27 charged in child pornography ring Print E-mail

The NLC applauds the efforts of the Department of Justice and international authorities in an online child pornography sting which resulted in charges being filed against 27 people. Federal authorities announced March 15 that arrests have been made in Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New York, North Carolina and Tennessee following an investigation lead by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. “The commitment of DOJ and law enforcement to seek out child pornography cases is encouraging,” commented Keely Knipling, NLC’s associate counsel, “and even more encouraging is the international cooperation evident in this case, which involved some of the most despicable acts conceivable. Child pornography is a horrific global problem that requires orchestrated efforts on the part of law enforcement around the globe. The NLC is hopeful that this type of operation will become more prevalent in this area and for other child sexual exploitation crimes.”

NLC Announces In-Kind Donation From Rimage

Disc publishing leader to provide duplication services for NLC training DVDs

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - April 26, 2008 - The National Law Center for Children and Families (NLC) is proud to announce an in-kind donation of services from Rimage Corporation, a leading manufacturer of on-demand disc publishing solutions. Rimage has agreed to donate DVD duplication services to the National Law Center, which will distribute training DVDs for prosecutors and law enforcement officers as they combat child sexual exploitation. 

Since June, 2006, the National Law Center has trained nearly 1000 law enforcement professionals and prosecutors on child sexual exploitation crimes in seminars from coast to coast. In an effort to provide this valuable information to these public servants, the NLC recorded its training program last summer. The Rimage donation of services will help NLC eliminate disc duplication expenses and will enable the organization to distribute more training DVDs this year.

"Rimage is pleased to support the National Law Center in its efforts to educate law enforcement and prosecutors across the nation who defend children and families," said Kevin Gramer, director of government sales for Rimage. "It's rewarding to know we are helping to combat crimes against children."

"We are grateful for Rimage's support as we continue our work defending children across the country," said Richard R. Whidden, Jr., NLC Executive Director. "We thank Rimage for its generous contribution and look forward to an ongoing and productive relationship."

Since 1978, Rimage Corporation (www.rimage.com) has been the world's leading innovator of recordable media publishing solutions. Rimage was the first in the industry to combine robotics, software and surface label printers into a complete digital publishing process. Today, Rimage systems can be found all over the world, serving 67 of the Fortune 100 companies.  

The National Law Center for Children and Families is a non-profit corporation headquartered in Alexandria, Va. It is the source for experienced assistance and training in the law enforcement and legal profession's efforts to defend children from sexual exploitation.
