The 25-year-old met the students through this specific platform.

The ordeal of the underage girls was unbearable. The 14-year-old couldn’t take it anymore and revealed the whole truth to her parents. She told them that they had never met in person, only communicated online. At first, he was polite and she liked that he flirted with her. However, she made the mistake of sending him a nude photo of herself.
Officers from the Chalandri Crime Investigation Unit managed to track down the perpetrator through his digital footprints. During the raid on his house, they found three mobile phones, brass knuckles, an air pistol, two knives and numerous nude photos of several underage girls. The perpetrator’s victims have already been identified and are being called by authorities to give statements regarding the circumstances “regarding weapons“.
Police have focused their investigation on whether the 25-year-old was distributing the nude photos on pedophile websites, selling them online, or keeping them for his personal use only.
