The 17 faces charges of corruption of minors and possession of child pornography.
Over 60 police officers took part in the operation which involved searches of 18 homes.Spain has over last few years stepped up its fight against pedophilia with the use of a progam known as "Hispalis," which allows them to detect and provide names and addresses of Internet users as they are logging on to illicit websites
