FUCK JOHN LEGEND FLARE
" May 15 (Reuters) - German public prosecutors on Tuesday said they had brought charges against four people accused of operating an international underground child pornography website with 111,000 members.
In June, German police arrested a man suspected of operating the platform, known as "Elysium", that was launched at the end of 2016 and only accessible via surreptitious communication protocols known as the "dark net".
Frankfurt prosecutors said the suspects, aged between 40 and 62, would face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty on charges of serious sexual child abuse.
"The website had a platform with the title 'Babies & Toddlers' where members exchanged photos and video recordings of sexual abuse of children aged up to four years old," the prosecutors said in a statement.
Of the four suspects, a 62-year-old man from the Bavarian town of Landsberg am Lech was charged with serious sexual abuse of two children aged four and six whose father, an Austrian citizen, had contacted him through the platform.
The father was prosecuted separately for child abuse.
The prosecutors said an investigation into the website's users was still ongoing. (Reporting by Riham Alkousaa, Editing by William Maclean)"

So they created a patsy who tried to whistle blow.
If this was an elitist police officer being "accused" (sic), people would be dead.

I suspect they are covering their tracks, if so, the "owner" will "hang himself".
A legit operation would be to silently take it down and scrap as much user info as possible before bringing the website down. That is how they took major dnms.

This is my favorite part of this board. When child pornographers are arrested and people complain about it.
Because they are not the right kind of child pornographers.

You are an low info person, they probably arrested the least important dude who will magically kill himself even though he should be rich enough to plan his escape. Check out the dude in Greek who now has extra security in prison because they tried to assasinate him, a prpgrammer who ran a Russian money-laundering btc scheme. The programmers are forced to do these kind of stuff and are used as patsys when things go south.

Of course! These pervs are just 'ordinary decent' child molesters, not the extra nefarious sort distinguished by their taste in Italian pies, and shit modern art.
