The OIJ surprised a 27-year-old man at work and arrested him for violating personal data and offering online a lady as a sexual companion and then threatening her not to report it.

The arrest was made in Escazú. In a raid of his home, computers, phones, and storage devices were confiscated and they will undergo digital forensic analysis to find any related information.

The subject is accused of publishing classified ads with photos of a woman he had met in a previous job. This falls under a cyber crimes category in article 196 bis of the Criminal Code. He can face one to four years of imprisonment.
