Hundreds arrested as Canadian police smash worldwide paedophile ring Network of child porn allegedly started in Toronto sex-film business David Usborne David Usborne is US Editor of The Independent. New York Thursday 14 November 2013 A giant paedophile ring with a worldwide reach was broken apart during a three-year inquiry which led to the arrests of hundreds of individuals, including clergymen and teachers, and the rescue of nearly 400 children who were at risk, Canadian police have revealed. In one of the biggest such operations ever seen, investigators uncovered an octopus-like child-porn network centred on a now-shuttered sex-film business in Toronto. Its tentacles extended across Canada, where 108 people have been taken into custody, and to six continents. In the US, 76 people were arrested while others have been rounded up in several European countries. While the investigation, Project Spade, was led by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), it was pursued with the collaboration of the US Postal Inspection Service and law enforcement agencies in Sweden, Spain, Mexico, Australia, South Africa and Hong Kong, officials said. While it is not the first such ring to be uncovered, it is the identities of some of those accused of consuming and helping to create the material that will attract attention. “The arrests included 40 schoolteachers, nine doctors and nurses, 32 people who volunteered with children, six law-enforcement personnel, nine pastors or priests and three foster parents,” said inspector Joanna Beavan-Desjardins. Accused of being at the ring’s hub is a Toronto resident identified as Brian Way, 42. Police alleged that Mr Way, as the owner of Azov Films, solicited and distributed on a global basis vast volumes of videos featuring underage and usually naked boys, as well as criminal sex acts. Investigators who raided Azov Films in 2011 found hundreds of thousand of the images featuring “horrific acts of sexual abuse – some of the worst they have seen”, added Ms Beavan-Desjardins, who heads the Toronto police sex crimes unit. As it unfolded, the investigation triggered 341 arrests around the world and the taking into care of 386 children. Some of those arrested have already pleaded guilty and are behind bars, while others are still before the courts. Mr Way is charged with 24 offences including making, possessing, distributing, exporting and selling the explicit images of boys, said to range in age from toddlers to teenagers. The Toronto Star newspaper, which said it had been granted exclusive background access to Project Spade, reported that clients of Mr Way in Canada alone included an Ontario ice-hockey coach, a Toronto teacher, a priest, a Scout leader in Quebec and a retired high?school headmaster in Nova Scotia. Mr Way himself is in custody and faces a first preliminary court hearing in December. The sweep of arrests worldwide began after investigators viewed more than 100 of Azov’s films and cross-referenced online purchases of those titles with people on a customer list found at Mr Way’s premises. His business is alleged to have made $4m in revenues. Customers could visit the home page of a website with a top 10 of the most popular movies and purchase them as if it were Amazon. The films were made with video clips allegedly sent to Mr Way by collaborators around the world. Films viewed by police included sequences of naked boys shot in Romania, Ukraine and Germany. “This is a crime which is hidden, and which without this kind of operation we can put to the light,” Spain’s chief inspector Luis Garcia told the Toronto Star. “We can find hands-on abuse, and we could never have known about this in any other way.” Forty-two people have been investigated in Spain and 19 children rescued. - 1 DC Comics pulls 'controversial' Batgirl variant Joker cover after online protests - 2 Boy awakes from coma addicted to cheese and swearing - 3 FGM: New NHS rules mean women with genital piercings will be recorded as suffering female genital mutilation - 4 Young girl writes letter to classmate saying she may not be allowed to attend her birthday party because she is black - 5 Solar eclipse will be the beginning of the end of the world, say Christian pastors New genetic map of Britain shows successive waves of immigration going back 10,000 years Young girl writes letter to classmate saying she may not be allowed to attend her birthday party because she is black Life under Isis: Sunnis face an even bleaker future in Iraq if the militants' reign of terror is finally defeated Solar eclipse will be the beginning of the end of the world, say Christian pastors Kim Jong-un's slave army: UN to probe claims of 20,000 North Korean 'bonded labourers' shipped round the world Earth has exceeded four of the nine limits for hospitable life, scientist claims Vladimir Putin says Russia was preparing to use nuclear weapons 'if necessary' and blames US for Ukraine crisis Solar eclipse will be the beginning of the end of the world, say Christian pastors American scientists are trying to genetically modify human eggs Israel is supposedly the only democracy in the Middle East, yet 4.5 million Palestinians under its control can't vote Rachel Reeves says Labour does not want to represent people out of work Crowdfunding: The end-end solution for business success.

- Objavljeno 15. 11. 2013. - Kategorije - Tagovi - Hina/Gadgeterija Učitelji, treneri i liječnici uhićeni u istrazi dječje pornografije Više od 300 osoba, među kojima su učitelji, treneri i liječnici, uhićeno je u svijetu zbog raspačavanja i kupovine dječje pornografije nakon istrage pokrenute i vođene iz Kanade. Policija u Torontu je u četvrtak priopćila da je uhićeno 348 osoba, od kojih 108 u Kanadi, 76 u SAD-u i 164 u drugim zemljama od Španjolske do Australije, nakon trogodišnje istrage tvrtke iz Toronta koja je distribuirala pornografiju s djecom. ‘Istražitelje je zabrinuo broj uhićenih koji su bili u bliskom dodiru s djecom. Među uhićenima je 40 školskih učitelja, devet liječnika i medicinskih sestara, 32 osobe koje su volontirale u radu s djecom, šest pripadnika snaga reda, devet pastora ili svećenika i tri udomitelja’, rekla je na konferenciji za tisak Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, koja u policiji Toronta vodi odjel za seksualne zločine. Istraga u kojoj je sudjelovalo oko 30 policija, među kojima policije Australije, Španjolske, Irske, Grčke, Južne Afrike, Hong Konga, Meksika, Norveške i SAD-a, dovela je do spašavanja 386 djece do kojih većina još nije u pubertetu, rekla je. Policija je počela istraživati aktivnosti tvrtke Azovfilms.com iz Toronta i njezinog vlasnika Briana Waya u listopadu 2010. a poštanska istražna služba SAD-a pomogla je pretražiti bazu podataka tvrtke kako bi se došlo i od proizvođača i do konzumenata pornografije, rekla je Beaven-Desjardins. Internetska stranica Azovfilmsa je zatvorena. Među ljudima koji su slikali djecu je trener juniorske baseball momčadi u državi Washington koji je napravio više od 500 filmova i zaposlenik škole u Georgiji koji je postavio kameru u učeničku kupaonicu kako bi slikao genitalije đaka, rekao je inspektor Gerald O’Farrell iz poštanske istražne službe SAD-a. U istrazi je nađeno više do 350.000 slika i 9000 video snimaka seksualnog zlostavljanja djece a uhićenja se nastavljaju, rekla je Beaven-Desjardins.
