Brit paedophile who ‘hacked home security cameras of 70 families to obtain 1000 pics of naked kids’ arrested in Benidorm

Police in Spain say the unnamed alleged paedophile, who worked as a babysitter and private tutor, obtained 1,000 images of naked children.

He is also accused of selling child porn on the dark web using Bitcoins and was accused of sexually harassing nearly a dozen minors he filmed naked in video chats before threatening them, cops say.

He was held by Spanish police following a tip-off from colleagues in Queensland in Australia.

Detectives discovered his real identity after breaking through tight security he had established.

The footage he is alleged to have obtained by hacking families’ indoor home security cameras included that of children based in Britain as well as the US, Canada and Brazil.

The suspect’s age has not yet been revealed although police say he was known to the authorities after being arrested as a minor for committing child porn offences.

A spokesman for Spain’s National Police confirmed: “He also allegedly sexually harassed at least 11 minors he filmed naked and sometimes threatened after they accessed video chats.

“He was very active on the dark web and had organised a system of child porn sales based on bitcoins or the exchange of images filmed by his clients.”

The National Police revealed the suspect had different user names online to post his sordid images.

“National Police specialists also discovered he offered his services as a babysitter and, taking advantage of his British nationality, worked as a home tutor teaching English.

“This work enable him to have around 10 pupils, which heightened the concern of investigators who decided to proceed to arrest him.”

Images of sex abuse were found during a search of his home as well as evidence pointing to the use of cryptocurrency and money transfers to Romania to people involved in child porn.

As well as allegedly organising a bitcoin or image-exchange system of child pornography sales, police say he charged commissions for acting as an intermediary between producers and consumers.

The police spokesman said: “The home security cameras he hacked are designed to enable parents to monitor their kids when they are not at home and can be accessed over mobiles.

“If they are not properly configured they are very vulnerable.

“It has also been discovered that on at least one occasion, the suspect obtained images of the underwear of the children he tutored privately and filmed without their knowledge.”

“He is now being held on remand in prison following a court appearance as the investigation against him continues.”
