Overview

• Agents arrested the suspect in A Coruña as part of Operation Rocki II following a probe that began in February 2023 after a minor’s complaint.
• Searches of the home yielded numerous phones, computers and mass-storage devices, and an initial review found a large cache of sexual images and videos.
• The investigated pattern included sending an initial nude, using psychological manipulation to solicit a return image, and escalating to threats and blackmail.
• Investigators say the suspect created new social media profiles to impersonate others, recontact victims and renew extortion, and pushed a bogus image-rights agreement to claim immunity.
• The EMUME unit of the Guardia Civil is leading the case under the direction of the Juzgados de Betanzos and the Fiscalía, with 24 victims identified nationwide and further analysis ongoing.
