Oaxaca Authorities Dismantle Child Pornography Distribution Hub

Forensic analysis recovered tens of thousands of child abuse files during a probe now coordinated with Interpol.

Overview

  • A raid on a home in Oaxaca de Juárez uncovered a digital center that distributed child sexual abuse material via Telegram and WhatsApp.
  • One man identified as L. A.F. V. was arrested, formally bound over for trial by a specialized judge, and remains in pretrial detention at Tanivet prison.
  • Investigators seized high-end desktop computers, seven laptops, 11 smartphones and a tablet, along with large data caches including roughly 50,000 images, 18,000 audio files and about 2,700 to 3,000 videos.
  • Authorities say chat logs show threats, coercion and extortion of minors, with some victims receiving small payments, and they are tracing distributors, buyers and alleged leaders in Mexico and abroad.
  • The case began with an anonymous tip to the C5i, and the state prosecutor reports active coordination with the FGR and Interpol to pursue additional suspects and support victims.
