Dordrecht students accused of child porn for Instagram sexting

The police arrested six teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 years old in Dordrecht on Friday on suspicion of spreading child pornography. The six teenagers are also suspected of threats, violent robbery and abuse, the police announced on Facebook. According to the police, the teenagers are part of a known trouble maker group in the district Sterrenburg. The investigation against them has been ongoing for some time. The police believe that the suspects victimized several girls through sexting. Photos and videos of sexual acts were likely made by the girls themselves or by a friend, and then the group spread it on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. Recently nude photos and videos of young girls frequently appear and disappear on social media. Tilburg in particular is facing this problem on Instagram. It is not yet clear whether this group of teenagers are behind any of those accounts, that is being investigated. The police are keeping an eye on several such accounts. The police are calling on any victims who have not yet reported to the police, to do so. https://www.facebook.com/politiedordrecht/photos/a.913701275348463.1073741825.193333364051928/1055571231161466/?type=3&theater
