Today in Crime & Punishment

By Brad

Via the Huffington Post, a bit of good news:

Federal prosecutors say they are working with police in several countries to investigate suspects in a child pornography “social networking site” that at one point had more than 1,000 members trading explicit images.

U.S. authorities announced Wednesday that they had broken up the international online child porn site, saying more than 50 people had been arrested in more than 50 states since the 2008 start of the investigation. They said they are also seeking the extradition of several suspects from overseas, including the alleged ringleader, Delwin Savigar, who is serving a 14-year prison term in England for sexually assaulting three underage girls.
