125 arrested in child porn roundup
CNN) -- Federal officials arrested more than 125 people Wednesday on charges of subscribing to a Web site that depicted children as young as infants engaged in sexual activities with adults.
"Today, we are taking steps against child pornography," U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie told reporters in Newark.
Fourteen of the suspects appeared Wednesday afternoon before a magistrate judge in Newark.
The arrests stem from Operation Emissary, which immigration and customs officials launched in New Jersey and extended to more than 21 other states.
It focused on a Web site that offered subscribers access to child porn videos and pictures, Christie and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special-Agent-in-Charge Kyle Hutchins said in a written statement.
