15. Project Cleanfeed was introduced in the aftermath of
Operation Ore, an operation in the UK that formed a
part of a large-scale international police operation to
track down pedophiles on the Internet, under which
6,500 police investigations, 1,200 arrests, and 655
convictions were made in the country. The accused
were identified based on credit-card information
used to access a pedophile Web site hosted in the
United States, passed on to the UK by the FBI. (The
U.S. counterpart of the project, which preceded
Operation Ore, is known as Operation Avalanche).
