In the centre of Kiev, Ukraine, a porn studio disguised as a child model agency has been acting during several years. Parents whose daughters were victims still can't believe that their kids were used as usual porn actresses.
As CCRC informed earlier, law enforcement disclosed a porn studio that had branches in Kharkiv, Simferopol and other cities of Ukraine. The studio acted under cover of a usual model agency and drew new models on a perfect legal basis -- through ads in newspapers and on TV. Later on, having entrapped the parents, members of the so-called "agency" took photographs and taped girls in candid poses and dresses, or even naked. This production was sold to foreigners.
The mastermind of the "agency" has been arrested. According to some information, the detainee has powerful protectors that try to push on the investigation in order to hush up the case.
