71 Arrested in Child Porn Sting

Dozens of New Yorkers, including a Queens police officer and a Brooklyn rabbi, have been arrested and charged with possession, production and distribution of child pornography. Authorities are calling it the largest such operation ever in the state.
Special Agent James Hayes, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements Homeland Security Investigations, said officers found tens of thousands of images shared on peer-to-peer networks.
Hayes called the crimes hideous, depraved and shocking. He added that perpetrators arent just stereotypical drifters they come from all walks of life.
"They worked as nurses, paramedics, caretakers for mentally ill adults, computer programmers and architects, he said. One was an airline pilot and one was a police officer.
The five-week operation yielded 71 arrests. Hundreds of devices, including laptops, tablets and smart phones were seized. Authorities said they expect additional charges against those arrested after their devices are examined.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said the crimes lead to repeat victimization.
Each time that one of those recordings of a violent sexual assault is downloaded and viewed by a stranger over the internet, that child is being victimized all over again, he said.
Vance is also urging state legislators to increase the penalties for possession and promotion of child pornography.

(5,082 posts)DUers should read The Franklin Cover-Up by Neb. State Sen. John DeCamp with forward by exCIA Director William Colby and the Franklin Scandal by reputable Oprah author and child advocate Nick Bryant. Links are made to Cheney and Bush Sr and pedophilia and occult rituals. Mind boggling stuff. There was a BBC documentary called Conspiracy Of Silence about the same group of abused kids and high level politicians and businessmen. Sandusky was just the tip of the iceberg who got caught before kids could be disappeared. Although DA Gricar who was investigating him did disappear 2005.

(53,661 posts)Quite a bit of information there. Here is some more, the investigation took a long time and the NYPD and the Department of Homeland Security found enough to make a case.
The NY Daily News posted a story on it:

Do you live in NYC?
I'm only asking because I don't know how many people watch WABC or read AP stories in NYC. Also, I don't watch any television, period.
I don't know if the NY Daily News has a large circulation in NYC. I'd have no idea if it is blacked out in NYC or not. I did not find the same title listed with the NYT, NY Post or the Wall Street Journal, although I'm not sure that local crime is something they focus upon.
I don't know who the big news source are there, just the NYT and NYPost and the Wall Street Journal.
You'e the best one to tell us if this is being kept under wraps. I'm wondering who is refusing to cover it.
This group may have been involved. They seem to want to be anonymous in order to carry out their work on child abuse:

This may be the same group that is composed of severely disabled veterans who were trained to go into computer sytems and find these child abusers. I saw a video and a posted a news story on them. They are extremely dedicated to this as their as their new 'mission.'

Do we honestly expect this vile sub-culture to be composed of the homeless, the unemployed, and the infirm??????????? OF COURSE it will comprise people (mostly men) with careers, computers, and the comforts of home.
