Deight brothers, 21 and 25 years old, suspected of being the administrators of the platform, were arrested on Tuesday in northern France, advanced the same source in statement.

 

In three different ‘sites’, “the platform offered for sale packages of intimate content stolen from various sources”: accounts of pirated social networks, grooming (on-line scams perpetrated by adults against minors) and “pornography of revenge”, that is, unconsensual distribution of intimate images as a form of revenge.

Some of the women involved were underage and of different nationalities.

In addition, “the users of the site were encouraged to provide, in exchange for virtual currency, identification information for each victim, individually listed with their real names, indexed by age, place of residence, profession and a ‘beautiful’ rating from 0 to 10,” the French judicial body said.

In the homes of the two brothers in custody, French researchers seized approximately EUR 700 000 in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, USDT and Ethereum.

“ People who have been victims of unconsensual disclosure of intimate content on the NudeLeaksTeens platform, whether French or foreign, should contact the National Cybercrime Unit through the email “, indicated the Public Prosecutor.

For its part, the US Department of Justice stated that coordinated action also led to the seizure of two domains associated with this platform.

Although the site presented warnings of images with minors involved in sexualized conduct, the police investigation confirmed that the platform marketed sexually explicit content of minors.
