A New Jersey man is accused of using the popular social media app TikTok to solicit nude photos of underage girls.
The investigation began on April 20, when detectives in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, were contacted by a father of two girls, ages 11 and 12. Investigators say the girls had been solicited through TikTok direct messages and then through text messages to send naked images back to an unidentified man.
The girls, who live in Montgomery County, received the messages between April 17 and April 20. One of the girls then told their father she had sent a naked picture of herself to the man. The girls then received texts from another phone number claiming to be the man’s 14-year-old sister. Both girls were sent naked photos and were once again solicited to provide nude photos of themselves.
Investigators traced the phone number from the texter to Ad Hoc Labs, a company that provides burner phones for online ads, traveling, business projects and dating profiles.
