Meanwhile, 72 suspects were arrested and charged, including 20 foreigners. In the Netherlands one or more people were arrested. 13 members have already pleaded guilty.

Through the network, called the Dream Board, the pedophiles exchange pictures and videos that showed how adults often violently abuse of 12 years and younger. Some victims were babies.

The investigation against the network, Operation Delego, started in 2009. Attorney General Eric Holder told that the members of the board were united by "the disturbing belief that child sexual abuse is permissible and not be criminalized." and that the actions of pedophiles were "no more than a nightmare for the victims".
