Police in Europe have arrested more than a hundred people in what officials are calling the largest online child-sex ring ever discovered.
At least 230 children, some as young as 7 years old, were rescued from sexual abuse, officials at the European police agency Europol said today. Europol Director Rob Wainwright said the child sex ring had 70,000 members and was "probably the largest online pedophile network in the world."
Although most of the 184 arrests were made in Europe, the three-year investigation has flagged 670 suspected pedophiles around the world, from Australia to Brazil to the United States, officials said in a press release today. Those alleged offenders, police said, will be investigated and brought to justice.
The ring was operating on the site boylover.net, a "discussion-only" forum based out of the Netherlands where people shared their interest in young boys. Authorities say members used the site to exchange videos and photos of children being abused.
Police said they arrested members accused of having direct physical contact with children, but warned others active on the site that there will be more arrests. Britain's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center lead the investigation, which aided authorities in 30 different countries in busting the ring.
One of the people arrested in England was a woman, officials said. Others included teachers, boy scout leaders and police officers.
Peter Davies, the UK police chief who heads the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center, said the same technology that allowed the alleged pedophiles to engage in illegal activities helped authorities bust the ring. "What we show today is that while these offenders felt anonymous in some way because they were using the internet to communicate, the technology was actually being used against them," he said in a press release today. "Everything they did online, everyone they talked to or anything they shared could and was tracked by following the digital footprint."

Unfortunantly castration seems to be the only thing that stops them and most will start this up again as soon as they are released.
Who's rights are they really protecting when they will not allow forced castration on repeat offenders.
They give them drugs,which help, but they stop taking them the minute they are off parole.
And something this big would indicate that there were officials bribed and they never get punished.
Children are sexually abused or sold as slaves all over the planet and primarly by Men.
And the jails are full of pot dealers but they let these creeps out??
And IMO the internet just drives more and more of this stuff.
Honestly they need to ban all pornography from the internet and drive it underground, where is can be properly prosecuted.
I like to look as much as the next guy but enough is enough and stuff like this ring is able to conceal itself better.
Either way , All the people that participate or cooperate with child sexual or any kind of abuse need to be taken off the street permanently.
