The same sources claim the detainee used the internet to “contact victims”, who were then “threatened and intimidated with sexual material”.

Of the 45 crimes the suspect is being held in connection with, 12 relate to “corruption of minors” by forcing children to perform “explicit sexual acts” and distributing the footage.

The 22-year-old is expected to appear in court this week.
