Florida men charged in 'truly heinous' global child porn ring involving over 1M files

Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrest 7 in Florida for an international child pornography ring involving over 1M files purchased through social media.

One undercover agent working the case was able to purchase 6.7 terabytes of child pornography, comprising roughly 1.2 million videos and pictures, according to Special Agent in Charge Mark Brutnell.

 "It’s disgusting that child sexual abuse material is advertised in plain view on apps such as TikTok, and we will continue fighting to get these major social media companies to do their part in shutting down the spread of this material. I’m grateful for our FDLE partners who uncovered this deviant network and highlighted their sickening actions. Our Statewide Prosecutors will ensure these disgusting criminals face justice," said Attorney General James Uthmeier.
