Child Pornography Channelop Receives 8 Years in Prison
25 April 2008
A 40-year-old channel operator of a child pornography IRC channel received 8 years prison.
An investigation led by Interpol resulted in the arrest of 25 channel members worldwide spread over 10 countries. The channel operator, Brian Martin from Oregon USA, has now been sentenced to 8 years in prison. On his computer more then 5,000 images of child pornography have been found.
The channel served as a trading place where members exchanged newly found child pornography files, including video files.
Martin requested to remain free pending an appeal of his conviction, but U.S. District Judge Ancer L. Haggerty denied that request.

forgot to add that; alot of networks don't seem to be actively doing anything against this. In My Opinion. I've seen many with the "we are not responsible" or "we do not moderate content" and all that. If a network says it has any responsibility to its users. I don't see how it could allow this. I know there is the a lot of networks supporting VGT project. However, to me thats just an other way for them to "...not be responsible". I can understand a network thats over run by drones or botnets but this type of thing ...i don't believe i could.
