NBI rescues 6 minors from sexual exploitation in CamSur
Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) rescued six minors who were victims of sexual abuse and exploitation in Bombon, Camarines Sur.
The NBI said it conducted the operation after the US Homeland Security Investigations team in Manila reported that a Filipino was peddling child sexual abuse materials (CSAEM) online in exchange for cash.
Further, the subject was allegedly offering live shows of minor children.
Following this, the NBI Violence Against Women and Children Division and the NBI Naga District Office conducted an entrapment operation at the subject's residence, leading to his arrest on May 27.
The NBI then examined the cellphones retrieved from the operation.
Agents found that four of the minors appeared in the photographs sold by the subject.
The individual was then presented for inquest proceedings for violation of Section 4(c) of Republic Act 11930, otherwise known as the "Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) Act," in relation to Section 6 of Republic Act 10175, otherwise known as the "Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012." — VDV, GMA Integrated News
