Germany busts Elysium child sex abuse website (87,000 members)
BBC ^

Posted on 07/06/2017 4:16:22 PM PDT by TigerClaws

German police have busted a child sex abuse site on the dark web where images and videos were exchanged.

The secret Elysium website had 87,000 members and was launched on the internet in December, prosecutors say.

The suspected ringleader, a 39-year-old man, was arrested in the state of Hesse. The forum was also used to make appointments to abuse children.

Police seized the website's server. They found that toddlers were among the children sexually abused, reports say.

The chief suspect was arrested at his home in the Limburg-Weilburg area north of Frankfurt on 12 June.

He has been linked not only to spreading videos and images of child sex abuse but is also suspected of carrying out acts of serious sexual abuse.

What is the dark web?

Several suspected users of the site have been arrested in Germany and Austria.

Three were held in Germany and another 14 were detained in Austria, according to local reports. Prosecutors were due to give further details on Friday.

The website only appeared on the dark web at the end of last year but attracted tens of thousands in a matter of months.

Sites on the dark web are not visible through normal search engines, and while there are many legitimate uses for it, it has become a magnet for online criminal activity. Related

😡. I loathe these miscreants 💩. Makes you wonder where the lists will lead. Maybe a particular island off Florida?

Part. Part. Most definitely not the completion, and an aggravating tendency of conservatives at this point is to moralize, pat themselves on the back, and walk off.

My interest would be in, what got the ring such a following? Without customers, there would be nobody to vend the evil to.

And when God is getting His ducks lined up in a row, watch and listen for the shot. God doesn’t want us to forget about salvation as HIS initiative not ours.

Well, none of the ruling elite will be prosecuted, save for a designated sacrifice.

“LIBs” are truly walking oxymorons. They steal more than they give because they court the curse, not the blessing.

Also, how many of the users went beyond the pictures and videos, and made physical contact with the child victims.

Most homosexuals were sexually abused as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve better access to YOUR children.

Don’t believe it?

Ask the 87,000 pedophiles in this German bust.

And to see, in the wrong spiritual posture, is the start of lust driven acquisition. Ask David of the bible. But David can also testify that the situation is not unrecoverable.

The grace of God accepted will stop this horrible domino-topple event, however.

If voyeurism will sell on the web by word of mouth... Why not salvational messages? Skip morality messages. People are too far gone for that to help. Don’t patch the rotted roof. Rebuild it.

Or Adam Schiff who insists Trump is guilty of collusion with the Russians and guilty of obstructon. If that’s the way he wants to think, then we should ask how Adam is involved in the sex abuse website. I mean hey, who needs evidence, right? I want to know how long Adam Schiff was involved in this pedo website, how many toddlers he abused.

Sounds to me like reasonable questions. They need to be asked. I would also like to know if the NYT had anything to do in supporting the site.
