child exploitation artificial intelligence sexual abuse Zaragoza National Police

Spanish National Police have arrested a man in Zaragoza for the alleged sexual abuse of his two-year-old daughter and the subsequent distribution of images online. The investigation was initiated following urgent reports from the US-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), transmitted via Homeland Security Investigations.

During a search of the suspect's residence, authorities placed the child under protection and seized electronic devices. Preliminary analysis of the devices revealed a significant amount of child sexual exploitation material, which was allegedly produced, stored, and distributed by the suspect. Investigators also identified the use of artificial intelligence tools to generate exploitation imagery by manipulating photographs and videos of minors obtained from social media.

The suspect, identified as the child's father, faces charges including sexual assault, corruption of minors, and crimes against privacy.
