Bible camp leader in pornography case

A BIBLE camp counsellor and a boy scout leader were among 125 people arrested across the US in an internet child pornography case in which subscribers purchased photos and videos of children engaged in sex acts with adults, federal authorities have announced.

The case originated in New Jersey, but quickly spread to 22 states. The defendants were charged with either possession or receipt of child pornography. Additional arrests are expected.

Prosecutors said the website alerted subscribers that its content was illegal and urged them to be discreet about their purchases.
