By Jacob Farmer / jfarmer@chronline.com A 24-year-old Centralia man faces felony charges after he was arrested for allegedly exchanging nude photographs of children and communicating with children as young as 10 in a “sexual manner,” according to the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office.  Mason U. Trujillo was booked into the Lewis County Jail Nov. 13 before making a preliminary appearance in Lewis County Superior Court the following day.  Trujillo was charged with the following: one count of first-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct; three counts of second-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct; and one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.  According to the probable cause affidavit, Trujillo is currently under investigation for possible sexual assault of a 12-year-old child in Rochester.  Through that investigation, a Lewis County Sheriff’s Office detective executed search warrants for Trujillo’s Snapchat account and learned Trujillo lived in Lewis County and was “communicating with multiple minors and exchanging nude or lewd photographs of minor children,” according to the affidavit.  One of those alleged exchanges included nude and sexual images of a 10-year-old girl in Michigan. One image of the girl reportedly contained the

A Dubai court sentenced an Asian man to six months in prison after he threatened to publish indecent images of a minor girl on Snapchat, Al Khaleej reported. The Criminal Court also ordered the confiscation of his phone, deletion of all related data, and his deportation after serving the sentence. Case records show that an underage Asian girl filed a police report in April, stating that the defendant had blackmailed her using explicit photos and videos she had previously shared during casual conversations on Snapchat. After she ended communication, the man allegedly threatened to release the material online and send it to her family unless she sent additional images. Dubai Police testimony revealed that a specialized cybercrime team tracked and arrested the suspect. During the search, authorities discovered a DVD containing explicit clips of the victim and other girls, along with similar material on his mobile phone. Digital forensic analysis also showed threatening messages he had sent to multiple girls, demanding private videos and photos under threat of exposure. The court ruled that his actions constituted criminal intimidation, exploitation of a minor, and misuse of online communication platforms, and found the evidence compelling enough to convict him.

This bike was stolen and then immediately offered for sale on a named person’s Snapchat account, resulting in two Garda searches in Dublin An Irish club cyclist has had his €10,000 new bike stolen and then saw it immediately offered for sale on snapchat and on an internet marketplace. Gardaí then believed they had tracked down the bike, and the man believed to be selling it online, with a search operation taking place. However, those searches drew a blank and, frustratingly, the bike remains unaccounted for while its owner has been receiving updates from other cyclists reporting they have spotted the bike being ridden in central Dublin. The owner – Dunboyne Cycling Club member Micheál Bailey – had the Fifty One Assassin stolen in Dublin’s south inner city on Tuesday night. The bike was offered for sale on a Snapchat account, and on an online marketplace, the following day. It appears the Snapchat account, registered by a named individual, published a photograph of the bike, saying it was in “mint” condition as he offered it for sale. On the basis of that post, gardaí decided to carry out two searches, though the bike was not at those locations and remains

Grooming gang inquiry will never be watered down, says Starmer Online grooming offences have reached a record high in the UK, with 7,263 cases recorded in the year to March, nearly doubling the figures from 2018. The youngest victim identified was a four-year-old boy, and girls accounted for 80 per cent of victims where gender was known. Snapchat was linked to 40 per cent of identified tech platform offences, while WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram each accounted for 9 per cent. The NSPCC described the figures as “deeply alarming” and urged tech companies to analyse metadata for suspicious patterns and restrict adult profiles. Police and the Internet Watch Foundation also called on tech firms to prioritise child safety in platform design, including in encrypted spaces, to protect children.

Online grooming crimes have doubled in the UK since 2017 to a record high, with one victim just four years old, according to the NSPCC. Warning: Readers may find details in this story distressing. The children's charity said 7,263 offences were recorded by police in the year to March - almost double the 3,728 in the 12 months to March 2018. Its new report, which described the eight-year rise as "deeply alarming", was based on data from police across the country via freedom of information requests, with Lincolnshire Police the only force failing to provide information. A tech platform was identified in a little more than 2,100 offences, with messaging app Snapchat the most widely used - in around 40% of the cases. The NSPCC said 9% of cases happened on WhatsApp, and 9% on Facebook and Instagram. All those platforms are owned by Meta. While girls made up 80% of victims in cases where the gender was known in the past year, the youngest victim in that period was a four-year-old boy, the charity said. The NSPCC said it wasn't told how the boy had been groomed, and declined to say which police force recorded this crime for fear

Paul Lipscombe, a senior NHS manager from Rothley, Leicestershire, has been sentenced to 28 years in prison after admitting to a shocking series of sexual offences against young girls he groomed on Snapchat. Described by Judge Keith Raynor as "devious, scheming and manipulative," Lipscombe’s crimes have sent shockwaves through the medical community, law enforcement, and the wider public, raising urgent questions about the safety of children on social media platforms and the adequacy of online safeguards. According to Sky News, the 51-year-old, who worked as an associate director of NHS performance in Coventry and earned at least £91,000 a year, pleaded guilty to 34 offences against six girls aged between 12 and 15. The offences, which occurred between September 2023 and April 2024, included two counts of rape of a child under 13, 21 counts of sexual activity with a child, three counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, making indecent photographs of children, and distributing indecent photographs of children.
