A startling new trend in child pornography has been uncovered by cyber crimes investigators.

Nobody is more surprised than the suspects over how some dirty little secrets are being exposed.

An internet predator was shocked when a state trooper instead of an underage girl answered his internet urge for sex.

"Is this the first under aged one for you?" asks an investigator.
"That I was actually going to meet," says the suspect.

Now the internet cops have sprung a new surprise.

Photobucket, a legitimate and popular site for digital family albums, uncovered child pornography stored online.

Three Nebraskans, two of them teenagers, have been arrested.

"Sgt Scott Christensen says, "I think they're surprised when we show up and arrest them for possessing child porn thinking they had distanced themselves enough," says Sgt. Scott Christensen, a Nebraska State Patrol cyber investigator.

The arrests in one week's time led to online seizures of an estimated 1,000 child pornography images.

What concerns investigators about this latest trend they've uncovered in cyber crime is that it makes porn portable.

All that a suspect needs is a remote internet access device that can pull up Photobucket or other storage sites and view child pornography while taking a walk in the park.

One suspect had been using his work computer believing the photo storage site would hide the porn transfer.

"And if he found child porn he liked he also had Photobucket open, and instead of saving it down to his computer, he's saving it out to Photobucket," says Christensen.

Investigators say the tip came from Photobucket which, like all internet photo storage sites, is required by law to report any child porn.

The three suspects thought the disturbing images had been tucked away in a cyber locker until computer cops knocked on their door.

The three suspects arrested have no connection except they all used Photobucket to store child porn.

The 16-year-old has been charged as an adult.

If convicted, all three face up to five years in prison.

That could increase to 20 years for distributing child porn, if investigators prove the suspects gave anyone access codes to view photos on their internet storage site.
