This case turned into the first conviction for grooming followed by death in the country and led to Law 27.590, which seeks to protect children and teenagers from online grooming. The investigation found, through a digital query done with CrowdTangle—a tool that allowed researchers to analyze public posts on Facebook, but which the company shut down—thousands of posts that replicated the same criteria: people who, via profiles that claimed to be underage, asked questions or published messaged that sought to lure boys, girls, and teenagers into sexual exploitation or abuse.
