Slovak man arrested in Croatia for allegedly filming nude children with special glasses

Istrian police have filed criminal charges against a 63-year-old Slovakian citizen suspected of secretly filming nude children using specialized glasses. The incident occurred at a tourist facility in the Istria region.

According to police reports, a security guard at the facility observed the man attempting to film nude children with his glasses around 4:30 PM on Thursday, July 2. The guard detained the suspect until law enforcement arrived. An investigation at the scene led to the discovery of incriminating material on the suspect's devices.

Following the investigation, the suspect was handed over to the Istrian Police Department's detention unit with criminal charges filed against him. Police highlighted that public awareness of the issue of filming children is increasing, enabling quicker responses and the apprehension of perpetrators.

Authorities are appealing to parents to remain vigilant and ensure their children's safety, particularly at beaches and tourist locations. They advise parents to dress children in swimwear and to immediately call the emergency number 192 if they notice anyone exhibiting suspicious behavior or attempting to film children. This incident is part of a recurring issue during Croatia's summer tourist season, where foreign nationals are frequently caught attempting to photograph or film nude children.
