Web site containing live 'molestation on demand' shut down

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- An Internet chat room that streamed video of live child molestations has been shut down and 27 people have been charged with online child pornography offenses, federal authorities said Wednesday.

Justice Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials still are looking for one suspect after an undercover sting operation shut down a Web site called "Kiddypics & Kiddyvids."

It was not clear exactly how many suspects had been arrested, but Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago, said, "Most have been [arrested]."
