Kiddie porn ringmaster sent to prison

clipped from www.canada.com While Marcel Deslauriers obsessively gathered child pornography over the Internet in his dingy basement Longueuil apartment, he had no way of knowing that somewhere in Edmonton, 3,600 kilometres away, a clever bit of police work would seal his fate. Deslauriers, 29, was sentenced yesterday to a 20-month prison term for his role as an administrator in an Internet chatroom where pedophiles from around the world gathered to exchange child pornography. As a chatroom administrator, the unemployed South Shore resident could decide who could enter the Kiddypics & Kiddyvids site and who should be kicked out. While gathering child pornography files for himself, Deslauriers accessed the chatroom with anonymity for six years under the name Fydei. "I just look at the pictures. I don't hurt anybody," Treleaven blurted out during the raid. He confessed he looked at the pictures "to make the feelings go away."
