Vaud police bust global pedophile ring


Vaud police have dismantled a worldwide pedophile network and are investigating 32 people within Switzerland.

They uncovered the IP addresses for people in at least 78 countries—including Switzerland—who are said to have been viewing child pornography on an Internet site based in Vaud. 

The cantonal police were alerted to the network by Interpol, which found files containing child pornography hidden on a Vaud website devoted to hip-hop. The owner of the site apparently knew nothing about the photos.

Swiss investigators are looking into connections in 12 cantons.
