Ireland’s High Court on Wednesday cleared the way for the extradition to the United States of a man the Federal Bureau of Investigation has described as the world’s biggest facilitator of child pornography.
The U.S. Attorney General in 2013 asked Ireland to extradite Eric Marques to face four charges of advertising and distributing child pornography as owner and administrator of an anonymous hosting site known as Freedom Hosting.
Marques is accused of using encryption technology to offer an anonymous hosting service for websites with a total of more than 1 million pornographic pictures, including images of rape and torture of pre-pubescent children, an FBI agent told an earlier hearing.
