The accused ringleader is Christian Maire, a 40-year-old married father of two from New York who was sentenced to 40 years in prison for running an online porn operation that sexually exploited more than 100 girls nationwide, including an Oakland County girl who helped the FBI bust the scheme in 2017.The operation started in 2012, though arrests did not occur for another five years.

The "Talkers" were in charge of talking to the girls online to get them to engage with the group's members.

'Get them help'Another victim - a 14-year-old girl who was 10 when the men exploited her online - told the judge she "regretted 100 percent" going into the chat room.

Prosecutors described him as a "callous" predator who was considered the "best of the best" at recruiting girls in the group and used his technological skills to help the group avoid detection by law enforcement.
