Massive Child-Porn Ring Busted

The 14 men allegedly behind a members-only child porn website have been arrested. The website, which had more than 27,000 subscribers, featured around 250 children, most of them boys. "Never before in the history of this agency have we identified and located this many minor victims in the course of a single child-exploitation investigation," said Daniel Ragsdale of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The ages of the boys on the site ranged from 3 to 17, and came from 39 U.S. states, as well as Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Belgium. The boys were enticed to share explicit videos of themselves through social-media networks, often by men posing as women. The website was allegedly operated by Jonathan Johnson, 27, of Louisiana.
