This statement would probably not be easily verifiable, as it would require looking at all of LS Studio's content:

The deputy head of the department, Vitaly Yarema, said that the bank accounts of the agency, containing hundreds of thousands of dollars, had been frozen. [1] Profits of the agency amounted to millions of dollars. [8] The models never display a notion of coercion. Their expressions are comfortable and relaxed. While clearly staged modeling, the striking aspect is the self esteem and natural desire to be attractive. To tell one of these girls that they were doing something wrong would be quite new information to them. And as perfectly as they are crowned, the proposition would be difficult to persuade them of. In 2005, according to part 3 of Art. 301 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("import, manufacture, sale and distribution of pornographic items"), the organizer of the agency "Alex Model" faced a sentence of 3 to 7 years in prison. [12] Of course, many encyclopedists are uncomfortable with the idea of pedophiles contributing to the encyclopedia ... just as they are probably uncomfortable with the idea of meth dealers or terrorists contributing. Working with people you despise is not so much fun. However, the fact is that if we want Wikipedia to be able to cover infamous crime, we're going to need contributors who are familiar with it. If law enforcement don't provide the details, insiders probably will.

The following statements could be "easily verified by any reasonable adult without specialist knowledge", although such verification may possibly be illegal: Really, the only thing the article gets right is the girls wore beautiful costumes and were photographed in and out of these clothes. From a culturally pertinent POV there was nothing indecent about the photos, and the only girls who simulated kissing and fondling were older and the behavior was entirely age appropriate (no matter how this might offend some, the fact remains 12, 13 and 14 year olds know about sex and are curious about it - and a great many are also quite sexually active). These magazines are targeted at gay and bisexual men, although they may also have some female readers, and may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content and/or male-female content. Such publications include photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other forms of sexual activity. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes. Despite extensive surveillance and eventually the arrest of various "Alex Model" employees across Ukraine, the legal outcome was lenient. Most involved were given suspended sentences. Alexander N. was held several months in a pre-trial detention center and was released.

It is so shiny, the girls’ poise and smiles so perfect, they could be selling household appliances in a 1950s television commercial. And that is what Drew says she offers: old-fashioned values and the kind of book-on-the-head deportment once found in finishing schools.

Mums say they boost self-esteem. Critics say they sexualise kids. We visit the bling-filled frontline of children's beauty pageants.

For inclusion in this list, pornographic magazines must be, or have been, widely available as a printed publication and contain either hardcore or softcore pornographic images.

There is no verifiable source for any informations about "LS Studio". The only information we have is about a child porn ring shutted down in Ukraine. Unless somebody can provide verifiable and reliable source for this studio work, this article has not his place in Wikipedia. I agree for a AfD as WP:V and WP:RS. -- Sam67fr 20:28, 5 April 2006 (UTC) These arguments are valid. None of the referenced articles mention LS Studio by name. And since the actual verifiable output of LS Studio is possibly illegal to verify, it seems that as far as Wikipedia is concerned, LS Studio did not exist. This is unfortunate, because regardless of the controversial nature of LS Studio, it did exist. Criminal group involves 1,500 underage Ukrainian girls in porn business with parents' knowledge". Pravda. 6 April 2005. Archived from the original on 18 October 2007. I'll end with an opinion. I'm no legal expert on porn and stuff, but some scenes look like masturbation, and I bet those would be child porn in a lot of places. I haven't heard that the FBI has arrested anyone for owning a big LS collection, but news reports skip that sort of detail. 194.177.100.34 17:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC) What are you asking for here? Yes this article will be held to a higher standard than a lot of them are because of the subject matter, which is highly controversial. Controversial things are obviously going to get more scruitany. And no, you can't ask someone to verify something by looking at illrgal material, nor can first-hand observation of such material be a source. -- DanielCD 18:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC) Also, the potential value judgments about content (professionally lit and happy girls) have been removed, until some way to verify them can be found.

The operations of the Kyiv-based porn studio came to close law enforcement agencies stopped its operations. As part of the subsequent investigation, the Alex Model agency in Kharkov was discovered. [2] Came across this here, has a bunch of interesting info (although don't worry, no pictures there! lol). Might perhaps add this to the wiki article, such as the pay (10 to 40 dollars per hour, that sounds very very good to me if you are living in the former USSR!!)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LS Studio I'm not satisfied with the outcome of this Afd. There was heavy input from pro-pedophilia pov editors. There was a vote from a brand new user. This Afd vote was their first and last edit. Unless someone can find verifiable reliable sources in the next 48 hours I'm going to start another Afd. The article Child pornography already includes this content so there is no need to merge. FloNight talk 18:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC) A Nexis search turned up nothing for LS Studio and pornography or LS Studio and Ukraine.

Zebruh 05:09, 29 November 2005 (UTC) The raids were conducted after a joint investigation between Ukrainian police and Interpol. Subsequently after initial raids, several other child pornography studios were closed in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Lviv. [7] In 2005, the United States Department of State announced that there was further cooperation between Ukrainian police and other law enforcement agencies internationally. [7]
