While the head of the Alba County Police Inspectorate mentions a 14-year-old minor, DGASPC Alba communicated to the press about a 15-year-old adolescent who contacted the centers to report the abuse she had suffered. On November 4, 2026, a court in Alba admitted the prosecutors' proposal and issued a preventive detention warrant for 30 days. The 61-year-old suspect has been continuously accused since October 2026 of operations with pornographic materials and recruitment of minors for sexual purposes. In collaboration with forensic experts, the prosecutors have documented the entirety of the man's criminal activity, and today he is under the most severe coercive measure. [4] [3]
He is alleged to have stored on his phone the photographs and videos received and continued pressures to force the victim to meet him physically for sexual contact. On November 3, following the complaint filed by the adolescent with DGASPC Alba, police searched the man's residence. [4]
The minor was immediately placed in a specialized psychological counseling program to address the trauma she suffered. The manager of DGASPC Alba, Mihai Tonea, stated that the protection team reported the case to the Police as soon as they found out, providing all available evidence. Besides those mentioned, representatives of STP Alba Iulia told news agencies that the driver has a serious disciplinary file and that he would not have had other behavioral problems during his transport activities.
