The 555 crimes of the 'engraver' of women who arrived from Colombia
En el almacén de patatas de Pinto (Madrid), cuatro hombres manejan la máquina envasadora que agrupa los tubérculos en sacos de malla. Aquí mismo, entre patatas, cebollas y palés, trabajaba Edinson. Llegaba a las 7.30 de la mañana, paraba para comer un plato de arroz con carne que se traía de casa, echaba una siesta en el suelo y a las 19.30 volvía a su casa. Hasta que un día, el 10 de julio, desapareció.
"If I don't return it is that they have stopped me and have deported me to Canada, where I am claimed," he told his partner Eduardo, ".At least Canada's prisons are not bad...
And he vanished."We took it for dead," says the warehouse manager."We thought I was involved in drugs," adds Eduardo.But not.The missing person is not dead nor has he been the victim of an adjustment of accounts.Chronicle gives them the news: Edinson -53 -year -old Colombian;"Serious", "discreet", "educated" and "helpful", they add- had a hidden life that has taken him to prison.Delgado, about 1.80 meters high, with fine glasses and prominent teeth, in its inseparable black backpack hid a mobile with which in the last year it has recorded at least 555 girls and women below the skirt and withoutHis consent in the Metro, on the train, on the street, in the supermarkets...and then spread them on a pornographic website under the name of Edinson66 (probably for their year of birth).For a year, Madrid became a gigantic set for its perversion.
The National Police has not hesitated to qualify him as "one of the greatest predators of women's intimacy".Because it was compulsive.I practically did nothing like day after day.Record, record and record.Especially on their journeys to and from the warehouse, but also in their free time.
His profile responds to that of an obsessive person, since, according to police inquiries, and although the investigation remains open, Edinson M.Z.It does not seem to earn money with their videos.And that his numbers were bulky: thanks to the 283 videos he posted in 12 months, he had achieved more than 1.3 million visualizations and 3.519 subscribers to your profile on one of the best known pornographic websites.
The category with which your videos had to.An upward trend in porn that is making alarms jump in Asia and more and more in Europe.In Spain it enters the crime against intimacy, but in the United Kingdom he was not even penalized until a victim of the Upskirting initiated a campaign and achieved the approval of the so -called voyeurism law.According to the British standard, in force since February, who photographed with his mobile the part below the skirt of a woman without his approval can face up to two years in jail and, in the most serious cases, his name will be included in thepublic lists of sexual criminals.
Hunting to 'Edinson66'
The operation to stop Edinson started in March, when the second group of the network section of the Central Cybercrime Unit of the Police detected more than 200 videos recorded in Madrid on this porn page in which the underwear were seen, thebuttocks or genitals of hundreds of women.They recognized some subway station, the Puerta del Sol...And they asked the web to give them all the data about Edinson66.The page collaborated.The agents identified the obsessive voyeur and began to follow him.They probably did not find answers to the question of how a person becomes someone like that.
Born in La Candelaria, in the Historic Center of Bogotá, it is known about him that he arrived in Spain years ago, although his entrance does not appear in the registry, so it could be illegal.Police do not know that between 2013 and 2017 he returned to Colombia and then settled in Madrid.I had achieved the residence card and was trying to get Spanish nationality, but they had denied it.In the potato warehouse he entered recommended by a former Dominican employee who had met him working for a cleaning company in Mercamadrid, where Edinson Barría and helped load trucks.
Beyond work, I barely had friends or social life.Single, lonely and without a history in Spain, lived with a Colombian family on a rental floor in the center of Usera, south of Madrid, where the Chinese and Latin American population abounds.Five days before his arrest, he moved to another rental floor, this time for him alone, about 10 minutes walking from his previous home.In both portals they say they don't know anything about him.Edinson looks like a ghost.But he had a secret and his itineraries were marked by that secret.
In a hidden pocket
"I recorded daily," said Roberto Fernández Alonso, chief inspector of the National Police Networks section.«When I was going to work, when I came back...Sometimes he left only to go to the door of the sun or atocha, where there is always a lot of concentration of people, and he recorded compulsively ».Filmed all the women who could.They were 15 years old or 60.
His modus operandi is well seen in the videos that the police recorded: Edinson sees a woman with a skirt, stands behind her and brings her black backpack, grabbed with one hand, at the height of the feet.The backpack has open front pocket and inside, its mobile with the activated recording device.Thus began his particular work of art.
In three videos to which he has had chronic access he is seen approaching with his backpack a young woman with a red dress in a Madrid subway car, standing behind another girl on mechanical stairs and filming in the first plane the buttocks of another woman of another womanWhat seems to wait for a friend while taking pictures.Sometimes women also followed a store.Sometimes I also recorded their face, so that the intimate parts in question were seen to who corresponded to.So up to 555 women.In just five days of monitoring, the agents identified 29, two of them minors.The police who followed him let him act to obtain evidence of his crime and then approached the victims to explain that they had been the subject of an illicit recording and that they could report it.They were all surprised.His method seemed infallible.
And that has been his life, which is known, since July 2018 (from then on it dates back the first video he posted on the web analyzed) until July 11, 2019 (when he was arrested).Not only to record, because after obtaining the material the second part was: editing it.With fruition.With a video editing program that he had installed in his laptop, he mounted the images to his taste.He cut some parts, put what interested him most, added music.Mixed in a single video some women with others.At home the agents located three hard drives and the computer with dozens of videos gigas.
Before stopping him in fraganti recording a girl at the Pacific station, the police had the feeling that Edinson was persecuted.He looked around more than usual, changed domicile...They were about to suspend the operation.But not salieron de su asombro, porque aun así el filmador no pudo dejar de filmar.He continued with his backpack, stalking women.Day after day.
At first, when they arrested him, Edinson offered some resistance.Now he is in prison in a preventive way.Police still investigate the abundant material he has found at home and that can lead to new actions.The great "predator", as presented by the police itself, can face two types of crime: against intimacy (197.2 of the Criminal Code), to record the intimate parts of other people and also disseminate it;and of child abuse, because among their victims there are minors.For the first they could condemn between one and four years in prison;With the second the penalty could be elevated to seven.
In the potato warehouse, the eve of his arrest, Edinson confessed to a partner who suspected something.Although he did not tell him his secret.He told him that in Canada they were looking for.Also that there was two children there.Police now investigates their past both in Colombia and Canada.
In Spain, at least, Edinson66 has already left a mark.Until now there were isolated cases of men who had hidden cameras in the locker.But not que dedicaran todo su tiempo libre a la obsesión del upskirting hasta filmar a más de medio millar de mujeres."They did not realize," he told the police.
