US - Feds bust child *advertiser censored* ring; 52 arrested

I've just been looking back, and I don't want to sound jaded. I truly appreciate the hard work that goes into these major operations. But do some research on the tens of thousands of names uncovered in the Operations Ore, Avalanche, Wonderland, and Landslide....just to name a few. And then see if you can find out how many children were rescued and how many perps brought to justice. The numbers are staggering and make the front page...for about two days. Then what? It always seems as if the bad guys are one step ahead. Didn't I read earlier today that they didn't even catch all the administrators of the Dreamboard site. Will they ever? Will we ever make headway in keeping our children truly safe?
 
Missizzy, I read your other post on this subject and thank you for those post. I'm so disgusted and disheartened. These evil people come in all walks. Heck I wouldn't be surprised to learn a sitting Judge is like ones arrested.

I think you are right, I bet there is a link somewhere and maybe some WS'ers could connect some dots.

This freaks like the Cop in TN that was busted in this sting just didn't wake up one morning and decide he wanted this sick WHAT EVER you call it. It started I'm sure when he went through puberty, and he probably acted on it in his late teens or 20's.

A cop! A cop that knows how to get away with a crime, did he take small children under the age of 13 when he was in his early years? Just look in the TN area of how many children are missing? I did a map of some of them and had to stop, I only did the ones under 18, female, and none were runaways or parental abduction and it was still to many.

The Justice Department really need to release all the details. How else can parents protect their children. It starts with education and that education is to learn just what they do, how they do, and who they are and could be.

There is no cure for these pervert criminals who prey on our children! They will do it even if their you know what was cut off.

I say we triple fence in 1000 acres and drop them in. If they want to eat, they better start finding a way to plant something. Maybe their family members can throw some seeds over the fence.

When we lived in the Philippines one jail was like that. They had a double high fence and they had no shelter or food given to them. If they wanted to eat, they had to rely on family members throwing food over the fence. When this happened, a big fight broke out. Dodge City, oh yes, they deserve no better!
 
I've posted snippets that I've found here and there on the internet before about the hundreds of arrests done in major stings and busts over the last 15 years or so (I still have them if anyone is interested). They are statistics about those arrested in busts and just what happens to most of those men. Often, not much. It's awfully disheartening to struggle for days and weeks to find names and then to attempt to learn professions and family living arrangements--not to mention addresses. I've been appalled by the vast numbers of dropped charges when LE simply could not keep up. They say it's like shooting fish in a barrel. But after a while, the dead fish just become overwhelming.

Thanks for the kind offer . But you know me and my danged pacifism. I was merely trying to get a line item added for a huge WS whiteboard so we might be able to connect the dots. I know, in my heart, that a huge number of traders are connected in some way.

I know I sound like a broken record but how in heckola are children, families and communities really going to be able to identify most of the arrested. We don't always know the name of the neighbor two doors down that disappeared 8 months ago. We don't know the name of the cashier at the grocery or all the child care workers. Unless local media picks up these stories and highlights them and does some serious investigative work, we're still in the dark. Sadly, in the past, the media is already five days ahead of us working on another story and we're still trying to fit together the pieces and determine if any children got caught in the crossfire.

I'm curious Izzy, and no disrespect intended, but how can anyone be a pacifist when young children and babies are being forcibly raped, hurt, maybe murdered?

What do you think should happen to the perps and those that buy/watch their illegal, disgusting violation of our children?

We can't, until we execute them.

My opinion only
 
Filly, where'd you find the last name--Eric Francis? I'm going state by state and I'm not finding much at all. I want all these names so I can check professions.

Stedfast was kind enough to organize the names and States and even some of the screen names. I got zero organizational skills.

However, Scott Lewandowski of Pueblo, Colorado? Security Guard for Target. That just peachy. If you lose your kid in Target who would they go to or who would help find parents? Yep, security.

He owns a home, but two years ago lived in a mobile home.

Shane Micah Turner resides in Utah, but originally is from Apopka, Florida. He won a scholarship years ago. He also lived in Tallahassee, Florida.



http://articles.orlandosentinel.com...ecker-altamonte-springs-university-of-florida

Shane known as Korneech08 spent alot of time on *advertiser censored* sites that's for sure. I can't link obviously. One of his repeated spots was Hung Angels. Yeah, I clicked on it because he was gushing over someone post-op named Danielle and shares that he lived in Apopka. It all looks to be perfectly legal and no offense to transgendered people that would never hurt a child.

Tranladyboy is another he spent time on and well he found time to do those SIMS people.
 
I won't do any searches on these people and I just want to say thank you for those that do.

I'm afraid to click on any link too. lol

I'm keeping a list of these scumbags on my computer and will post information and links as I find them. I hope no one will mind if I take a shortcut by including information, such as this that Filly has found. I'll list the contributors, of course. (Thanks, Filly!:blowkiss:) Once we get a list of the perverts and their locations, we can start looking for missing kids who might have fallen victim to Dreamboard's members.

ETA I'm also going to rearrange the list so that it goes by state, in roughly geographical order.
 
Total pacifism is a promise I made as a child to my father, Trident. He was an extremely gentle and tender man and I am his only daughter. As an older teen, he was drafted into the military and served in Japan. Due to his unwillingness to shoot a gun, he served as a radio operator but of course, was required to carry his Army issue gun. His company was ambushed one day and his life threatened. He refused to draw his gun so another man shot a Japanese soldier and killed him to save my father. My father never got over the pain of another man losing his life.

As a child, I promised to dedicate my life to helping others and to never harbor nor express anger or bitterness. I also promised to never use violence or to support it. I've made good on that promise and I'm proud to say that it is the only way of life for me. I cannot wish any human being or animal harm. I simply can't. I feel deep sorrow for the man who raped our children. All I ever wanted was for him to get treatment.

And to answer a question often asked of me...no I would never act in self defense nor would I harm another to protect a loved one. I simply couldn't. I am at peace with my life and that there is a heaven. If someone chooses to take my life, that's their choice. There's a great sense of calmness which comes from this decision.

But I do strongly support an alternate living arrangement for those caught using violence--especially against children. I believe that was part of Australia's history, wasn't it? I think we'd need to find an island without a native people, though, as that wasn't quite fair of Britain, IMO. It was creative, however.

Hope that clarifies my position.
 
Don't know how useful these might be but I've attached copies of 3 Indictments and a Complaint that were posted on one of our local news stations (KATC.com) in Lafayette this morning but for some reason were later pulled.

I'm wondering about the sentencing some of these guys have received (20 yrs, 25 yrs. etc.).....are they required to serve the entire sentence....anyone know? Even serving a 20 year sentence.....a 25 year old would only be 45 when he's released. We all know these pedo's cannot be rehabbed.

Edited to add: Just found the link for above....it's a cached version of the article http://bit.ly/r8ILbN

About a year ago I found a very intriguing article/document concerning the high profile child *advertiser censored* busts. I can't find it now. IIRC, it was on some unlikely site like Focus on the Family. But in going to Wiki today, I see some of the information repeated. I'm simply left numb by the numbers. I don't want to imbed but all these quotes are from the Wiki.

From the article titled "Operation Ore":

"Operation Ore was a British police operation that commenced in 1999 following information received from US law enforcement, which was intended to prosecute thousands of users of a website reportedly featuring child *advertiser censored*. In the United Kingdom, it led to 7,250 suspects identified, 4,283 homes searched, 3,744 arrests, 1,848 charged, 1,451 convictions, 493 cautioned and 140 children removed from suspected dangerous situations and an estimated 39 suicides. While Operation Ore did identify and prosecute a number of sex offenders, the validity of the police procedures was later questioned, as errors in the investigations were claimed by some to have resulted in a large number of false arrests."

and

"Operation Ore followed the similar crackdown in the United States, called Operation Avalanche, though in the US only 100 people were charged from the 35,000 US access records available."



From the article on "Operation Cathedral":

"Operation Cathedral was a police operation that broke up an international child *advertiser censored* ring called The Wonderland Club operating over the Internet. It was led by the British National Crime Squad in cooperation with 13 other police forces around the globe,[1] who arrested 107 suspects across 12 countries on September 1, 1998. Seven UK-based men were convicted for their part in the ring in 2001. One reason for the high profile of the operation was the unusually high number of images involved possessed and produced and distributed by Wonderland Club: 750,000 images with 1,200 unique identifiable faces. Despite substantial work by many of the agencies involved only a very small number of those appearing in the images have been identified...."

and

"...Because of the publicity the operation received, full names and addresses were almost always divulged to the media thus exposing direct relatives (wives and children) to potential danger from vigilante types among the general public." [Maybe this is why we can't find all the info in one place]

British link to 'snuff' videos
October 1, 2000

"Britain is a key link in the biggest ever international investigation into the production and supply of paedophile 'snuff' movies - in which children are murdered on film - an Observer investigation can reveal.
The key suspect in the inquiry, a Russian who was arrested last week in Moscow for distribution of thousands of sadistic child *advertiser censored* videos and pictures, was traced following the seizure of his products from British paedophiles. Dmitri Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, a 30-year-old former car mechanic in Moscow, was identified after British Customs and police traced the origin of violent child *advertiser censored* videos found in the UK back to Russia.

Last week Italian police seized 3,000 of Kuznetsov's videos on their way to clients in Italy, sparking an international hunt for paedophiles who have bought his products. The Italian investigators say the material includes footage of children dying during abuse...."

Operation Joint Hammer Busts Child *advertiser censored* Rings Worldwide

"About 170 people, including more than 60 Americans, have been arrested in the breakup of seven major child *advertiser censored* rings worldwide. The U.S. law enforcement agency said Operation Joint Hammer, which started with a tip from Australian authorities in 2006, is already one of the largest child *advertiser censored* probes on record and it isn’t over yet, the agency said on its Web site. The FBI said along with the arrests, authorities rescued 14 girls, some as young as 3, who had been sexually abused by pornographers...."

and

"...A list of 50,000 e-mails from 28 countries, including 11,000 from the United States, was seized from the video producer and that led to the start of Operation Joint Hammer, the FBI said......We’re still working our way through all the cases, said the unnamed FBI agent in charge of the investigation...."




OK, my point. This is just a snippet of the info out their concerning headline grabbing announcements of yet another "massive internet child *advertiser censored* bust". I'm ecstatic when I see them. But look at the sheer enormity of the numbers. Thousands upon thousands of names and customers. Then we hear of 30 or 60 or 72 tried and convicted. What happens to the others? Released on a technicality? Released due to the huge amount of work involved in prosecution? Are they still being watched? We are talking about tens of thousands of people addicted to the vile and violent sexual abuse of children...often as young as newborns.

The other concern I have is that I've got unlimited time and the motivation to watch these cases and yet I get lost. There seems to be a huge amount of disconnect. Is this purposeful or simply a result of the cases being so large? Of course we all want the bad guys caught but don't we want our communities to be aware of the evil that walked their streets, taught in their schools, treated their children in medical offices? We do hear about extremely high profile cases such as Dr. Earl Bradley and Dr. Emilio Luna but unless you're paying close attention, as WSers do, or unless you happen to be the parent of a victim, I seriously doubt you're going to know the name.

This conundrum is exactly what brought me to WS a few years ago. I wanted to start threads on every single "helping professional" I could find so that they'd all be in one place and where the articles wouldn't disappear. I've been floored by the number of news articles that simply vanish (with extremely important info) after a few months. If I or someone else vigilant has cut and pasted some of the details to a thread here, the info is not lost. The victims of child *advertiser censored* are children. Someday, they will be researching their abuses. I want that information available to them. It's their history.
 
I started to read an article I saw about this that was a link from an article that I was reading about the FLDS.

I had to stop, but I am so very, very, very sorry that I began.

I am at a complete loss for words, the tears are coming and I am going to punch up my big pillow.

I can't handle this.
 
Another name:

"A jailed Elgin County [Ontario] man is fighting extradition to the U.S. after being indicted in a major online child *advertiser censored* bust. Paul Graham Fry, 54, of Vienna, was one of two Canadian citizens swept up by Operation Delego. Launched in 2009, the investigation targeted more than 500 members of Dreamboard, a website the U.S. Justice Department calls “a private, members-only, online bulletin board that was created and operated to promote pedophilia and encourage the sexual abuse of very young children, in an environment designed to avoid law enforcement detection.”

Fry is accused of engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, conspiracy to advertise the distribution of child *advertiser censored* and conspiracy to distribute child *advertiser censored*. He was indicted March 16, according to the Justice Department. Fry is being held at the Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre and was denied bail..."

Terryville [CT] man arrested in global child *advertiser censored* probe

"....The suspects, including Daniel Deschenes of Terryville [CT], known as “Catman” on Dreamboard, are accused of participating in a members-only Internet club trading graphic photos and videos of children being sexually abused.

Deschenes was arrested in Terryville, federal authorities said. Court papers indicate he is accused of offering to distribute at least three images or movies from July 2009 to June 2010. One of the videos he allegedly offered for distribution was titled, “Candid nudies 4 to 10 years,” court papers said.

Global *advertiser censored* ring bust has ties in New England
August 4, 2011

"...Neighbors of David Whitten are horrified. The 53-year-old Lynn, Mass., man busted as part of what investigators call one of the worst child *advertiser censored* rings they've ever seen. The members-only internet club was called Dreamboard and encouraged members to create and distribute explicit pictures and videos of kids all under the age of 12. Whitten is charged with uploading three files, one involving an eight year old girl. Says a new father walking by a park around the corner from Whitten's home, "That's just disgusting."

As part of the two year long, international investigation, federal authorities have charged 72 people, including three New England men. Whitten, who went by the online screen name, Davie, Rush Frank Blankenship, aka "14yrmax", of Westfield, Mass., and Daniel Deschenes, aka "Catman," of Terryville, Conn...."

Rush Frank Blankenship (not to be confused with his father who has a similar name) married a lovely young woman, a nurse, three years ago this week--some anniversary. Looks like the entire family is on FB, but he seems to be removed. My heart just aches for these families. Can you imagine?

Former Westfield resident Rush Frank Blankenship among suspects charged in international child *advertiser censored* ring

"...According to the indictment, Blankenship published three separate advertisements in April and May 2010 on Dreamboard in which he offered to distribute files containing child *advertiser censored*. Blankenship allegedly used the online alias “14yrsmax.” and posted video and image files to the site labeled “Girl with Dog," "Nice small sets” and “Candle.....”

and

"...According to documents filed with the Massachusetts secretary of state’s office, Rush F. Blankenship and RG Blankenship are signatories with Neighborhood Lawn Care LLC, which is based in Monson. The 52-year-old RG Blankenship, reached at that business on Thursday, declined to comment; he faces no allegations in the federal case...."

Thank you for keeping up with the stories!

I hope some missing and murdered children's cases can be solved because of their photo library.
 
I wish there was a computer program that could cause death to anyone that entered a particular kiddie *advertiser censored* site. You know like in the movies. It would be just a matter of time before all those sickos offed themselves. Children would be safe and the world would be a better place.
