Canada child porn

[Jazzy]

Police in Toronto say 341 people have been arrested and nearly 400 children rescued in a three-year investigation into a child pornography ring.

At the centre of the inquiry was a Toronto-based firm that allegedly sold DVDs and streamed videos of naked boys in Germany, Romania and Ukraine.

Azov Films marketed the footage as "naturist" and claimed they were legal in Canada and the US.

The films were distributed in 94 countries, police said.

Some 100 arrests were made in Canada and 240 in other countries during the investigation codenamed Project Spade, Toronto police said in a press release.

The head of the company, identified as Canadian Brian Way, 42, has been in custody since his arrest in May 2011, following an undercover operation.

He is charged with 11 different offences including possession of, and import and export, of child pornography.

The Toronto Police Service Child Exploitation Section (TPS) was able to determine the identities of the customers from the Azov Films website.

That's a lot of children and I'm glad they were able to rescue them. You have to think, however, the long term affects this is going to have on them. I hope they will have some type of counselling available for them.

Glad they were able to save those kids from further exploitation. I hope all kids in a similar situation get saved from this filth as well.
