337 users globally were arrested after an international crackdown on one of the world's largest child porn sites.

337 suspects related to the black website "Welcome to Video" were arrested and prosecuted in the US, UK, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Czech, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Brazil and Australia. , The British National Crime Agency (NCA) said on October 16. 23 young victims were also rescued in the US, Spain and England.

The website is operated from South Korea, containing nearly 8 terabytes of content about child abuse and more than 200,000 videos that have been downloaded a total of over a million times. The website was shut down last year following British authorities' investigation of Matthew Falder, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for sharing images of child abuse.

International task forces from the United Kingdom, the United States, South Korea and Germany have worked together for 3 years to destroy one of the biggest websites on child pornography.

"This is one of the first sites to sell depraved videos in bitcoin," NCA said.

According to the indictment published by the US Department of Justice the same day, Jong Woo Son, 23, who allegedly ran the site, was arrested and prosecuted in South Korea.

Richard Gratkowski, a former US Department of Homeland Security investigator, was also among the suspects charged. He was sentenced to 70 months in prison, 10 years under supervision and $ 35,000 compensation. Authorities are continuing to verify the children appearing in the videos on the site.
