The FBI says it expects to arrest at least 50 more people by week’s end as it busts up an Internet child-pornography ring that allegedly included two Catholic priests, six other members of the clergy, a school bus driver and at least one police officer.
The agency said Monday its “Operation Candyman” sweep already had resulted in criminal charges against more than 89 people in 26 states. The effort targeted members of three Internet discussion groups on Yahoo Inc.’s Web site, including one called “Candyman,” apparently named after a song in the 1971 children’s movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”‘
Chilling… Priests, school bus drivers, cops… nasty business. The urge to profit from the internet is so strong that people will ignore the most basic morals.
