Australian police have swooped and made 90 arrests following an international investigation of a
child porn ring. Those arrested include”respectable” teachers and youth workers. Thousands of images of mainly Eastern European and Russian children were found downloaded on offended on the child porn offenders PC’s
Apparently the Police tracked offenders down using primarily IP addresses. So these people aren’t just perverted - they’re stupid! Its extremely easy to change your IP address: disconnect your cable modem for 10 minutes. Or surf using proxies to obscure your identity - like hello people child porn has been illegal in Australia for a long time! This of course is the tip of the iceberg: the ring is obviously not restricted to Australia and arrests are expected in the US and the UK. You wonder how many they missed - or perhaps technical incompetence and sexual perversion go together?
