Austria Busts Global Child Porn Ring Involving Over 2,360 Suspects

Wednesday, February 07, 2007

VIENNA, Austria — Austrian authorities said Wednesday they have uncovered a major international child pornography ring involving more than 2,360 suspects from 77 countries, including hundreds in the United States, who paid to view videos of young children being sexually abused.

The children were under the age of 14 and screams could be heard, said Harald Gremel, an Austrian police expert on Internet crime who headed the investigation.

Interior Minister Guenther Platter said the FBI was investigating about 600 of the suspects in the United States. German authorities were following leads on another 400 people, France was looking into about 100 others, and at least 23 suspects were Austrians, he said.

Platter said videos downloaded from the Internet and seized by Austria's Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau included images that showed "the worst kind of child sexual abuse."

Gremel said "girls could be seen being raped, and you could also hear screams." Although officials initially said the children ranged in ages from "0 to 14," Gremel later said no infants were seen in the videos.....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250624,00.html

I've got my hammer and nails. Where do we go to help build the hangman's platform?

[Rhino]

I got room in my yard.

[CountryGent]

What this Country needs is a Devil's Island to ship all these scumbags to. Let the damn UN run the facility at no cost to the US taxpayers.:D

[buckeyepete]

Yea, Country. You got that right. But, lets just take them 1/2 way and let them walk the rest of the way with cement filled waders.

Interior Minister Guenther Platter said the FBI was investigating about 600 of the suspects in the United States. How many of these "suspects" will turn out to be priests, cops, Little League coaches, teachers, and other people you trust your kids with every day?

Makes no difference what profession these scumbags occupy. They deserve to be rounded up and executed post haste IMO.:thumb:

[DesertFox]

How many of these "suspects" will turn out to be priests, cops, Little League coaches, teachers, and other people you trust your kids with every day? Approximately 34.21755%

[Wolfcounsel]

I calculate 48%.

[DeclinetoState]

No matter how many they catch, they're probably only the tip of the iceberg.

[buckeyepete]

Global Warming should take care of the rest of them then?

You forgot scout leaders, nuns, principals and even military officers.
I dont think there is one area of occupation these sickos will not dig into.

As far as punishment goes.

Well we could do it like they did in 'Treasure of Sierra Madre'. Make them dig the hole before getting shot in the head and this way the executioner only has to bury them without having to dig the hole themselfs.

[DeclinetoState]

You forgot scout leaders, nuns, principals and even military officers.I didn't mean for my examples to be exhaustive.
I dont think there is one area of occupation these sickos will not dig into.Nope.

:(

[DesertFox]

You also forgot ditch diggers, the homeless, politicians, burger flippers and dog catchers.

[DeclinetoState]

DF, what have you got against ditch diggers and the homeless that would make you include them with politicians? :yuck:

[Air-Warrior]

Do the eurolibs stop and listen to themselves?

Platter said videos downloaded from the Internet and seized by Austria's Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau included images that showed "the worst kind of child sexual abuse."

...as if there was a "best kind" of child sexual abuse.

[MrSanity]

That's one heck of a bust.

[Air-Warrior]

That's one heck of a bust.Tip of the iceberg no doubt.

[DeclinetoState]

Were any of the Austrian suspects living in that town with the name that's a vulgar word in English?

[Riverboat]

No matter how many they catch, they're probably only the tip of the iceberg.It's depressing. I watch To Catch a Predator every week, and I'm astonished at how brazen that vermin is. There's never an end to them. I remember watching one dude come back AGAIN! Keep in mind these folks watch TV, too, and yet they figure they can get away with it. And that's just one city out of thousands.

We've got plenty of rope. We just need a legal system willing to pull the lever on them.

"We've got plenty of rope. We just need a legal system willing to pull the lever on them." --Riverboat

Nope. I'm against pulling the lever. Just place the noose on their necks and yank them up. Let the scumbags entertain the people watching with their version of the death macarena.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

[DeclinetoState]

We just need a legal system willing to pull the lever on them.Not much chance of that with the ACLU around.
