Eight Czechs charged with possession and dissemination of child pornography

After last October’s crack-down on child pornography that lead to the arrest of 40 suspects in Prague alone, police have now charged three more men with possession and dissemination of child pornography. A total of eight suspects have been charged with the crime since last October, and another ten or more may soon follow, pending results from the cybernetics office, a spokeswoman of the Prague police told the Czech news agency ČTK. Allegedly, two policemen and three employees of the Ministry of Defense are amongst those charged with possession of child pornography. In October, police raided a total of 150 homes and secured 342 computers and digital storage devices. Experts are still evaluating the secured materials.
