He had already been arrested for producing and disseminating child pornography, deceiving two girls. But the victims were many more. The police, coordinated by the Milan prosecutor’s office, carried out a precautionary custody order under house arrest against a 24-year-old.
He hid behind the pseudonyms of Mirko Agridi, 14 years old, and Rebecca Monti, who would have been his cousin. She did it through fake Instagram profiles with which she lured minors and forced them to record videos in which they masturbated. If they didn’t do so she threatened repercussions on the families and sending the same images to friends and acquaintances. Two victims whose families filed a complaint: the mothers had discovered the chats. Thus, in December the 24-year-old was arrested by officers from the Rho Pero police station and taken under house arrest.
The fake Instagram accounts were as follows: @sanzmirco0 @younnico08 @niconagx @nicemotm @giovanenicee @rebeccamonti_08 @Io_esco_giovane @parislazone0 @nicorealllx @semprerebe
“If other young people have suffered similar threats from these fake profiles, they can contact the Rho Pero police station on the telephone number 029390551”, the police say.
