Two domains associated with NudeLeaksTeens (NLT) were seized by the U.S.
The websites contained sexually explicit images and videos depicting young women and girls.
Despite the websites’ alleged warnings against child sexual abuse material, the site also offered the sale of sexually explicit images and videos of children, according to the DOJ.
Law enforcement in France arrested a 25-year-old man who is suspected of being the main administrator of NLT.
‘Albums’ of explicit photos allegedly stolen from social media
The websites advertised “albums” or “collections” of victims, with many including personal identifying information.
The photos allegedly showed various stages of undress and victims engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Investigators were able to confirm that some of the victims were minors during the time the photos were taken.
NLT also allegedly advertised a collection named for the website, “Nudeleaksteens Collection” which claimed it contained”6200 private nude files leaked of teenagers or adults (mostly American) from hacked snapchats, Instagram, tiktok, facebook accounts[.]”
