International team makes biggest online pedophilia bust

640 the number of suspects identified so far, in what international law enforcement is calling the biggest bust of a pedophile group in history
230 the number of children that international law enforcement have positively identified as having been abused by the group source

» Hats off to the good guys! Authorities believe that the online assemblage of pedophiles had about 70,000 users at its peak. The team that engineered this bust, led by U.K. investigators, took months to advance as the proprietor of the website had sophisticated security measures in place to avoid detection (although if you’re looking to keep your monstrosities clandestine, “The Internet BoyLove Directory” seems like a rather bold title). The Netherlands-based server that was hosting the website is now cooperating with authorities, making it likely that the ringleader of all this will face the justice his crimes have richly earned.
