Two Florida men are accused of being part of the world’s largest dark web marketplace for child porn.
A federal grand jury in Washington D.C. indicted Jong Woo Son, a 23-year-old South Korean man, who investigators claim was running the marketplace.
The website, called “Welcome to Video,” was home to more than 200,000 different videos that showed toddlers, babies and children being sexually abused.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Lakeland man Jack R. Dove, 38, was arrested for knowingly receiving and possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Dove is set to go to trial in December.
Michael Matthew White, 39, of Miami Beach, Florida, was arrested in the Southern District of Florida for coercion and enticement.
Federal officials said the videos were sold and processed for 7,300 Bitcoin, or more than $730,000. U.S. authorities said there have been 337 arrests worldwide in at least 38 counties.
