According to a report on DailyPakistan, Punjab’s Child Protection Bureau has disclosed country’s largest child pornography ring, in which 400 videos have been confiscated featuring more than 280 children being sexually exploited. The Nation published the report of organized child sex exploitation, which has shocked the country.  According to the report, most of the victims were under 14 years of age. In one of the videos a six-year-old boy can be seen forced to perform sexual act, and a 10-year-old schoolgirl who was filmed being molested by a 14-year-old boy.
Thousands of copies of the sexual assault videos are believed to have been sold for Rs. 50 each in Hussain Khanwala village in Kasur district. According to the parents of the children, the gang members were in contact with pedophiles in western countries through Skype and would sell the videos overseas for large amounts of money.
According to the parents, the gang would later blackmail the children and the parents using the videos, extorting millions of rupees from the poor villagers under the threat of shaming the families of the victims. The poor villagers, afraid of losing face in front of their community, would sell personal belongings to pay the gang.
