‘US and European police have shut down the largest global pedophile ring after hacking its website and arresting nearly 900 of its members following a two-year investigation.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Europol made the announcement Friday after a court sentenced Florida-based Steven Chase, founder of the so-called Playpen pedophilia network, to 30 years in prison.
The police are said to have arrested 870 people during the investigation into the group’s members around the globe that began after Chase’s arrest back in 2014.
Officials said 368 of those arrested were from Europe. The investigation also identified at least 259 sexually abused children.’
