Following an undercover operation, police on Wednesday arrested 12 men suspected of involvement in an online pedophile ring
The investigation began in March, after the parents of a twelve-year-old girl discovered that she had been in contact with several men on the Internet who had requested that she send them nude photos of herself in sexually suggestive poses.
Police said they found child pornography photos and videos on some of the suspects’ computers.
Central District Police Commander Bentzi Sau promised “no leniency for these offenders” and asked parents to be aware of what their children were doing, even when surfing the Internet at home.
