FBI Ran Pedophile Ring to Nab Pedophiles
by Elizabeth Sheld30 May 2013, 8:24 AM PDT

As late as last year, the FBI ran a child pornography operation in an attempt to nab its customers. The service ran for two weeks "while attempting to identify more than 5,000 customers, according to a Seattle FBI agent's statements to the court."

Court records indicate the site continued to distribute child pornography online while under FBI control; the Seattle-based special agent, a specialist in online crimes against children, detailed the investigation earlier this month in a statement to the court.

The methods used in the child pornography ring depart from traditional investigations, "historically, child pornography investigations stem from tips made to law enforcement, interactions with undercover officers posing as customers or reviews of documentation seized during searches of child porn clearinghouses like the one recently raided in Nebraska."

The Bureau seized a website referred to as "Website A" on November 16, 2012. It operated until it was shut down on December 2 and at the time, it had more than 5,600 users and 24,000 posts. "At least 10,000 photos of children being posed nude, raped or otherwise abused were broadcast through the site."

Discussions ranged from how to avoid detection by police and "how to lure a child in my car." Agents were unable to identify users through the service records, so the site was allowed to continue in order to gain more information about the patrons.

    Postal Inspectors have a "unit" that spends it's time watching kiddie porn. I'm not sure how it helps catch the culprits but it takes a "special" person to watch that stuff all day every day.

    So the FBI is engaging in child pornography now. Is there no end to the laws our government will break? Next thing we know our government will be handing out guns to Mexican cartels. Oh wait a minute, they already did that.

    Not that I am trying to side with sicko's here.....I fully, 100% agree they should be hanged....but isnt this entrapment? I mean, the FBI putting kiddie porn on the net to temp sicko's to watch it.......
    I dont know about that.....its wrong in more ways than one. I think the danger of temping these sickos to commit more crimes outweights any danger that they might have without FBI involvement. It may seem the ends justify the means....but it really doesnt.


    And what agent in his right mind would want to be the one who actually had to upload this sick garbage?

    Just my thoughts.

    My biggest problem with a pedophile is that it never stops, childrens lives continue to be ruined as long as the pedophile is on the outside of prison walls or above the grass. I'm tempted to say "Do whatever it takes to get them off the streets." But that makes me no better than a gun grabbing lib/commie who thinks ignoring the Constitution is no problem.

    If a man is exposed to a massive diet of child porn in the effort to get rid of pedophiles, is it possible to leave that at the "office"??

    The FBI is as sick an the pedos are. Once it is out there on the internet you cannot get it back. The FBI is putting kiddie porn out there. What about the little kids in this kiddie porn? Sickassed FBI pedophiles.

    Somehow I doubt this is the end of this story.

    The FBI has an incredible ability to counter this...... I guess I'd just say, SINK THE HOOK!!!!

    No. Entrapment involves getting someone to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. Merely putting out bait avoids that. Now, if the FBI was providing instructions for how not to get caught or how to take certain photos or making odd requests for photos then they have that problem. As it stands the problem they have is they are sick whacked-out perverts who need their johnson removed and fed to them.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I think that several of you misunderstand what happened. The F.B.I. DIDN'T put anything on the net, they raided and took over a kiddie porn site that was ALREADY OPERATING and then let it stay up for 2 weeks to try and catch as many of the users as they could. The material was already on the site or was posted by the users, not the F.B.I..
