A thousand Danish teenagers share a sex video

copenhagen - Slightly more than a thousand young people in Denmark have been charged, because they had spread a movie via Facebook Messenger in which two fifteen-year-olds had sex. They are suspected of sharing child pornography, the Danish police announced on Monday.

Facebook tracked the videos last autumn. The company warned the American authorities and removed the recordings. The United States then passed it on to Denmark. Most had shared the video a few times, but there were also young people who had passed on the video to hundreds of people.

The suspects come mainly from the Nordsjaelland region, the upper part of the Danish mainland, and from Copenhagen. A suspect lives in the Danish autonomous region of Greenland.
