Child porn network rolled up, hundreds fast

the hague - An international campaign has rolled up a large child pornography network. The members exchanged pictures and videos on the dark web, the hidden part of the internet. Certainly 870 people have been arrested, of whom 368 are in Europe. And some 259 abused children have been identified or liberated.

The European Police Service Europol has released the results of Operation Pacifier Friday. The case is about Playpen, one of the largest abuse forums in the world, with over 150,000 users. The administrator was convicted of thirty years of imprisonment in the United States a few days ago. Two other administrators received twenty years.

'Child abusers are getting more and more knowledge of detection. They actively use the best ways to stay anonymous and encrypt so that they are not discovered, 'said Europol, based in The Hague.
