Irishman held in global child porn investigation

A man in his 40s has been arrested here following a three-year investigation into a global child porn ring.

The investigation led to the rescue of 386 children around the world and the arrest of 348 people, according to Canadian police, who described what they uncovered as one of the largest child porn operations they’ve ever seen.

The investigation began with a Toronto man accused of running a company since 2005 that distributed child pornography videos.
