Feds Charge 71 in New York Child-Porn Ring Bust; Police Chief and Rabbi Are Among Those Charged

Seventy men and one woman in New York were charged today (May 21, 2014) with being part of a child-porn ring by the feds, according to The Daily Beast website.

Authorities say the operation -- which took place over five weeks -- caught the individuals using computer file-sharing programs to swap videos and photos of children engaged in sexual acts.

Among those charged with child porn were Brian Fanneli, chief of the Mount Pleasant Police Department in Valhalla, New York; Rabbi Samuel Waldman of Brooklyn, who taught at an all-girls school; and Johnathan Silber, a Boy Scout leader and little league coach in Rockland County.

The investigation -- led by agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- is the largest enforcement operation on child pornography in the New York-area.
