Azov Films Prosecutions

Background

Azov Films was based in Toronto, Canada, and specialized in selling naturist visual material mostly featuring boys participating in nudist gym and camp sports. The films were apparently produced in Eastern Europe. The legality of the material differed from country to country, but was widely believed to be well established in the major market, the U.S.A., which has historically tolerated depictions of underage nudity provided there is no sexual content.

However, the company's website (www.azovfilms.com) closed on or about May 1, 2011, as a result of an international police operation dubbed Project Spade or Operation Spade according to US and Canadian authorities. These authorities have obtained business records from Azov Films including customer e-mail and postal mail addresses and transaction receipts with customer credit card information.

Starting in 2012, some customers of Azov Films have been arrested and charged with receipt and possession of child pornography: some of the nude visual material has been construed as illegal by Law Enforcement Officers ("LEO's"), including agents of the United States Postal Inspection Service ("USPIS"). US Postal Inspector Jeff Adkins, in an Affidavit dated 10/25/2012, states that 160 movies out of the approximately 600 available on the Company website have been "categorized as containing child pornography." [1] However, no list of those 160 titles has been made available to the public.

In May 2015, after a thorough review of the AZOV catalog, a Canadian court decided that 63 AZOV videos contain "child pornography" under Canadian law. [2] [3]

A list of all the English titles of the Azov Films known to date appears on the French Boywiki. [4]

UPDATE April 2016 - PHASE TWO of PROJECT SPADE HAS BEGUN. USPIS is now using the AZOV customer database to compile targets for a sting operation, sending e-mails to invite targets to download child pornography on USPIS-controlled undercover website. These defendants are listed under the sub-heading Phase Two Defendants below.

Defendants

(This may be an incomplete list. All of these individuals should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Azov Films is not yet explicitly cited in the official documentation of some of these cases, but there is strong circumstantial evidence that the alleged pornographic material was their product.)
