.infantil@policia.es.
