"Friends of Models" Website Operated by Convicted Child Molester

Friends Of Web Models Logo

"Friends Of Web Models" was a forum for pedophiles which promoted various child modeling websites. The forum was operated by a convicted child sex offender known as James Frazee AKA Cd8dad, who also happened to operate his own child modeling agency on top of the forum; that is until he was busted:

2 Charged in Monroe Child Porn Web Site

A registered sex offender and his girlfriend, who have been living in Monroe, are being held on federal and state charges of operating a child pornographic Web site that earned them up to $1,000 a week, federal officials said.

James Frazee, 52, who was convicted of sexually assaulting a girl younger than 13 in 1990 and 1993, is being held in the Monroe County jail and faces federal prosecution for possession of child pornography. His girlfriend, Patricia Podgajski, 45, is in the Wayne County jail on federal sexual exploitation of a minor charges.

 U.S. Assistant Attorney Louis Gabel said the couple had been operating a child pornography Web site involving a picture of minor. "They were taking pictures (of at least one) minor and selling those images over the Internet," Mr. Gabel said. "Some were wearing provocative clothing."Mr. Gabel said federal authorities are continuing to examine computer images seized from the couple's rented home on Winchester St. There were an estimated 500,000 images on the computer that authorities are now reviewing. It is not known how many are considered child pornography."

Being charged as a recidivist sexual offender, it's unlike we will see him online any time soon. With Frazee in the slammer the Friends Of Web Models forum quickly disappeared from the internet; however one of the moderators from the forum, Neil Eagle AKA Vanwarrior of Glossop, United Kingdom - took it upon himself to set up some new forums, similar in style to the original Friends Of Web Models website.

Eagle named his new forums "Web Models Supporters Forum;" true to its predecessor, Eagle provides a forum where pedophiles can drool over and exchange comments about "sample images" of girls uploaded by various child modeling websites.

"G-rated and appropriate for all"

Rodney Kress

This is how Rodney Kress, the owner of TeenModeling.Tv describes his child modeling agency:

"Teen Modeling TV provides a high profile portfolio presence for teen models and child models as well as photographers and other associated talent. The site functions much the same as MySpace. Teen Modeling TV Community members can upload and update their own profiles with images, content and video, browse other portfolios and add images to the community galleries! Lots of cool interactive functions are being added, helping TMTV to function much better as a networking resource and as a medium of exposure for aspiring and professional talent. Uploaded images are moderated before going live on the site keeping the site content g-rated and appropriate for all. Casting agents, scouts, fans and everyone interested is invited to participate."

Essentially, Rodney tries to portray his website as a place where children looking to be models can get a start at their dream career. The reality however couldn't be further from the truth.

Apart from the introductory message, Rodneys agency appears to be like any other child modeling agency which has come before it. In fact before Rodney published his message about being "G-rated" and having "lots of cool interactive functions" and moved his all his images to SnapGalaxy, his websites even looked pretty much the same as other modeling websites and even used the some of the same models:

"Hope" model (not her real name) was featured on child modeling websites produced by the Webe Web Corporation (left hand side image) shortly before the owners of the websites were arrested, charged and sentenced for child pornography offenses. After Webe Web closed down, Rodney thought it would be a good idea to bring Hope to his agency. He later changed his mind and dropped her, this is allegedly a comment made by Hopes mother on the matter:

"Hey Everyone,I wanted everyone to know that Rodney at teenmodeling Tv dropped Hope and Ashley from his site.He wasn’t happy with the choice of Marie Modeling for TTB (FYI: "Marie" is "Hopes" older sister) so he doesn’t want to work with me or my Models.I’m sorry it had to end this way,but I really don’t think it was any of his businness about what Marie did,but he did and he pulled Hope and Ashley down off his site this Morning."

In his introductory message, Rodney exclaims: "Casting agents, scouts, fans and everyone interested is invited to participate." - At a glance this sounds innocent enough, but let me ask you: what exactly does a fan or someone interested in Rodneys website look like?


Hmmmm?


...Well, I can show you, here's one now:

Meet Kevin Lagasse of New Britain, Connecticut.

Kevin has a long history of involvement in child modeling websites and forums, he's currently active on the Web Models Supporters Forum, where Rodney uploads samples of his TeenModeling.Tv material. Here's some comments made by Kevin (AKA KL71):

:wub As awesomely beautiful as Jaycie is in these bikini previews, her next set looks even more beautiful than this...despite the fact she's showing LESS skin overall. Khaki shorts anyone? :cool_thumb

People like Rodney Kress aren't about making children's dreams come true or furthering anyone's  career but their own. They're self-serving: driven by greed, manipulating and exploiting whoever they can in order to generate a profit. While the images of the children photographed will circulate the internet amongst perverts like Kevin Lagasse for an eternity.

There's plenty more information to come on people like this.

Expect us.

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.
