Police allege the owner of a children's modelling agency in Thailand was using the company as a front for a global child exploitation ring. Thai authorities allege he was using the modelling agency to attract young children, where he could then abuse them in the studio. Police in Thailand seized several electronic devices allegedly containing more than half a million files of child abuse material and charged the 28-year-old with possessing the illegal content. The Interpol Crimes Against Children, Asia, with assistance from the Thai Department of Special Investigation, identified a website trading in pay-per-view child abuse material, featuring boys from Asia.
