One hundred people have been arrested as part of an undercover sting investigation into the largest known commercial child pornography business ever uncovered, U.S. government officials said today.
The two-year investigation began with Mudslide Productions Inc., an Ontario, Canada, company owned by Gary S. Tomiuck. Authorities said the company was at the center of an international child pornography business that distributed lewd pictures of children having sex to subscribers over the Internet.
The porn sites were run by operators in Russia and Indonesia. Warrants have been issued for their arrest.
The Reedys were charged in an 89-count federal indictment with conspiracy to distribute and possession of child pornography.
