Spanish child-porn ring broken

A city councillor, school officials and others have been arrested in a police sweep of what is being called the largest child pornography and prostitution ring in Spain in recent years. Eleven people had been arrested by yesterday afternoon and more arrests were expected. At least 40 children between the ages of five and 14 from the working class Barcelona neighbourhood of Raval were involved in the sex ring that, according to the state news agency EFE, had the consent of many of the children's parents.
