Who is Camilo Hurtado Campos?
Camilo Hurtado Campos has lived in the Franklin region for 20 years, according to Franklin police. Police claimed that he would enlist kids to play for his squad at neighbouring school playgrounds.
“After gaining their trust, Campos invited many of the kids to his home where he drugged and then raped them,” Franklin police said.

“Working with local schools, detectives have identified two of his victims,” Franklin police said. “Police hope that those familiar with Campos can help them put a name with the faces of the remaining victims.”
Detectives said the children in the videos were in “such an unconscious state” that they might not realize they are victims.
