A man in his 30s was arrested in Malaysia for possessing a large collection of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The raid, part of a nationwide operation targeting online child exploitation, uncovered over 500GB of CSAM downloaded via BitTorrent links. Police suspect the man also uploaded terabytes of data to other users.
Police arrested a man in his 30s last night after uncovering a large collection of Child Sexual Abuse Material ( CSAM ) on his computer during a raid at his home in Taman Sri Andalas, Klang. In a shocking discovery, authorities found files labelled with terms such as “Kids Porn”, “Child Porn” and “Rape”.The suspect, an employee at an electrical appliance store, was at home with his family when police arrived at his double-storey residence.
The raid was part of “Op Pedo Bersepadu PDRM-MCMC,“ an operation conducted by Bukit Aman’s Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division (D11) and the Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). Officers from the Forensic Laboratory Division (D10) and Technical Assistance Division (D6) supported the operation, which spanned six states. Initial checks revealed the suspect had downloaded over 500GB of pornographic material, including CSAM, via BitTorrent links. To provide context, 500GB of storage can typically hold around 125,000 MP3 songs, with each song averaging 4 megabytes (MB) in size. Some files were downloaded just hours before the raid, while several others dated back to earlier this year. Further investigations indicated the man had uploaded terabytes of data to other users, raising concerns about the scale of distribution. Police seized the suspect’s computer and router and brought him to the South Klang police headquarters for further questioning. Senior assistant commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan, principal assistant director of Bukit Aman’s Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11), highlighted troubling trends where increased access to such pornography has emboldened predators, with some even resorting to child abduction attempt
