Norwegian police say they are investigating a paedophile network suspected to involve at least 51 people, which includes the abuse of infants and at least one case of a suspect acknowledging abusing his own children.
Deputy Police Chief Gunnar Floystad says that in Norway's largest abuse case to date, they have arrested 20 men so far, with three convictions, in western Norway. The 31 other suspects are from other regions in Norway.
Floystad told reporters today that many of the suspects are highly educated and include lawyers and politicians. He said he could not reveal more details pending the conclusion of the investigation, known as "Dark Room", which began in 2015.
Prosecutors said the perpetrators met in the dark web, using encryption and anonymity to hide their tracks.
