A French United Nations aid worker in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been arrested for manufacturing pornographic videotapes of young girls.
The unidentified logistics expert worked at Goma airport on the country's east coast as part of the U.N.'s $700 million-a-year effort to rebuild the war-shattered country, the Times of London reported.
Acting on a tip, police set up a sting operation using a 12-year-old girl as bait. When they raided his home, they discovered he had turned his bedroom into a studio for videotaping and photographing sex sessions with young girls.
The bed was surrounded by large mirrors on three sides with a camera operated by remote control on the remaining side, a senior Congolese police officer said.
Officers also seized three homemade porn videos and more than 50 photographs.
U.N. insiders told the newspaper a Ukrainian and a Canadian had to leave their U.N. posts and the country after getting local women pregnant.
