SONYAGATE – or: The end of LoLand.

The „glamorous pussies“ from the Kiev clubs and the Hackers Anonymous.

In his report on the LS studio, which was published on February 13, 2019, El Espanol also took a brief look at the current scene in Kiev. The reality that he described in general terms under the title „Ukraine and the sexualization of girls“ happened to break out a few days later in a very concrete and much more blatant way than suggested. However, the new case of child pornography production, at the center of which was the seven-year-old girl Sonya, had already been reported somewhat earlier. The first clue probably appeared purely by chance the day before on the imageboard ‚2 Chan‘, called ‚Dvach‘, of the Kiev Hacker Anonymous.

This group also claims to have identified the first people involved. In the following, I will first reproduce the public reporting on the basis of a Ukrainian internet platform of the journalistic mainstream, in order to then counteract and complete it with contributions from the Hacker Anonymous movement.

Reporting in the Poltava News.

On February 25, the following report appeared in Poltava News (Poltava = city and oblast of the same name in the east of Kiev):

„Police in Poltava region uncovers child porn studio in Kiev: Children aged 9 to 17 involved.„

https://poltava.to/news/50039

February 25, 2019, 10:27

„Law enforcement officers from Ukraine, together with colleagues from the United Kingdom [!], have uncovered a child porn studio in Kiev after a victim from the Poltava region filed a complaint.“

„Police in the Poltava region have detained the operator of [the] child porn studio…. According to the regional police press service, the detainee organized, directed, participated in and took photos and videos of pornographic material with young and underage children in various rented photo studios in the capital. He sold the images in the anonymous segment of the internet to customers he found in specialized forums.“ [The name of this studio was LoLand, presumably a portmanteau of Lolita and Land; mb.]

„The cyber police announced further details…. It turned out that the 50-year-old Kiev man was selling photo and video material featuring Ukrainian children. So far, 5 children aged 9 to 17 have been identified as victims of this man. The illegal content filmed by the studio has been distributed and sold through various resources of the TOR network – an anonymous segment of the Internet.“

„The employees of the Kyiv office of the Ukrainian National Police cyber police received information from the British law enforcement agencies (National Crime Agency and West Midlands Regional Organized Crime Unit) that a studio producing pornographic videos with children may be operating in Ukraine.“

„The investigators of the National Police Department in the Poltava region initiated criminal proceedings for the incident under Article 301 Part 4 (import, production, sale and distribution of pornographic items) of the Ukrainian Criminal Code.“

„[The operator of the studio] took part in the video recordings… with the participation of his 21-year-old accomplice. He paid minors between 500 and 1,500 hryvnias [between 15 and 50 euros at the time; mb] for the filming. The content was then sold to the European Union, Asia and America.“

„After the information about his illegal activities spread on the Internet [in 2Chan? mb.], the operator began to destroy evidence. As a result, the police decided to arrest him on February 23 and search his home.“

„In addition, during the search of the operator’s rented apartment, law enforcement found two underage girls that the perpetrator intended to use to make pornographic videos.“

„On February 28, 2019, the Ukrainian cyber police reported the successful arrest of a young accomplice. The 21-year-old Kiev resident could not be arrested at first because he was in hiding. It was also reported that psychologists were working with the 6 children who have now been identified.“

It later became known that a total of around 60 children [= minors under 18, see https://poltava.to/news/52227/ had „passed“ the studio. 300,000 photos, some dating back to the days of analog photography, and several thousand videos are said to have been confiscated. The large number means that the organizer not only produced material, but also procured it himself, which proves him to be a paedophile. The self-produced material was mainly distributed to foreign customers, as they were able to pay more for it. For example, the law enforcement authorities recorded the receipt of a [single!] sum of around 47,000 US dollars on one of his numerous crypto wallets [what I cannot believe;].

Here Poltava News refers to the investigations of the Anonymous from Imageboard Dvach:

„Interestingly [!], a full investigation (with addresses, social media pages, phone numbers of the organizers of the porn studio) was conducted by users of the anonymous imageboard (forum) Dvach . It was only the complaint of a resident of the Poltava region on February 18, 2019 that got the ball rolling. The applicant attached a USB stick with all the evidence collected by Dvach.“ https://poltava.to/news/52227/

Presumably, this complainant from Poltava was one of the two anonymous researchers from the Dvach imageboard.

At the beginning of August 2019, the detention of the man arrested as the „organizer“ was changed to house arrest on bail, as there was no risk of influencing witnesses and Oleg Morgun, as his name has now been announced, had no criminal record and a „positive character“.

The prosecution is now focusing primarily on the 21-year-old accomplice and porn actor. While Morgun is only suspected of producing pornography, Mykhailo Kabatin is also suspected of seduction and, most seriously, rape of minors.

After Morgun failed to comply with the conditions of his house arrest, he was arrested and detained again on August 21 in a rented apartment in Kiev. https://poltava.to/news/52302

Presentation from the perspective of Anonymous hackers

[Source: mainly https://neolurk.org/wiki/Sonyagate]

Background

„In the second half of 2018 … a video appeared on the onion network in which an 8-year-old loli [=girl; it must be Sonya, see below, mb.] in an embroidered vyshyvanka [jacket with traditional Eastern Slavic embroidery patterns, especially common in Ukraine; mb.] engaged in inappropriate behavior with two women and a kun [younger man]. The video itself, according to those who saw it, was shit, the main actors looked bored and lacked initiative. But the kicker was that, unlike other producers of such content, the protagonists, including the loli, didn’t hide their faces, demonstrating a phenomenal kinkiness at the prospect of going to jail.“

„In late 2018 – early 2019, the video was leaked to pedo channels outside the Onion network, where it was discovered by an indifferent [translation questionable] anonymous person, whereupon it all started to spin…“

The essentials

„As soon as the CP clips got into the hands of ‚Anonymous‘, an ongoing search began … which within two weeks grew into a full-scale investigation and eventually a conspiracy theory, as the authorities and media failed to respond.“

Another quote from an archived imageboard source on the media’s lack of response:

„Anons sent letters to the media, almost all were ignored (in the Ukrainian media – all.) Internet request to the SBU did not pass the filter, to the National Police – was accepted, but no response, 8 days passed. Around the 15th day there was a Kiev anon-hero who filed a complaint to the National Police of Ukraine…, there is still no news about the arrest of the organizers of the studio.“ https://arhivach.top/thread/429359/#191921500

„Initially, faces were hunted down and found in Kontaktiks [the Russian Facebook imitation Vk or VKontakte] with the help of the searchface.ru neural network, after which anonymous people who knew the names easily found out information about the participants:“

Sonya
Karina Orlova
Maria Virich
Mikhail Kabatin
Alex Kenon

„Sonya 1550898674515.jpeg [alternatively: https://arhivach.top/thread/429359/#191921500 #308] is the girl in the video. Even after two weeks of searching, she was not found [by Anonymous]. All Anon learned was the name whispered in one of the videos by someone behind the scenes [from another source I have that in the video you could hear an off-screen voice half shouting to the 8 or 10 year old girl during a sex scene: „moan, Sonya, moan“ – so much for the nonsense of this porn production]. That gave the whole story its name [Sonyagate] and has most likely already been found by the paladins of the Home Office. Judging by what was said on a TV program on the subject, she has been introduced to the world of fashion, glitz and beauty of pornography by her own sister.„

„Karina Orlova is a glamour kitty, 17 years old at the time of the investigation (born August 3, 2001). In the video she wears a nurse outfit from the sleaziest sex store, undresses loli and rubs her „jam“. Was identified by her portacos … [and certain facial features; as well as allegedly by a tattoo]. She knew the cameraman and director when she was still a loli herself, as old photos of her and her „pack“ prove. She is the Melissa model from the old LoLand project (but without the CP). She was a dancer and gymnast as a child, and judging by old profiles, she dreamed of

„Maria Virich…was 17 years old at the time of the investigation (born November 25, 2001). In the video she was with her boyfriend, who was also directly involved [M. K; see below], where she was using a loli tongue [?] and a dildo [vibrator ? She was quickly found on VKontakte because of her face and eternally open mouth…

 

„Mikhail Kabatin – a lover with increasing baldness when it comes to sticking penis and various improvised objects into lolis in front of the camera, and part-time friend of Masha Virich, 19 years old at the time of filming. He was not immediately discovered because he shaved his head bald for the video in which he has sexual intercourse with a loli. A typical Zoomer [?] student of the Kiev Sharaga [presumably Kiev student jargon for university, originally for secret laboratories in the Gulag system], a lover of clubbing, CS, PUBG… As soon as the story came to light, he was terrified and tried to fuck off,

„Alex Kenon, aka Evgeniy Oleg Morgun is a cameraman, director, photographer and lover of little girls in every sense of the word. In fact, he organized, filmed and actively participated [?] in the CP. His exposure took the longest, because despite a seemingly good conspiracy (he had no profiles/photos online, his

„3 terabytes of CP (according to the investigation, many files had descriptive names such as „SASHA ANAL BONE“, „KARISHA BARBIE SPERM“, „SONYA SPERM VIDEO“ and the like), as well as books on child and adolescent psychology/neurology and crypto wallets with round sums from grateful customers […were found in his possession. Here the text is probably based on official sources]. „As the Ukrainian police later found out, the pron was on assignment with minors and received orders from foreign nationals who selected girls from the photographer’s „portfolio“. The portfolio was notable because the pedo photographer had been collecting photos of lolis since the days of movie soapboxes. He was arrested, he asked to be released under house arrest for a short time, but while he was preparing to buy a car [?], he was arrested again – this time with no options. He did not wait for the trial and decided to go straight to the trial against God a year after his arrest. [See below for more on this allusion. The picture above is from Poltava News from Sept. 15, 2020]“

Complete chronology of the events

12-13.02.2019

„[Determining the identity of the actors using their facial images as found in the video] The brave Anonymous… immediately found pages of two sexually mature leading ladies who, to his surprise, led a quiet life, hanging out in clubs and smoking hookah. They turned out to be Maria Virich and Karina Orlova. Full of righteous anger, Anon immediately created a thread calling for [the two women] to be pursued and for all authorities to be called in who could have an influence on their containment.“

14-18.02.2019

During this time, the following were found:

the pages and CVs of all the people involved;

their friends;

their relatives;

almost all their addresses;

From the video we were able to find out the name of Loli (Sonya);

and, most importantly, Alex Kenon [real name Oleg Morgun].

 

18-23.02.2019 – Sonyagate

„Anonymous was running out of steam. The silence of the authorities and the media, the lack of response from the police with written statements and a full set of evidence led Anon to believe that the studio is … [protected] at a very high level. The name #sonyagate emerged, in honor of the loli from the video, whose identity remained a mystery to Anonymous despite a long search.“

„In desperation, Anonymous wrote requests to Interpol, UNICEF, knocked on the door of the prosecutor’s office, and unsuccessfully laid tracks on 4Chan ([an analog forum,] where the topic was called „Ukrainian Pizzagate“) and on Ukrainian forums, to the point where people from Kiev gathered to distribute provocative leaflets in the city and at the residences of the people involved. … And suddenly…“

24.02.2019

„… the news about the arrest of a certain paedophile videophile from the capital falls like a thunderbolt from a clear sky… Oleg Morgun was unmistakably identified on the [official] video of the arrest. At the beginning of the video you could hear: „Surname? – Morgun. Mor-goon.“ VICTORY.“

„The message said that the Ukrainian National Police had taken the porn studio „with the help of British intelligence services,“ which generated a lot of lulz in the victory threads… [the Anonymous hackers] were called „British intelligence services“ / 1099942933468459008″ for some reason… In addition to the official articles about the arrest of the organizer, the media began publishing articles celebrating the Legion’s victory. At the time of writing, anonymous individuals were attempting to contact ‚Anonymous‘ for an interview about what happened.“

28.02.2019

„Pedo main actor Mikhail Kabatin, who had been hiding in the basement away from the usual haunts after the hoopla began, was finally caught up with by the brave paladins of the Interior Ministry.“

05.08.2019

„Morgun, who has lost a lot of weight and is fed up with prison food, was able to obtain a change from prison arrest to house arrest, about which there were several angry articles in the Ukro media. However, on August 20, the paladins of the Ministry of Internal Affairs found that the CP lover … had ignored the court’s request to diligently report to the authorities and not leave his place of residence. And already on August 21, the cyber police confronted Morgun in his rented apartment, and he was condemned to wait behind bars for his trial.“

07.11.2019

„Ukropolitsai found a third pedo performer who turned out to be the only defendant whose intelligence was higher than that of a moron, because he was filmed wearing a mask, and when the fidgeting began, he moved abroad. We are talking about a certain Konstantin Romanovich Kerch.“

20.01.2020

„Sonyagate led to the death of one of the defendants: Oleg Morgun died in the pre-trial detention center. According to official information, the cause was chronic heart disease, but we-know-something….„

„The story continues, Anon: We are waiting for news about the other defendants in the case.“

A moment of reflection

„It cannot be said that the above described […] was pure and transparent… The joy of Anonymous is overshadowed by the fact that he [who or what?] … obstructed a genuine investigation [?], and earned the vicious, fierce HATE of the half of the forum who shrieked that „Oldfags shouldn’t fight CP! Bees shouldn’t fight honey!““

[This is not the only suggestion in the entire Anonymous Hackers report that their initiative included pedophiles who already had some familiarity with the scene and/or the videos. The images and the „lolis“ on them would then have been the honey against which they – as bees – would now have been forced to fight themselves].

„The real point of Sonyagate is … that another festering boil on society’s ass called the board has burst and splattered everything. … Instead of mindlessly picking on loli, [Anonymous or Anon]… was thinking, and the blatant impunity interested him more than a reason to pick on. In addition to impunity… the essence of glamorous pussies from the clubs with the colorful photos on Instagram came out once again… Given that the main actresses – Orlova, Virich and many others – are lolis themselves and have worked closely with the CP seller, there is little room in their minds for the idea that sex with minors is immoral or wrong, and, as Anonymous noted, „if they are used as children, they will only be used in the future.„“

______________

Once again, Portawa News:

„The organizers and participants in the production of child porn have been exposed by users of the anonymous forum.“

https://poltava.to/news/54776/ March 15, 2020, 10:28

Here we find confirmation that the mainstream press – or at least the Poltava News – has adequately portrayed the work of the Anonymous Hackers. The official sources, according to Poltava News, said little about the identification process and spoke only of the indictment of this one victim and the report by their British colleagues. Poltava News accepts without question the account that the three porn actors and the organizer were identified by two Anonymous members, as well as the girl [Sonya].

The last thing I can find at Poltava News, and at all, are these rather resigned-sounding lines:

„So far, only one person – Mikhail Kabatin – can realistically expect to be punished…. The last court hearing on Kabatin’s indictment was to take place at the Dniprovskyi District Court in Kyiv. The date for the next hearing is not yet known.“

I could not find any further reports on this case.

According to an anonymous post [in the archived 2Chan thread from 12.1.20], forensic medicine found a torn hymen and a distended anus in the youngest performer [Sonya?]. No source is given.

________________________

How well Sonya and her colleagues (not mentioned above) have endured all this, and whether they have suffered any damage, can perhaps be better assessed if the following text is included in the assessment:

Little Girls and Sex: A Glimpse at the World of the Child Prostitution.*

Here, an American professor of sociology describes his findings based on interviews with girls who prostituted themselves before the age of 12 and/or actively participated in the production of child pornography.

And here is the story of another girl who became famous for her nude photographs (taken partly by her mother, who had a sexual interest in her):

Eva Ionesco I – The Scandal Child

Eva Ionesco II – „The Children of the Night“. News from her wildest years (11-13).

Eva I., the youngest model ever to appear in a Playboy centerfold (at the age of 11), after having been the object of her mother’s pornographic recordings for years and having been referred by her to Polanski for sexual intercourse, and to the naked-girl photographer Bourboulon, and finally had to do sexual nude scenes in Maladolescenza (Puppy Love) in the leading role, tells in her two autobiographical childhood accounts how she experienced her mother’s sexual interest in her, and what she undertook sexually – out of revenge, or because she soon thought herself mature enough. Now she tells in her two autobiographic books.
