Possession of Child Pornography/CASE UPDATE
On 7/29/26 the HPD Investigators received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding possible Child Sex Abuse Material being shared through Snapchat. Preliminary information indicated that the possible victim may be a Hillsborough resident and the suspect may be a resident in Southern California. HPD Investigators obtained a search warrant for multiple electronic services providers and subsequently contacted the parents of the possible victim. HPD Investigators were able to identify the victim and determined that he was not a Hillsborough resident and that the incident did not take place in Hillsborough. HPD Investigators subsequently referred the investigation to the appropriate law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the location in which the incident occurred.
Criminal Threats
On 8/26/26 a Hillsborough resident reported that a tutor they had hired for their high school aged child had begun to send numerous harassing messages after they expressed their disappointment with the level of service they had received. The harassing messages were sent through text messages, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms and including insults and threats to damage the resident’s personal and professional reputation. A subsequent message included hate speech directed towards the resident’s family. HPD Investigators learned that the tutor resides out of state and all of his interactions were conducted remotely. HPD Investigators are in the process of obtaining search warrants to identify the suspect and develop information to further the investigation.
