Ring of Cannibals

This is a story about how the internet played a part in both the propagation and the collapse of a large, multinational network of child pornographers. We know from shows like To Catch a Predator that, sometimes, law enforcement will pose online to bait potential or active predators into a trap. And that’s how this story starts as well. An agent chatted online with a group of people who fantasized about kidnapping, raping, killing, and eating small toddlers and infants.
