Venezuela investigating child porn cases

13:47 H | Topics: Children - Venezuela

M_IMAGE.10e0dc96062.93.88.fa.d0.53ad7b0f.jpgThe Venezuelan government is looking at evidence that child pornography of school children filmed with cell phones has made its way into Caracas' video black market, reports the BBC:

Thousands of copies have been seized by the authorities from street traders in Caracas since Wednesday.

The videos, apparently filmed on mobile phones, showed 12- to 14-year-olds performing lewd acts, police said.

A video of post-mortem examinations performed on young people is also reported to have been found.

Few details are available but some of these films are thought to have originated in the United States, others in South America.

According to the BBC, the discovery of the tapes has had another unexpected effect: the mother of one of the victims reportedly died of a heart attack after seeing her child in a video.
