Authorities rescued nine sexual abuse victims, including three minors, following cyber-surveillance, leading to the arrest of lawyer Michael Molina.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) identified Molina, facing multiple charges related to child trafficking and online sexual abuse, arrested in Zamboanga City through a joint operation involving several agencies.
The operation, supported by various organizations, revealed evidence suggesting Molina’s exploitation of children began as early as 2012, with potential data indicating collection of abuse materials dating back to 2002.
The rescued minors are now under the care of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
The public is urged to report suspected child exploitation cases to the DOJ, NBI, or local law enforcement.
