Overview
- Police in Bahía Blanca arrested Cristian Hernán Grimalt Villanueva at his Charlone home in a case initiated by an April 2024 NCMEC alert about illicit videos on Facebook Messenger.
- An August 2024 search at that address recovered a pendrive with 277 prohibited files, and prosecutors will question him on possession and distribution aggravated by victims under 13.
- In a separate Mar del Plata operation, federal agents detained A.C., 35, after investigators documented sharing of abuse material via the KIKI app and later through Instagram.
- A.C. was previously searched in February, and he is now held at the Batán Unit 44 as a notebook, hard drive, pendrive and numerous CDs are examined.
- Investigators in both inquiries cite seized chat logs, including messages allegedly fantasizing about abusing future children, as corroborating evidence under review.
