Videos and photos of at least 10 young boys were found on Camilo Hurtado Campos' phone

Detailing the incident, authorities said that the allegations against Camilo Hurtado Campos surfaced after he left his phone at a restaurant. The customers who discovered the device reportedly handed it over to staff, who combed through the phone to contact the owner.

While trying to retrieve the owner's details, the restaurant staff found "unconscionable videos" and photos of 10 victims. The staff then alerted law enforcement officials who arrested Campos and booked him on allegations of child r*pe and s*xual exploitation of a minor. Police said that two of the 10 victims have been identified with the help of local schools. In the press release, Franklin police wrote:

"The r*pes of at least 10 children have been found on Campos’s phone, so far. Working with local schools, Detectives have identified two of his victims. Police hope that those familiar with Campos can help them put a name on the faces of the remaining victims."

Police said that in the hundreds of videos found in the device, the children appeared to be unconscious to a level where they might have not realized they had been violated:

“During an immediate and tireless investigation, Detectives found hundreds of disturbing videos and pictures on that phone. In many of them, Campos recorded himself raping unconscious boys between approximately 9 and 17 years old.”

The authorities said that they are working toward identifying the remaining victims, but noted that they fear there may be additional children who were victimized by the perpetrator.

Meanwhile, Police Lt. Charles Warner told NBC news, that as of Sunday, July 9, Camilo Hurtado Campos was being held on a $525,000 bond.
