WASHINGTON, DC (CNN) - Federal officials say they've busted a major international child porn ring.
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson announced the arrests of more than a dozen men.
Authorities say they ran a child pornography website.
"The primary target of Operation Roundtable was the administrator of a subscription-based website," Johnson said. "The site had more than 27,000 members involved in producing and distributing child pornography on a massive scale. A majority of the victims of these heinous crimes were between the ages of 13 and 15, with two victims under the age of 3. To date, 14 individuals have been arrested in connection to this investigation with additional arrests expected in the United States and overseas."
Investigators say they've identified more than 250 child victims in 39 states and five foreign countries. The suspects are all in federal custody.
