PEDOGATE: Creator of Child Pornography Website, ‘PLAYPEN’ Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison

‘Playpen’ Creator Sentenced to 30 Years 

Dark Web ‘Hidden Service’ Case Spawned Hundreds of Child Porn Investigations 

FBI NEWS
May 5, 2017

Excerpt:

The creator and lead administrator of what was believed to be the world’s largest child pornography website—with more than 150,000 users around the world—was sentenced this week to 30 years in prison.

Steven W. Chase, 58, of Naples, Florida, created a website called Playpen in August 2014 on the Tor network, an open network on the Internet where users can communicate anonymously through “hidden service” websites—where criminal activity is not uncommon. Chase ran the Playpen website, where members uploaded and viewed tens of thousands of postings of young victims, indexed by age, sex, and the type of sexual activity involved.

The case—and the thousands of follow-up investigations it has launched—is unprecedented in its scope and reach, FBI officials said. It represents the Bureau’s most successful effort to date against users of Tor’s hidden service sites. And it has opened new avenues for international cooperation in efforts to prosecute child abusers around the world.

    I think this deserves a post of its own. Open to discussion and any further research. Shows more signs of suspicious activity. Wanted to point out a few things i noticed.

    1/ Large world “MAP” seen on wall inside Besta Pizza shop with pictures of children all over it. A small drawing of a car with the word “We deliver worldwide”. What exactly are they delivering worldwide??
    2/ Very suspicious drawings on the wall of a car with a pedo symbol. One BIG sausage with black squiggly lines all over it with two big round balls hanging in a bag looking thing!!!!! The other side has 3 small sausages with black squiggly lines drawn on them- very sus drawings!!!!.
    3/ The rubbed out writing on the wall says – 30 minutes…..favorited by offices and school since 1993 doesn’t seem to be incriminating writing.
    4/ Checkered floor
    5/ Strange how do you feel today poster up next to the World Map. Not sure what that all means.

    If there is anything else people have noticed please leave a comment. It all helps. Thank you

    I hope the FBI’s ‘PLAYPEN’ investigation will ultimately result in convictions and lengthy prison terms for some high-profile individuals associated with the Washington, DC PIZZAGATE SCANDAL.
