Federal prosecutors say four members of a neo-Nazi group ran a child exploitation ring that coerced minors into producing sadistic, abusive pornography.

Members of the group “participated in their online child exploitation activities because they wanted to create an army of sadist followers.”

Four men who an indictment claims espouse neo-Nazi beliefs have been charged with child exploitation in a case in which they coerced 16 children to create child pornography.

Two men were arrested Tuesday, charged with being part of a neo-Nazi group that exploited children and coerced them to produce child porn. They were charged, along with two others, with running a "child exploitation enterprise.
