Children Resued From Pornographers

According to an article on CNN.com, 170 people have been arrested as a result of a major international operation targeting child pornographers:

So far, Operation Joint Hammer has rescued 11 girls in the United States, ages 3 to 13, who were sexually abused by child pornography producers, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey and representatives of the European Union said at the Justice Department Friday.

Dozens more were located in Europe, including several young female victims in Ukraine.

Authorities found connections between producers, distributors and customers in nearly 30 countries as a single investigation grew to a global inquiry into the dark corners of brutality and child abuse.

I hope the people involved in this get thrown under the jail, and the key gets thrown away. One can only imagine how deeply scarred these little children will be for the rest of their lives.
