Authorities in “Operation Darkroom” arrest 51 in pedophile child-sex ring, arresting lawmakers and teachers.
By: Jack Burns / The Free Thought Project As the old expression goes “there’s a special place in hell” for pedophiles. But hell for some infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers might be a little country called Norway. That’s because the country just seized the largest amount of child pornography in the country’s history! A whopping 150 terabytes were confiscated, the equivalent of over 35,000 child-porn DVDs!
The search began when one 22-year-old man was being investigated for having sex with a 14-year-old. The investigation led to the man’s cell phone, where authorities quickly realized he had been in contact with other suspected child rapists. The network of rapists led the Norwegian authorities to create a team of 25 officers, from various departments, to work together on the ever-expanding case called “Operation Darkroom.”
According to The Nordic Page, “The material has led to charges of sexual intercourse and rape of children from infancy to 15 years, serious trafficking and production, storage and sharing of material depicting sexual abuse of children, and luring of children to show off or sending nude photos or masturbate over the internet. Police also found examples of offenders who have planned atrocities against their own children with other men.”
The investigation quickly led to arrests of, “51 people, all men, are so far involved in the case. 24 of them come from Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane. 26 come from other areas of Norway, from Southeast to Finnmark in the north. Among the accused offenders, there is also one Swedish national. Two politicians, one Labor politician from Oslo and a former national Progress Party (FrP) politician from Eastern Norway are involved in the case.” One is also a kindergarten teacher, and four of the 51 arrested were perpetrators in the video evidence collected.
Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg said of the arrests, “I think this is incredibly painful. It is painful to hear and see stories about abuse against young babies, and the fantasies of abuse against young children. You do not need to be a mother to think that this is painful to hear, all people with empathy and contact with young children know that this type of abuse leaves marks for life, says Solberg.”

Dates? Is this an old story or a new one?
Why was this posted with that awful and exploitative picture of naked girls in cling film? The story is shocking and awful, but your illustration is also exploitative. Women’s bodies belong to themselves And should not be publicly bought and sold. It is all part of the same problem. Of course child sexual abuse is more damaging than a photo of young naked girls devoid of all individuality used merely to provide an eye catching hook to the reader but it is still dehumanising and sexually titillating.
The picture itself shows how awful the events that transpired are in a metaphoric sense. If you say that the image of children, decrepit and wrapped in plastic is “sexually titillating”, then you’re the one with the problem.
