Spanish police, in one of its largest-ever child pornography investigations, arrested 121 people linked to the online distribution of 500 terabytes of violent and explicit pornographic material depicting minors.
Altogether, the 500 terabytes of child pornography were spread across 368 hard drives, 114 USB flash drives, 427 CDs and DVDs, 37 memory cards, 47 mobile phones, six tablets, and 60 computers, all seized by authorities. Audiovisual equipment and video cameras, allegedly used to film the child victims in sexually explicit scenarios, were also collected by the arresting officers.
Police hope that this goldmine of new evidence will aid investigators in identifying new victims of sexual abuse, as well as those associated with the 121 suspects who make up a larger network of pedophiles.
