Colombian police said Thursday it has arrested one of the largest distributors of child pornography in the world.
A 27-year-old man was caught with a stash of just under 85,000 videos, the largest repository of pornography ever found in Colombia, consumed illegally by pedophiles across the globe.
The minors who appeared in the images and videos of the distributors external hard drives were in particular from Asia, Europe and Latin America.
The alleged child pornographers arrest just outside Medellin represents a significant triumph in the war on illegal cyber activity and in particular, child pornography.

Child prostitution and exploitation is an ongoing, but much under-reported, problem in Colombia.

(160,211 posts)as Colombia has been big in the US scheme to control South America, serving, as Defense Secretary Rumsfeld describes, a "lily pad" nation, from which the US can move in any direction to get tough with any perceived target in the Americas. Also known as a "forward operating base."
However tourists conduct themselves there, however many people are murdered, abused, is of no importance to our media unless it can be marked as having propaganda value to use against the left of Colombia. We get far less real information here than most people realize who don't take the time to study the problem.
The U.S. has invested over 9 billion U.S. tax-payers hard-earned dollars in Colombia since 2000, at a minimum. God only knows how much more has gone into shadowy operations we are never aware of.
How can Colombia solve this problem? Looks as if Santos' government is surely starting to try, at least. Hope they make progress.

(5,902 posts)Thank you for always keeping us up-to-date on Colombia's current events (and so much more), Judi Lynn - something which, as you pointed out, big media seldom bothers to do.
I suspect the whitewashing will only intensify if Uribe -and his narcos- return to power. The neocons have learned their lesson from their PR disaster with the juntas in the '70s and '80s: media coverage of dirty wars tends to cause them to end that much sooner, and we can't very well have that can we.

(5,902 posts)Because, much like Colombia's prostitutes, they wouldn't dare get sassy with their Johns - except that a Colombian prostitute is usually trapped in a life-or-death situation with no choice in the matter.
That's certainly not the case with these congresscritters; the more they sell themselves going in, the bigger their paycheck as lobbyists coming out (to say nothing of bribes).
