Indian-origin psychiatrist jailed for running dark web child abuse site in UK

London, Jun 23 (PTI) A London-based Indian-origin psychiatrist has been sentenced to six years’ imprisonment by a UK court for his role in helping run a dark web child abuse site.

Dr Kabir Garg, 33, was identified by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) as one of the moderators of a site called “The Annex”, which had around 90,000 members worldwide with hundreds of links to child abuse material shared every day.

He pleaded guilty in January to eight charges, including facilitating the sexual exploitation of children, three counts each of making and distributing indecent images of children, and possession of prohibited images.
