FBI Nabs Flushing Man for Running 18 Chinese Language CP Sites

NEW YORK—The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday announced the arrest of Yong Wang, 26, a Flushing, New York resident accused of operating at least 18 Chinese language websites that contained images of child sexual exploitation, otherwise known as child pornography. Wang reportedly ran a total of 48 websites, the largest chain of related Chinese-language porn sites in the world. “Wang, who has allegedly operated the websites since at least 2007, made hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling website ‘memberships’ to individuals who paid to view, access, post, and download graphic images of child pornography,” the FBI said in an announcement. “All of the websites were in Chinese and advertised to Chinese-speaking individuals in China, the United States, and elsewhere. Wang, 26, was arrested by the FBI at his residence in Queens on June 23, 2011.” The FBI also noted that the nine-month investigation resulting in Wang’s arrest was conducted with the cooperation and assistance of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, which simultaneous to the FBI arrest detained 10 people in China accused of maintaining the websites. The sites’ servers were located in the United States, which the Chinese government said prevented them from shuttering them sooner. The Chinese nationals could face 10 years to life in prison. According to the FBI, Wang “is charged with one count of advertising in connection with the sexual exploitation of children (count one), one count of distributing child pornography (count two), and one count of reproducing child pornography for distribution (count three). On count one, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. On counts two and three, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on each count.”
