Dutch and Australian police with help from the FBI have cracked down on one of the world’s largest child pornography websites arresting hundreds of suspects, a Dutch newspaper reported on Wednesday. Dubbed “Operation Kidslove”, the 18-month investigation has so far seen 303 arrests, including in Australia, Colombia, the Netherlands, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, the authoritative centre-left daily Volkskrant said.
The real name of the child pornography website remains unknown as the probe is continuing, the paper said. Dutch police could not immediately be reached for comment. “At least 106 victims have also been traced. Most of them are younger than 12 years,” it added. Australian police arrested the ringleader, a 33-year-old man only identified as Shannon M.
