South Africa Cracks International Child Pornography Ring

South Africa’s police have arrested six men suspected of being part of an international child pornography ring, a spokesman has said.

The suspects, who include teachers and a legal officer, are believed to have links with the US, Canada, the UK and other European countries, reports say.

The arrests were carried out following raids on 15 properties, police said.
