International Child Porn Ring Busted

Posted by Kelly Mills

child porn ring bustedHold on to your faith in humanity, because it might get a little tested by the criminals in this one. European law enforcement agents have arrested 92 people in connection with a child pornography ring that supplied child abuse videos to 2,500 customers in many different countries. The 23 kids in the films were mostly Ukranian girls between the ages of nine and sixteen who were told they would get modeling careers. The investigation, called Operation Koala, took more than a year and was triggered when Australian police obtained a video of a Belgian man raping his nine- and eleven-year-old daughters.

The alleged mastermind of the ring, Italian Sergio Marzola, and the man-monster who raped his kids on film were arrested last year. The 92 folks picked up were mostly arrested in coordinated raids, and many have since been charged. The videos were sold online, and customers accessed them via password once they paid. Some customers "also sent requests for particular poses and even slips of paper bearing their names for 'models' in the videos to hold... Others sent underwear for them to wear and Marzola allegedly auctioned off the lingerie used in some of his shoots. Customers paid extra to be present while films were shot."

This is quite possibly the vilest thing I have heard in a long time.

All the people involved in this type of disgusting thing need to be put to death. Seriously. It makes me so sad to think of  children who are abused like this. The people who view and buy this stuff are just as guilty and should die too. I don't care how mean I sound. They are vile.

And the father of those two girls? I have no words.
