Toronto cops on child porn case

"TORONTO — In the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina is a little girl who owes her life -- perhaps literally -- to seven Toronto police officers.

They are members of the child exploitation branch of the force's sex crimes unit, and last December, they managed to extract information enough from a collection of searing child-porn images posted on an international police website to identify the six-year-old's school.

By zeroing in on a wristband the child wore in some of the pictures, a badge on her girl scout uniform and a deliberately blurred-out logo on a T-shirt she wore under a school jumper, the Toronto squad was able to narrow the search first to the Raleigh-Durham area, and ultimately, by cross-checking with school uniform manufacturers in the area, to direct officers from the local Federal Bureau of Investigation office to the right address.

This week, in Raleigh, acting United States Attorney George Holding announced that Brian Tod Schellenberger, 41, of Cary, N.C., has been indicted by a grand jury.

He faces four counts of child exploitation and one of possession of child pornography in connection with his alleged coercion into the child-porn business of not one, but two, underage children."


It's shit like this that gets me though:
"There, he found a new collection of 450 of the worst images he says he's ever seen, and which the FBI has since classified as one of the most degrading it has seized, both in size and in content (Mr. Schellenberger allegedly had several hundred thousand child porn images on his computer when arrested).

He allegedly belonged to a super-secret small group of pornographers who produce and view what has come to be called "hurt-core porn" because the images involve children under the age of 13 who are being physically battered.

Det. Sgt. Gillespie's rescued little girl, for example, was seen being beaten, urinated and defecated on, sodomized, forced into oral sex, degraded by having such slogans as "Kill me I'm a slut" written on her body and kept in a dog cage.

"It was the dog cage that really got me," Det. Sgt. Gillespie told The Globe. "She was obviously in pain, those poor brown eyes looking up at you.""


Fucked up I tell you. Read the article for more info.
