A ringleader in a global monkey torture network exposed by the BBC has been charged by US federal prosecutors.
Michael Macartney, 50, who went by the alias “Torture King”, was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing videos.
Mr Macartney was one of three key distributors identified by the BBC Eye team during a year-long investigation into sadistic monkey torture groups.
Two women have also been charged in the UK following the investigation.

I didn’t say that. No interest whatsoever in your pisspoor understanding and attempt at using words you do not know how to use.
Lol that’s actually really funny. I know exactly what I said and why. I don’t think you have the reading comprehension to actually understand my words and attempts at using them.
Indeed, your attempts. Again, I have no interest.
You just don’t want to be wrong. Which plays into your projection of ignorant views. Also, do you think I care about your interests?
