“Interpol alerted us after careful examinations of online child pornography suggested that the young victims were Southeast Asians,” Department of Special Investigation (DSI) deputy director-general Pol Lt-Colonel Pakorn Sucheevakun told the press on Thursday. According to him, several Thais and foreigners have already faced legal actions for sexually violating children and producing child pornography. “The child pornography had been distributed via a website in Australia,” he added. From this case, authorities expanded their investigation and nabbed another man for sexually abusing children and broadcasting child pornography online. Eric Mcloughlin, a senior official in the US Homeland Security Investigations department, said through collaboration with Australia and Thailand, four suspects were arrested in the US.
