U.S. Customs Cracks Parental Pedophile Ring

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. and European law-enforcement officials have cracked a ring of pedophile parents who sexually abused their children and traded photographs over the Internet, the U.S. Customs Service said on Friday.

The cross-border sweep resulted in 20 arrests and removed 45 children aged 2 to 14 from abusive parents, Customs officials said. More arrests were likely, they said.
