The arrest of two content creators
The Spanish police have arrested two men accused of sexual assault on four underage girls, a number that could increase as the investigation progresses. Both are recognized content creators on two social networks, TikTok and Instagram, where they had almost 80,000 followers on both accounts.
The impact of content creators
Even if this number of followers is not in comparison with the most recognized influencers and creators in the digital world, it is a significant number that had an impact among a very specific audience: the youngest. It is in this scenario that they captured girls, all minors, especially through the network where they had the most strength, TikTok.
The accusations and the investigation
As the police officers explained to EFE, the two pseudo-influencers invited them to their home, in Madrid, and that is where they would have drugged and recorded them without their consent in various sexual assaults. The investigation took place this Tuesday, but it has been a month since these arrests were made. One of the two members of the duo of content creators has already gone to prison.
conclusion
The arrest of these two content creators for sexual assault on minors highlights the importance of ensuring the safety of young people on social networks. It is essential that the necessary measures are taken to protect the most vulnerable and ensure that these types of abuses do not go unpunished.
