Clarín accessed some of the chats of Whatsapp and Telegram groups through which child sexual abuse material was trafficked.
Prisoners with cell phones, nurses, teachers, public and private employees, among those arrested for selling photos and videos of pedophilia.

With the name assigned to the chat group, he showed an obscene cynicism. The man set up a "virtual community" where he included consumers of child abuse and child pornography with this name: "Everything in family."
A.T. (those are the initials of the accused for this crime) used the social network Telegram to contact other pedophiles. When he exhibited one of those photos, he exclaimed: "I'm sure it tastes like honey. How jealous those who can taste that honey." He alluded to the image of an 8-year-old girl forced to pose half naked.
The transcripts are included in one of the more than 114 cases for pedophilia, child abuse, production, possession and transmission of sexual material of boys or girls that were discovered by the coordinated work of the Buenos Aires Justice. On Tuesday, from 6 o'm, more than a hundred raids were carried out simultaneously in 65 localities of the Province.

They arrested 21 people involved in abuse, grooming, corruption of minors, dissemination of pornography and other crimes against children and adolescents.
Prosecutors specialized in cases of sexual abuse of minors and related crimes also reached another trafficking network that in Whatsapp was identified as "Porno Hermanos". There a user reports: "I have someone who gets me a baby of 6. But ask for a lot of $$$$."
In another post he assures: "they give it to me for two days so that I can do whatever I want." The conversation, dated November 2020, continues until the amount is mentioned: "20 thousand (not known if pesos or dollars)". "And if it's a lot," concludes the interlocutor.

Clarín accessed several screenshots of chats but the vast majority are unpublishable because of how aberrant the conversations are.

Prisoners with cell phones who sell material from prison

There were also procedures in two prisons of the Bona Aerense Penitentiary Service. In the Florencio Varela complex, a man sentenced to 50 years in prison for repeated abuse in an oral trial held in La Matanza was the target of this mega procedure that was specified by the Attorney General of the Supreme Court.

According to Clarín, the prisoner had the right to use a cell phone. It is a prerogative granted by the Government of Axel Kicillof to those detaineed in the 2020 pandemic. But that privilege was never withdrawn by the authorities who lead the SPB. The then Minister of Justice, Julio Alak, and neither his successor, Martín Mena, did it.
"Now they use them, in addition to communicating with family members, for this and other types of crimes," they complain to the prosecutors' offices.

In that device he had stored footage, photos and videos of the rapes against minors that he committed in a home of Gregorio de Laferrere, La Matanza, for almost a decade. They were children of their ex-partner.
The prisoner trafficked that material from prison. He had it hidden in a cell phone application that pretended to be a "calculator." But when you enter the app, the device asks for a key that leads to the encrypted content. "There were dozens of hidden folders, with subfolders identified with the names of the victims of La Matanza," judicial sources explained to Clarín.

The double life of the detainees

For the "Operational Protection of Children IV", as the Justice called this coordinated action, there are 18 men and 3 women arrested. “There is no pattern that identifies these criminals. They are usually between 19 and 50 years old. And they seek to get jobs related to minors."
Among those detainees are a nurse, a teacher, public employees and private companies. And operators or "properts".
"We arrived for a complaint to an individual who had a conviction for 'holding' sexual abuse material. He unloaded again. He had a conditional sentence because they gave him six months in prison," one of the prosecutors who intervened told Clarín.

In this case it was a man from San Justo. When they entered his home, he had prepared a room with computer equipment to distribute and traffic material. He is an operator of a bus line. "I stopped him when he went to work," they said in Courts.

The brother-in-law who raped a 10-year-old girl when he "tared" for her

In San Francisco Solano, Quilmes party, one of the procedures ended with a family in shock. And a mother referred to the hospital in a state of emotional shock. It is that the agents came to arrest his brother-in-law, with whom he shared the lot of his house. The woman's 10-year-old daughter was in the care of the pedophile. The now detainee forced her to produce intimate photos and videos.
I recorded them in the dining room and living room of that house. They identified him by the turquoise color of the armchair where he forced the victim to pose. Also for an iron that was in the bathroom, where he also photographed it. He distributed that material among "clients" from Peru, Costa Rica, Venezuela and Uruguay.

The man worked as a freelance operator. He did domestic services. His relatives (the parents of the abused girl) never suspected his perverse attitude. "We find many situations like this. Pedophiles manage to hide their psychopathic personality," said a researcher.
The minor who lived near her abuser in Solano is one of the 64 victims who were rescued in this procedure. It was an investigation that began two and a half months ago with the work of more than 20 specialized prosecutors' offices. It arose from the "proactive search" of material on the Internet; from the complaints of individuals and from presentations of international organizations dedicated to the protection and prevention of victims of pornography.

The "objectives" pointed out on Tuesday at dawn were located in the judicial departments of Avellaneda-Lanús, Azul, Bahía Blanca, decentralized of Tres Arroyos, Dolores, Junín, La Matanza, La Plata, Lomas de Zamora, decentralized of Esteban Echeverría and Ezeiza, Mercedes, Moreno-Gral. Rodríguez, Morón, Necochea, Pergamino, Quilmes, San Isidro, San Martín, San Nicolás, Trenque Lauquen, Zárate-Campana, and targets in the province of Tucumán.
In addition to a dozen "detainees" who were already imprisoned in Varela, others arrested by these maneuvers are domiciled in Tres Arroyos, Pergamino, Mar del Tuyú, Santa Teresita, Rafael Castillo, San Justo, Tristán Suárez, Monte Grande, Quilmes and Junín.
