Massive Child Porn Take-Down in Spain

Kudos to the Spanish Police. This news is welcome.

Spanish police have seized 48 million images and videos and arrested 66 people in a child pornography investigation, police said on Sunday.

Acting alongside Interpol, police tracked 5,000 downloads of pornographic material from archives located on servers in Germany.

The investigation, which started in September, found 85 computer users downloading the images leading to 66 arrests in different regions of Spain. Those arrested include architects, psychologists, doctors, lawyers and child sport coaches.

It's presently not clear whether those arrested merely downloaded the kiddie porn or whether they were also involved in production. Nevertheless, the quantity of child porn confiscated along with the fact that those involved represent all segments of society is ominous. One must conclude that all societies are infected with people agreeable to child sexual abuse. It would be negligent to believe it's only the Spaniards.
