LONDON - Authorities say police have shattered a global Internet pedophile ring, rescuing 31 children and rounding up more than 700 suspects in dozens of countries - including Canada.
The British-based Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre says some 200 suspects are based in the United Kingdom. The centre says the ring was traced to an Internet chat room called "Kids the Light of Our Lives" that featured images of children being subjected to horrific sexual abuse.
The investigation involved agencies from 35 countries and has gone on for 10 months.
Among agencies that helped in the investigation was the Toronto Police Service, which conducted online surveillance along with British police, the centre said.
Toronto police say they've arrested 10 people since March 2006, bringing the total number of Canadian arrests to 24 since late 2005, and seven Canadian children were rescued.
