A Miami man accumulated child sex abuse videos and sent messages to underage girls, police say. Officers confiscated his illegal collection and put him behind bars.
After more than a year and a half of investigation, Miami police arrested and charged Junior Del Villar Hernandez, 39, on Wednesday with 15 counts of possession of sexual performance by a child.
The investigation began in September 2022 when 15 videos of child sexual abuse were posted online, police said in a statement.
“Since then, Miami Police detectives have worked tirelessly to build the case, identify the offender and locate him,” the statement said.
After serving a search warrant, police confirmed their suspicions, discovering several “extremely disturbing videos” showing sexual acts on minors as young as 2 years old, the report said.
Detectives also discovered Hernandez was messaging underage girls on social media.
“The Miami Police Department takes any crimes against infants/children seriously and will work tirelessly to identify and bring to justice those who engage in such acts against innocent and defenseless children,” the department said.
