It knocks out a South Korea-based dark web child pornography site that sold gruesome videos for digital cash.

Law enforcement officials said on Wednesday they had arrested hundreds of people worldwide after knocking out a South Korea-based dark web child pornography site that sold gruesome videos for digital cash.

Officials have rescued at least 23 underage victims in the United States, Britain and Spain who were being actively abused by users of the site, the Justice Department said. Many children in the videos have not yet been identified. Several other people charged in the case have already been convicted and are serving prison sentences of up to 15 years, according to the US Justice Department.

Darknet websites are designed to be all-but-impossible to locate online. How authorities managed to locate and bring down the site isn’t clear, with differing narratives by different law enforcement organisations on the matter.
