Admin of child porn Line group arrested after help from US organization

Sanook reported on the arrest of an administrator of a closed Line group who was selling pornographic pictures and videos of children.

Somya was arrested by a DSI force, child protection agencies and Region 2 police. He was wanted on a warrant.

A desktop computer and laptop contained 5,000 indecent images and videos.

Acting as an administrator Somya had advertised through Facebook for paid membership of a closed Line group that shared the images.

The case came to light after help from the California based Operation Underground Railroad that assists governments in cases of human trafficking and sex trafficking with a special focus on children.

The DSI reminded the public that possessing indecent images or videos of children is a criminal offence. They called for the public to contact them on their free nationwide hotline – 1202 – with leads.
