Santiago prosecutor Raul Martinez says that several of the minors being questioned by the youth court judge for involving themselves with a pornographic website will assist them in identifying the people responsible. Martinez said that while no one has been arrested yet, they are working on various leads to solve the case. Judge Antia Beato said that approximately 50 youths from the Santiago slum neighborhoods of Baracoa, La Joya, La Cambronal and La Otra Banda, many between the ages of 13 to 15, posed for photographers who told them the photos would be used to find them spouses abroad. Despite the ongoing investigation, the photos are still online.
US law obliges such models to sign a release and show legal form of ID to certify that they are of legal age. US laws apply in this situation because the website is hosted from the United States. If the website owner cannot produce these documents to prove the models are all adults and have signed releases, then a legal case can be filed against them and their operations shut down. In the case of those models who signed releases and are of legal age, there is no course of action to be taken. For more on the topic, see http://dr1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35266&page=2&pp=15
