A network of violent pornographic websites has been “crippled” after a Mail on Sunday investigation by Dennis Rice and Andrew Wilks.

According to the paper, Thames Valley Police is considering bringing charges against Frans van der Hulst, who was named in last week’s Mail on Sunday as the man behind a 230-site network of “snuff” movie websites.

The paper says Mastercard and Visa suspended credit card payments to the sites within 24 hours of the story being published.
