The Alliance builders Wang Yong and his core members have been arrested, the alliance's several obscene pornographic websites have been closed, the largest foreign pornographic source was completely knocked off. The name of "Sunshine" can not conceal the truth of sin. How has the online "erotic Empire" of 1000多万名 members been formed over the years? How did the Chinese Ministry of Public Security and the American police's heavy toy fall apart?  As the public Security Ministry and the United States police through joint operations to uncover the transnational network of pornographic crime cases, behind the unknown stories?  In this connection, the reporter visited the Ministry of Public Security Task Force, retrospective case investigation process, to uncover the Internet "erotic Empire" of the mysterious veil ...  In the shadow of "sunshine," Let's turn the clock back two months ago, June 23, 2011, New York, USA. Bustling in the streets of Flushing Queens, people are hurrying, shuttling between high-rise buildings. At this time, a number of FBI agents have quietly sneaked into a residential housing, cloth under the strict catch network. Later, Wang Yong, a Chinese man, was successfully captured at home by police.  At the same time, there are two units located in Texas State server and related network payment platform, a series of sites were completely destroyed. "' The actor ' is arrested! The action is successful! Victory quickly from New York to Beijing, the Ministry of Public Security Task Force members high fives.  The same day, under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, Beijing, Anhui, Fujian three public security organs of the group has been in charge of money laundering and maintenance of the website of more than 10 suspects arrested. "Wang Yong, male, January 1, 1985 born in Fujian province Fuzhou"--in the Ministry of Public Security through Interpol issued a "red notice", wearing glasses Wang Yong-gentle.  It is hard to believe that the 26-Year-old has created a huge network of "pornography Empire", and operates 48 Chinese pornographic websites outside the home, by spreading and selling pornographic content to sit on tens of millions. "Actor", is Wang Yong on the Internet code.  In January 2002, Wang Yong established the "99 erotic" website in the United States by this code, and then, by joining, acquiring and other means, the largest number of users of the 48 Chinese obscene pornographic sites into its management, the formation of the world's largest Chinese pornographic website alliance "Sunshine Entertainment Alliance." The "Erotic Empire", which contains obscene pornographic information in the thousands of plates, the spread of obscene information on hundreds of millions of posts. Each registered member pays quarterly membership fee or lifetime membership fee to the website.  If members want to browse the "more exciting" content, there are only two ways: pay, or accumulate enough points. In terms of pay, the Sunshine Entertainment Alliance has a convenient payment platform and users in China canTo the pornographic website by credit card, Western Union remittance, cash payment and so on. The "integral" system of pornographic website members is even more repugnant. "The only way for members to earn points on these sites is to upload more pornographic images and must be ' original '--which stimulates members to initiate or participate in more sexual crimes.  "The Ministry of Public Security," said the relevant officials. The "Sunshine" title of the Network Alliance, but also breeding a variety of dark and evil.  Not only do the dissemination of obscene pornographic information, many criminals also through their exchange of rape indecent girl's modus operandi, exchange of child pornography pictures, to promote sexual abuse of child crime. A breakthrough in child pornography crime "Thank you for your cooperation with the FBI in the field of combating international crime." Given the fact that crime is more of a cross-border activity, the global law enforcement agencies must increase their level of cooperation in an unprecedented manner. For your efforts in these areas, the FBI appreciates your selfless contribution. After Wang Yong's successful arrest, the FBI Director Robert F.  S. Muller sent a thank-you note to the Chinese Ministry of Public Security. However, in the process of seeking cross-border policing cooperation, the Chinese police are not sailing smoothly.  As early as 2004, the Ministry of Public Security found that Wang Yong and his gang to use obscene pornographic websites profiteering crime facts, and many times to deploy public security organs to "Sunshine Entertainment Alliance" to carry out a special attack, but because the prime culprit Wang Yong and web servers are located in the United States, the Chinese police can not be "The biggest obstacle is the judicial barrier caused by the difference of judicial system between China and America. "The Ministry of Public Security," said the relevant officials. According to the No. 363 article of Chinese criminal law, for profit-making, reproduction, publication, sale, dissemination of obscene articles, the circumstances of serious, more than 10 years imprisonment or life imprisonment.  Wang Yong's behavior has clearly violated the criminal law, but in the United States, Wang Yong engaged in adult pornography is a legitimate act.  Because of this, the Chinese police in several applications for cooperation, by the United States to "adult pornography legal" as a result of blocking outside the door. Through careful investigation and forensics, the investigators found that of the 48 sites under the Sun Entertainment Alliance, 18 of them contained child pornography.  In one of the "Young Empire" sites, users can access a large number of hyperlinks to another large-scale alliance of child pornography, which contains a large number of child genital exposure, showing children and adults have sex with pictures and videos. Under U.S. law, the publication of sexual exploitation advertisements for children and the reproduction and dissemination of child pornography are punishable by imprisonment for up to 30 years.  Chinese police have again demanded that the U.S. police intervene in the detection of the case.  April 2010, the Ministry of Public Security and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation of the case formally launched Cross-border police cooperation. State Councilor, Minister of Public Security Jianzhu the case highly. Under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security, the three public security organs in Beijing, Anhui and Fujian quickly set up a task force toThe alliance carries out an investigation into its internal organizational system.  At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security issued a red APB through Interpol and sent police teams to work in the United States. The U.S. side also attaches great importance to the investigation of the case, sent a special trip to China to exchange evidence with the Chinese side, research Joint action plan.  June 23 This year, the United States and China police arrested jointly, the United States captured the Alliance builders Wang Yong, China captured in charge of money laundering and maintenance of the website of more than 10 suspects.  A sad record of the sex industry as a business shortcut? Wang Yong has now been sued by U.S. Manhattan District prosecutors.  According to the existing law in the United States, Wang Yong's crime and penalties, is likely to be sentenced to 50-70 years in prison. Whether it is on trial or serving a sentence, the Chinese government authorities are hoping to repatriate Wang Yong.  At present, the Ministry of Public Security has sent police team to the United States to negotiate repatriation issues. "China is the injured country, ' Sunshine Entertainment Alliance ' members more than 90% are Chinese, the site's entire organization system is almost in China, site moderators, administrators are also in China, child pornography victims are also Chinese children." In addition, Wang Yong's nationality is China, and his annual profit of more than tens of millions of dollars from China. Therefore, we hope that this repatriation will be successful.  "The Chief of the Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Safety of China introduced the main basis for us to repatriate Wang Yong. Moreover, the social problems reflected in the case are also worrying.  More than half of the Chinese members of the Sunshine Entertainment Alliance are 15-30-year-olds, some of them still in school. "Wang Yong once in the personal blog, from the establishment of the first pornographic website to the entire sex union's hair family to show off on the internet, arrogance extremely arrogant." Some college students, instead of ashamed and even adore him, that he in a very short period of time to obtain a huge wealth, is a model of entrepreneurial success. Some young people are according to Wang Yong's appearance hit ' Edge ', it seems that a touch of obscene pornography, advertising fees, click Rate on all come, this became a few so-called ' entrepreneurial ' shortcut.  "The official of the Ministry of Public Security's Network safety bureau said that the crackdown on Internet pornography crime and the maintenance of the net Pure Land require the unison of all the departments and units of the whole society, and it should be paid great attention to the problems of juvenile delinquency.
