She was 19 years old when
she dared to tell that at 14 she fell
into the trap of a man who hired her to distribute flyers for his business in Morón, who later seduced her, abused her and filmed the attacks.
It was not the only one.
Those videos, he uploaded to pornography pages:
"The victims of the red chair"
, they were titled.
He was arrested.
The girl who reported the case in December 2020 to the UFI of Human Trafficking, Child Pornography and Grooming of La Matanza, in charge of Lorena Pecorelli,
was not the only victim
: they have more names and investigators suspect that
the list is still more extensive
, according to sources of the investigation told
Clarín
.
Before arresting him, they managed to determine that the detainee and his partner, also a prisoner as a possible accomplice, were going to seek
their victims from schools and clubs
;
and that they were all girls from poor neighborhoods.
"
He was taking advantage of her vulnerability,
" they said.
Seven months of investigation and
two thousand hours of wiretapping
required prosecutor Pecorelli, as well as Fernando Pinos Guevara's Guarantee Court No. 4 of La Matanza, to arrest
Alejandro Martín Gabriel Blanc Pardo (45)
.
Alejandro Martín Gabriel Blanc Pardo is 45 years old.
He had a suspended sentence for child abuse.
Blanc Pardo was found in Haedo and is accused of "human trafficking, sexual abuse, pedophilia,
corruption of minors
and production and distribution of images of
child sexual abuse
."
The detainee "boasted on social networks and on the pornographic web, of being the 'Argentine Jeffrey Epstein'".
As early
as 2013, he had been sentenced
to three years in suspended prison for "sexual abuse with carnal access" of a 14-year-old girl, sources told the
Telam
news agency
.
This Thursday, when they captured him, they also detained his partner:
Virginia Andrea Lagussi (46)
was arrested "for the production of images of child sexual abuse" and is being investigated as a
possible accomplice in the capture
of the victims.
"She denies it and claims that
he also forced her to have sex
with other people," the sources detailed to this newspaper.
The police in the department of Blanc Pardo de Morón.
"Videos of the red chair" and operating "Sofa"
The operations to arrest Blanc Pardo and his girlfriend were called "
Red Sofa"
: it is that on a piece of furniture of these characteristics he filmed his victims.
The girl who made the complaint in December 2020 said that the defendant, whom she calls "Ale", caught her when she was 14 to "
distribute flyers from his motorcycle agency in Morón
."
Soon after, she said that "Ale" began to seduce her and filmed the "encounters" in which the abuses occurred.
According to the sources of the investigation, the accused later uploaded videos of the sexual attacks to different pornographic sites
without the victim's knowledge
.
The complainant was forced, under
threats
, to
provide sexual services
to her clients, and to
bring her friends
, minors like her, to subdue them, the investigators described.
The modus operandi?
The motorcycle agency was the front
to capture the adolescents, but the filming would have been done in a
greengrocer
in Morón that the detainees have.
As they were able to establish with the operatives, the
two red chairs and a gray sofa
, all kidnapped, were the ones used by the accused to rape the teenagers.
The abuses were filmed and those videos were uploaded to the web with the title of
"victims of the red chair"
.
For this reason, the agents of the Superintendency of Investigations of Complex Crimes and Organized Crime of Buenos Aires who carried out the
raids in Morón - in
addition to carrying out procedures in the department of Blanc Pardo, located at Emilio Castro 435;
and in another by Garcia Silvia 1674- they also went to the Azcuénaga 499 greengrocer and the Irigoyen and Boquerón motorcycle agency.
The two kidnapped red chairs.
They also found weapons and drugs.
There, the two red armchairs and the gray sofa,
two pistols
, ammunition,
a photographic camera
, four computers, a dozen compact discs of pornographic films,
drugs
, were seized
;
among other elements.
For the researchers, the evidence collected allows "to demonstrate the existence of a
criminal organization
dedicated to the recruitment of people in
vulnerable
situations
", who are then "subjected to
humiliation
,
exploitation
of guilt and control of the personal life of the victims".
From the investigation and the monitoring of the accused, it was determined that both
frequent the exit of different
primary and secondary schools, as well as
clubs
.
There they were going to capture their future victims: "They are all from a lower class social condition,
girls from poor neighborhoods
," they said.
Part of what was kidnapped in the "Red Sofa" operation.
From the Prosecutor's Office they are convinced that
there are many more victims
and they ask to spread an email so that they denounce if they were subjected by Blanc Pardo.
