In Dnipropetrovsk region, six criminals convicted of creating and distributing child pornography have received their deserved punishment. This case, which has lasted over a decade, reveals shocking details about an organization that specialized in sexual abuse of children for profit, as reported by "Vidomo" referencing "Svoї".
Back in the early 2000s, one of the suspects, an active participant in pedophile internet forums, conceived the idea of establishing a criminal enterprise focused on the production and distribution of child pornography. His initiative resonated with five accomplices — two men and three women. A horrifying aspect of this case is that the women, being mothers, allowed their own children, aged between 3 to 12 years, to be sexually assaulted.
For a decade, at least six minors were subjected to regular sexual abuse, their suffering was recorded on video cameras and turned into merchandise to satisfy the twisted desires of pedophiles.
The scale of the crimes is staggering. During searches conducted by law enforcement agencies, nearly 1,000 video files containing child pornography were seized.
The trial of the six criminals was complex and prolonged. Three of them were sentenced to lengthy prison terms: 8, 13, and 15 years respectively. The other three appealed their sentences, but the Supreme Court upheld the rulings.
