Rodney and the Forbidden Realms

Philip Thompson AKA "Librarian" of Stockton-on-Tees, UK

19 August 2008:

Fifteen British children have been saved from a life of sexual abuse after undercover police smashed a worldwide internet paedophile ring.

At its centre was 27-year-old Philip Thompson, dubbed 'the librarian' after police recovered a million photographs and films of children that were stored electronically at his home. He was senior administrator of an online forum where 10,000 members traded sickening images - some showing rape...

Forum members, introduced by a trusted 'friend', would post disturbing pictures of children on the forum - most of them borderline legal - before commenting on the images. They would then arrange to meet in an online 'private room' outside the forum where they could share their depraved lusts and swap horrific images. 

Thompsons partner in crime was Kevin Rose AKA "The Lord" of Winnipeg, Canada:

The bulk of the photos involved nude posing and did not include sex acts. Police also uncovered chat room logs in which Rose solicited nude photos of children, "not spread shots."

"This isn't stuff he downloaded from the Internet, it's stuff he requested," said Crown attorney Terry McComb.

In the child modeling world they're referred to as "custom shoots"or "custom sets" - made to order sets of up to 100 images, more often than not, of illegal images. Thompson and Rose operated the pedophile forum known as "The Forbidden Realms." As mentioned above, the forums were established as a place where pedophiles could share child modeling images with each other and network in to trade illegal images privately.

Rose didn't just operate The Forbidden Realms, he had also purchased the Russian based child modeling agency "Shadow Land Modeling" - which he renamed to be "FReasternproductions" (stands for "Forbidden Realms Eastern Productions").

Shadow Land Modeling

There are rumors that the children from "FReasternproductions" have been used in the production of child pornography images. Since the Forbidden Realms had dissolved after the arrest of its senior members, the photographer who had operated Shadow Land Modeling and then FReasternproductions had to find a new place to go.


Any guesses as to where he went next?


Wait for it....

Rodney Kress acquired him and set him up with a place on his website so that he could continue to produce his child modeling images which he has done to this day. He currently goes by the name "Nick" and still photographs many of the same girls which were used back on Shadow Land Modeling.

The 14th of November - A Day of Reprisal

Greetings citizens of the world,

We are Anonymous.

Today marks the birth of a new campaign directed at addressing websites which sell non-nude sexually suggestive images of children to pedophiles over the internet.

For over a decade child modeling websites have operated with impunity, producing photographs of children (mostly young girls) for the sexual pleasure of pedophiles. Due to the fact that the children being photographed aren't entirely naked, law enforcement agencies are unable to prosecute the individuals involved in producing and marketing these images (please note, that while members of the law enforcement community find these images just as distasteful as you or I, their hands are tied on the matter).

 #OpExposure aims to expose the unscrupulous individuals involved in child modeling agencies who are ultimately responsible for the production of these images.

It's no coincidence that we should choose the 14th of November to mark the beginning of this campaign, as this is a significant day on the calender for the pedophiles which collect these images. The 14th of November is the birthday of probably the most well-known child model in the world, a girl known as "Sandra" (not her real name). Sandra is Russian girl who was featured on child modeling websites since a young age and continued modeling up until only recently (she's now in her twenties). During the time in which she modeled she was used to also produce child pornography images.

"Sandra" - Child Model

What's happening to these children is unethical and has no place in a civilized society, they're being exploited and something needs to be done to ensure the people responsible are held accountable for it.

Rodney Kress of TeenModeling.TV

The first child modeling agency of interest, operates out of Boulder, Colorado of the United States and is known as "TeenModeling.TV" (TMTV). TeenModeling.TV was formed in the early 2000's, by Rodney Kress, who has operated and expanded the agency significantly since then.

Throughout the years in which TMTV has been active, Kress has acquired models from other child modeling agencies such as "FReasternproductions" (an off-shoot of the now defunct Forbidden Realms Forums which were closed due to child pornography) and the Webe Web Corporation which operated "ChildSuperModels" (and was also closed due to child pornography).

Today TeenModeling.TV is one of the largest active child modeling websites available, having had well over a 100 child models on their roster. Rodney promotes his agency by uploading sample images on the Web Models Supporters Forum (WMSF) - a forum where pedophiles congregate to get their jollies off over the images provided. The following comments come from the WMSF forums and were made in regards to photos of prepubescent girls from TMTV:

"Gorgeous hosed legs and feet :heart :heart :heart :heart :heart"

Kress uses a unique system for selling his child modeling images, a website known as "SnapGalaxy" which hosts and provides the software required. If SnapGalaxy were to discontinue to their service to Rodney, it would cripple his ability to source an income for his agency.

We implore you to ask SnapGalaxy for yourself why they allow their service to used as a means to sexually exploit children:

Child modeling websites are a problem which has been allowed to continue unopposed for far too long, now is the time for action.
