She was forced to send intimate photos and videos for months. Child pornography material that the virtual "boyfriend" threatened to run online if she did not send more.

Victim of this nightmare was a minor resident in Turin, who had met her blackmailer, apparently her same age, on social media.

To save her her father, who discovered the blackmail and told the police everything.

The "boyfriend" was denounced for the production and sale of child pornography material; during the searches, carried out throughout Italy, about three hundred images with child pornography content were seized.

The work of the agents, coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office of the Turin Court, was "complex given the tight meshes of the computer network, dotted with legal barriers made up of 'accounts' and 'log files'", explains the Turin Police Headquarters.

After months of work, however, the investigators managed to give a name and a face to the "boyfriend", who was denounced.
