The Digital Forensic Unit of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group rendered technical assistance to the Women and Children Protection Center - Anti-Trafficking in Person Division in their implementation of a Warrant to Search, Seize, and Examine Computer Data (WSSECD) against a 31-year-old man, alias "Budoy," who is involved in online sexual abuse and exploitation of children on March 18, 2026, at about 8:30 PM in Quezon City.

An on-site digital forensic examination was conducted by the digital forensic examiner on the suspect's devices, which yielded positive results for the possession of several Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM), leading to his arrest.
