Three men suspected of using a dark web streaming site that hosted tens of thousands of child sexual abuse videos have been identified by police in Northern Ireland.
Two of the men were arrested and released last month, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said.
Officers also seized a number of electronic devices during searches of the three suspects' homes.
It follows the removal of the site Kidflix, described by the EU's crime agency Europol as "one of the largest paedophile platforms in the world."
