Pedophile Ring Operating Freely in Indonesia

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Four suspected administrators of a Facebook group containing pornographic photos and videos were shown by the Jakarta Police cyber team to the media on Tuesday (14/3). The Official Loli Candy’s Group pedophile ring, which has over 7,000 transnational members, was cracked by the Jakarta Police. There are other rings still being investigated.

The suspects arrested were W, 27, DF, 17, DS, 24 and SH, 16. The four, who claim not to know one another, created a Facebook group in September 2016, which by March 2017 already has over 7,000 members.

“The group members have to upload pornographic photos or videos that have not been uploaded before, upon the approval of the admin. The members are not allowed to be passive, they have to send photos or videos,” said Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Mochamad Iriawan at the Jakarta Police headquarters on Tuesday.
