headline: Canadian police crack global paedophile ring

Halifax, Nova Scotia (NS), Canada: Canadian police said on Wednesday
they had infiltrated a network of international paedophiles, culminating
in raids and arrests in Canada, in addition to earlier raids in
Australia, the United States, Germany and Britain, as part of Operation
Achilles. Raids and arrests were executed by Halifax police at the
internet service provider Chebucto Community Net and the residents of
its directors.

Operation Achilles, which was coordinated by the FBI in the United
States, began in January 2006 and ended on February 29, 2008, with
police staging raids around the world.

Canadian police said the international covert operation uncovered 2,500
"customers" in nineteen countries and thousands of computers, videos and
photographs were seized. In a large number of cases, more than a million
files and pictures were found.

"It will be alleged that the network traded images depicting the violent
sexual abuse of children globally, including having children sexually
abused live and on demand for the benefit of its members," said Halifax
police in a statement.

More than forty children were rescued from sexually abusive situations,
and twenty-two members of the paedophile network were arrested.

Police also closed four commercial child sex websites and arrested more
than 100 people for allegedly purchasing child sex material.

"It has been the most significant infiltration of an international child
exploitation network by a law enforcement agency, anywhere in the world.
The major challenge for this investigation was to unravel the intricate
web that networked offenders had weaved to protect themselves,
incorporating strict guidelines, rules and encryption," said Cst Tina
Rhoads of Halifax police's sexual crimes squad.

The following suspects were charged, arraigned and granted bail, and
shall appear in the Halifax Courthouse, at 5250 Spring Garden Road, on
June 18.
