Dozens Charged In Child Porn Case In NYC Area

NEW YORK (AP) -- A five-week investigation has resulted in charges against at least 70 men and one woman in the New York City area in what officials called one of the largest-ever roundups locally of people who anonymously trade child porn over the Internet.

The defendants include a police chief, a paramedic, a rabbi and a Boy Scout leader. Federal officials planned to announce the arrests at a news conference later Wednesday.

Authorities say advances in technology and computer capacity have allowed child-porn collectors to more easily amass vast troves of disturbing images and to exchange files with each other directly. The New York effort resulted in the seizure of nearly 600 desktop and laptop computers, tablets, smartphones and other devices containing a total of 175 terabytes of storage.

They need to do an investigation here on the shore, but they won't. It would catch too many of the big shots, business owners, politicians, and cops! There are a lot of creeps living amongst us!

10:40 They like to sweep that under the rug. Throw in doctors and church staffs. And everyone wants to focus on the gays... it's the equivalent of watch what this hand is doing, while the other is off doing something else.
