US charges 72 over global child porn operation

[Ringel05]

The US has charged 72 people it alleges were part of a global child pornography network used to share photos and videos of sexual abuse.

Announcing charges after 20 months of Operation Delego, senior US officials said some 600 users of a site known as "Dreamboard" had been investigated.

Attorney General Eric Holder said some images on the site showed the abuse of infants and young children.

The US has 43 of those charged in custody, with nine held overseas.

The 20 others charged as part of the US probe remain at large, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said, and are known only by their internet pseudonyms.

So so very repulsive. I hope they get all 600.

 

[Mr. H.]

The tip of the iceberg. A big bad filthy iceberg.

Here's the message to the scum from the task force.

“To those inclined to abuse small children, know this: there isn’t a place on the Internet or the planet in which you are truly safe,” he said. “It may take us some time, it may take us some effort, but we will find you regardless of a screen name, a proxy server or an encryption effort, period.”
