The operation — whose details remain largely secret — was at least the third time in recent years that FBI agents took control of a child pornography site but left it online in an attempt to catch users who officials said would otherwise remain hidden behind an encrypted and anonymous computer network. In each case, the FBI infected the sites with software that punctured that security, allowing agents to identify hundreds of users.
The Justice Department acknowledged in court filings that the FBI operated the site, known as Playpen, from Feb. 20 to March 4, 2015. At the time, the site had more than 215,000 registered users and included links to more than 23,000 sexually explicit images and videos of children, including more than 9,000 files that users could download directly from the FBI. Some of the images described in court filings involved children barely old enough for kindergarten.

This story is literally the very definition of entrapment by an out-of-control and immoral government.
ReplyDeleteWhat?????? You cannot be serious.
DeleteMaybe someone needs to look at your computer.
Who has sinned more:
ReplyDeleteThe viewer of porn?
Or, the provider of said porn?
That's just bizarre.
ReplyDeleteThe eyes are the windows to the soul. Once seen you cannot erase the image on your soul. So sad.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at child porn you are a pedophile period. The F.B.I. did not entrap anyone Chip. You solicited a child on line for sex. The problem was the child was 35 year old cop. That is not entrapment that is a pedophile getting busted. Keep crying lol. No one convinced these turds to look at children.
ReplyDeleteI say hang every pedophile once they have a taste for kids it will not be cured.
If they took one child molester off the street it's win.
ReplyDelete6:14 Get real. They seized a website that people voluntarily visited and busted them. Not entrapment, and you should be committed and searched, as you are probably one of them.
ReplyDelete8:36 that is a scientific fact! They cannot be cured.
