A man was arrested as the suspect of sending child pornography to Canada. The Center for the Coordination of Child Exploitation in Canada investigated the case after receiving confidential information.
It was found that the material disseminated was uploaded from Costa Rica. Authorities from Canada alerted Costa Rica. The OIJ and local authorities tracked the suspect down by his IP address.
He was arrested on Thursday morning while leaving his home in Naranjo and faces four to eight years in prison, according to the Criminal Code. The authorities seized laptops, USB storage devices, and cell phones.
The detainee was brought to the Public Prosecutor where his legal status will be determined.
Just one week ago, the OIJ arrested a couple who abused a girl one year and eight months old and recorded the sexual acts. In the raid, a cell phone was confiscated and the videos were found on it.
