Overview
- The federal case charges aggravated human trafficking for sexual exploitation and possession of child sexual abuse material after three students were lured to San Salvador de Jujuy.
- Investigators say the suspect used AI tools, including ChatGPT, plus forged websites, flyers and documents to fabricate a scholarship program tied to a fictitious student organization.
- A hidden camera embedded in a bathroom clock was discovered by the victims, and police later recovered the device after the suspect allegedly tried to throw it from a patrol car.
- Preliminary analysis found 15 videos and 68 photos of the three victims on the camera and other devices, along with additional child sexual abuse material linked to possible other victims.
- Judge Eduardo Hansen granted the preventive detention requested by federal prosecutor Federico Zurueta, citing the suspect’s technical skills, the attempted destruction of evidence, and risks to the investigation.
