Reservist Investigated for Sex Offenses, Found With Child Pornography

A military reservist is under investigation after authorities discovered child pornography on his mobile phone. Initially, the reservist was questioned by the Military Police Investigation Unit (MPIU) on suspicion of privacy violations and indecent acts against female soldiers. During the course of that investigation, evidence emerged suggesting offenses against civilians as well, which ultimately led to the discovery of the child pornography.

The suspect was arrested and brought in for questioning. A court has extended his detention until September 29, following a police request based on the investigation's findings and needs.
