Police powerless to shut down porn ring targeting schoolgirls

Police urge anyone who believed their photo had been posted to the site to contact police.

Law enforcement authorities may be powerless to shut down an online chat forum distributing hundreds of graphic images of non-consenting schoolgirls and women across the country, reports The Daily Telegraph.

Students at more than 30 state and private schools in NSW have been caught up in the pornography ring which sees men and boys trade images of images of women they are “tracking” – one user even offered 300 nudes photos in return for a lewd picture of one girl he was interested in.

Detectives from the Sex Crimes Squad’s child exploitation internet unit said yesterday they were liaising with local and international authorities but have not been successful in bringing down the foreign-based website.

Police urge anyone who believed their photo had been posted to the site to contact police.
