New York, NY -- A whopping 26 people have been arrested on child porn charges in New York City in connection to a massive operation involving several law enforcement agencies.
The Manhattan DA’s Office of Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau, with help from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations Child Exploitation Group, used special technology to observe transactions made on peer-to-peer networks. Before any of you go spouting off about Big Brother, let’s take a look at how close some of these people were to children, and just how extensive and horrifying the cumulative collection was. Then you can tell me these animals have rights.
Of the suspects arrested, two were National Guard members. There was a banker, a business man and an architect. One was a butcher (no word on any bakers or candlestick makers) and another a bartender. Scarier still were the maintenance worker, handyman and building super. There was Joshua Ruiz the substitute teacher (pictured), a college student, even and 18 year-old in high school. One worked in a children’s shoe store. There’s a fun graphic with ages and occupations here.
Of all arrested, 29 year-old Miguel Caraballo may just take the cake. Caraballo was a dishwasher at a place called ‘Alice’s Tea Cup’, a theme restaurant for children based on the works of Lewis Carroll. The author of Through the Looking Glass was believed to also be a pedophile, which makes the notion of a restaurant based on his works seem as good an idea as a Torah School centered around the early paintings of Adolf Hitler. Police say Caraballo kept his kiddie porn neatly organized by age, with folders apparently marked ’1 years-old’ and so on.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. says the suspects were “…curators of their collections who carefully labeled, sorted and shared their cache…” and that they “…traded images of child sexual assault the way that others trade baseball cards.” Vance further states that the tens of thousands of images and videos were so varied “…you could choose an age and a sex act, and it would be in these files.” Vance said this goes beyond pornography “These are babies, toddlers and children being brutally raped, sexually assaulted and exploited by adults on camera.”
17 of the defendants have already been indicted, 8 have been arraigned. All cases are eligible for the sex offender registry treatment.
