Police cite device forensics plus geolocation to tie the scheme to his phone.

Overview

  • The 23-year-old, detained again in Tortosa, appeared before the examining court on Tuesday, March 24, on four harassment counts and one of sexual enticement of a minor.
  • Investigators say he placed about 1,376 calls from hidden numbers and used 94 fake social-media profiles to send sexual images to targets.
