English Teacher Arrested in Puerto Vallarta on Child Pornography Charges

An alert from the CyberTipline to Mexico's National Guard set off the investigation.

Overview

  • Prosecutors in Jalisco arrested Alfredo “N,” an English teacher in Puerto Vallarta, on accusations tied to child sexual abuse material.
  • Officials say the case began after international reports to CyberTipline, a system that forwards suspected child exploitation to police, were routed to Mexico’s National Guard.
  • Investigators linked a pseudonymous account to the suspect using phone numbers and email addresses, then obtained arrest and search warrants.
  • A joint team from the state special prosecutor’s office and the Mexican Army executed the warrants at a property in the Valentín Gómez Farías neighborhood where he taught.
  • He was turned over to a judge to face human trafficking charges in the modality of producing and storing child pornography, with possible distribution alleged, and he remains presumed innocent as the case is built.
