32 British Men Commit Suicide over Child Porn Sting
When I was a young adult, My childhood dentist was arrested for having obtained child pornography via the mail. I knew his wife, his daughter and his sons. I remember feeling immensely sorry for his family. I did not feel sorry for him. He deserved to be caught and he deserved the public humiliation that followed. His arrest was the result of a sting operation conducted by the FBI.
The following article is about another sting operation launched in 2002 by the United States and Great Briton. You may remember hearing of several famous Americans arrested in this same sting operation, one of them being Paul Reubins better known as Pee Wee Herman (in his case the major charges were dropped and he pleaded guilty to a lesser obscenity charge)
This time literally thousands of have been held during Operation Ore, 7200 have been identified with 3,729 being arrested. 1,600 have been charged and 1,200 have been convicted for viewing a pay-per-view child porn site based out of Texas. (seems a bit stupid, if you ask my humble opinion, to give your personal information out to do something so illegal.)
32 of those arrested have committed suicide. Like my childhood dentist, many of them had families, were employed and respected in their communities. They stood to lose everything and apparently could not face the shame and humiliation.
Chief Constable Stuart Hyde, association spokesman has stated the suicides will not deter officers from enforcing the law.
