Moldovian arrested in crackdown on child porn website

A Moldovian national was arrested at his rented home in Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Thab Sakae district on Tuesday over accusations that he had reaped benefits from a website that earned Bt123 million per year from feeding child pornographic materials to others, police told a press conference in Bangkok on Wednesday.

 

The arrest of the 30-year-old suspect, Serghei Cependiuc, was the result of cooperation between the Thai police and their Netherlands counterparts, Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) commander Pol Maj-General Worawat Watnakhonbancha said. 

 

 

The joint investigation found a website providing services in uploading and downloading audio and video files of child pornographic materials to customers who were required to pay US$19.95 (Bt635) per month, he said. 

 

The investigation found that the website earned around US$3.8 million (Bt123 million) and a Dominica-registered company was running it while Cependiuc was identified as one of the website’s administrators, he said. An arrest warrant was issued for Cependiuc, who has been in and out of Thailand since 2009 and has a Thai wife. He was arrested along with allegedly 18 items of evidence. 

 

 

Police investigation so far has found that Cependiuc served as the website’s administrator to manage data and materials – all of which were of foreign girls. Police said there was no Thai victim or Thai accomplice. Worawat said Cependiuc would face prosecution in Thailand. 

 

Netherland police technology crime suppression commander Gert Ras said his agency had first investigated the website and then contacted the Thai police after locating one of the culprits was living in Thailand.

 

 

Besides the operation that netted Cependiuc in southern Thailand and the Netherlands police closing the website, another related operation was conducted in Bulgaria, resulting in the arrest of website administrator and Moldovian national Alexander Osadcii. 

 

It was suspected that tens of thousands people were involved in uploading child pornographic video clips onto this website, he added.

Good. Track back the credit card payments and jail every single one of the perverts buying this sick shit. I don't personally care where they get prosecuted, simply that they are.

Unbeleivable, but it says that "tens of thousands of people were uploading child porn on to that site", all probably from various countries and possibly for some monetary gain. Going to be one hell of a job finding and bringing them all to justice. What is the world coming to??

This is one of those crimes that we hope is committed by only a few disturbed individuals, but it is becoming clear that this is actually a somewhat popular genre of porn.  It's not uncommon to see adult businessmen on subway trains in Japan reading pre-teen school girl porn "comic books" right out in the open.  They make no effort to hide it.  If that's what's happening in public, I can't imagine what's going on in private.  Porn Hub reports that globally, words like teen and hentai are always in the top ten list of search terms.

 

Clearly there is a demand.

Hardly seems credible, and probably isn't. Most likely teen selfie videos lifted from social media sites, and then traded. Certainly illegal [if the girl is under 18] nonetheless. Not forgetting whoever is making the video is also breaking the law.

I read on a post on one of the big national thai newspapers something like:

 

"According to the news reports in dutch papers, they took 87 servers in the Netherlands off-line and confiscated the IP-addresses of approximately 50,000 paying visitors in 119 countries.

Actually, It's a file sharing site, similar to rapidshare, 1fichier, or uploaded. Plenty of regular movies or series on it. It seems they were closing their eyes about the type of content that was uploaded.
