Following the circulation of a video depicting the assault of a minor, authorities call for an end to the online harassment of individuals involved.
The police in Tiel have issued a statement urging the public to stop sharing videos of an incident involving the assault of a minor that occurred on April 19. In the aftermath of the incident, there has been a concerning rise in online activity targeting the individuals involved, including attempts to uncover and share their personal information.
The incident, captured on a TikTok video, shows a young girl being attacked by a group of other adolescents.
Authorities are aware of the identities of those involved but have opted not to disclose any information due to the age of the parties concerned, all of whom are minors.
In their statement, the police highlighted the dangers associated with the sharing of personal information, noting that this has led to threats against individuals unrelated to the incident.
They specifically referenced one case where a woman, not involved in the assault, received threats, including at her workplace, which the police deemed unacceptable.
The dissemination of personal data to intimidate others is classified as a criminal offense.
Authorities confirmed that their investigation into the assault is ongoing, with further analysis of the video footage taking place.
They plan to conduct interviews with additional witnesses, although no information regarding potential arrests has been released due to the involvement of minors.
