Two Swedish suspects have been identified in a major global paedophile ring spanning 14 countries which has been exposed by the US police.
- Supreme Court mulls manga child porn appeal (16 May 12)
- District court 'forgot' child porn crime case (12 Mar 12)
- Pastor left own sex pics on work computer (21 Feb 12)
Members of Dreamboard themselves committed serious assaults against children, and the more films or pictures a member published, the more he was given access to.
The abused children were all younger than 12-years-old, some were babies. To gain access to some parts of the network there was a requirement that the child in the pictures was visibly suffering or crying.
Police in Stockholm are very familiar with the Dreamboard network. A man in his forties has been remanded into custody at Södertörn district court on suspicion of raping children overseas and aggravated child pornography offences.
"We received information from the US that there was a Swedish suspect involved. We have so far been able to identify three Swedish girls featured in the material," said Liz Berglund at the National Police Agency (Rikskriminalen) IT crimes section.
A 32-year-old man from Blekinge who was sentenced to psychiatric care on Tuesday on a string of charges involving sex offences against children, among other things 70 rapes of a six-year-old girl, is one of the paedophiles which the police exposed via Dreamboard.

Wrong. It matters. Two is what the authorities and the media are saying. A 100 might be closer to the truth, but I agree with you, not completely, because the are not going to get the punishment they deserve; only, they might get it. Might, zooeden, might is the key of the story.
Or that the kids were not drunk enough for a court to consider that they were sexually molested, raped, etc, etc.
The paedophiles will get a free ticket to Majorca to find more children to molest.
Remember: we are in a country where you are guilty as charge right from the beginning. The world wide rule of "someone is always innocent till the law proves the contrary", does not function here. Specially with the type of people Sweden has withing the judicial system. They are far worse than in my country of origin and that is too much to say.
The reason is they were the only two non-gay clergy remaining in Sweden so that makes it understandable right!?!
The only difference would be the location, place them in African countries!
The books is written. On Monday they will travel to Thailand. In a week they will be back and they will start preparing their manifesto. They will be elected to run the country with their you know what and you, others and me, will remain being poor.
