“Investigator, we have an anonymously sent data carrier with child pornography,” I began without a long introduction. After a few breaths of silence, she answered: «Sanita, I think you should come to us.» It begins Re: Baltica journalist Sanita Jemberga’s story about the investigation that led to the capture of the pedophile Pasha, who for years was not noticed by the police, school, or neighbors in Daugavpils.
The anonymous letter sent to journalists contained a memory card containing 100 files – 99 photos and videos and one document. The photos were like something from a pedophile handbook. At least three boys aged 10-14, in underpants with legs apart, next to a plate of food, engrossed in games on the phone or computer. The first ones were taken in 2014, the last ones in 2019. More and more naked and pornographic. An adult man can also be seen in several of them.
