A man was arrested on Thursday, June 11, in Antibes after being caught photographing an 8-year-old child on a local beach. The individual immediately attracted the attention of the police officers present, who proceeded to arrest him. This intervention comes amid heightened vigilance, as officers were already mobilized for a similar case in the area in May.
Hard drives and discovered cash deposits
The search of the suspect's home led to the seizure of several hard drives containing child pornography. Investigators also discovered detailed accounting records showing payments made by the man to minors in exchange for illegal content. This physical evidence supports the suspicions against the individual and reveals a structured criminal activity.
This arrest comes just days after another case in the same town: a 63-year-old man was arrested for the sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl on a beach in Juan-les-Pins. The suspect used a stuffed animal to lure children. Both cases highlight the need for increased surveillance on the French Riviera beaches during the summer season.
