Logos Centrs pedophilia case

The Logos Centrs pedophilia case was a criminal scandal and child sexual abuse case that surfaced in Latvia in 1999. Centered on the Riga-based video model agency Logos Centrs, the investigation revealed a network involved in the sexual exploitation of minors, the production of violent pornography, and child prostitution. The case led to the convictions of several individuals, including the manager of the "Miss Latvia" pageant, and implicated high-ranking politicians and businessmen, none of whom were ultimately prosecuted. The scandal drew comparisons to the American financier Jeffrey Epstein, with Latvian media and public figures referring to the case as a Baltic "Epstein" affair.
