Congratulations Police Force!

Police have smashed a global Internet paedophile ring with 700 members and rescued more than 30 children from abuse, a spokesman said on Monday.

Detectives targeted an Internet chatroom where members from 35 countries swapped thousands of indecent pictures and films of children.

Undercover officers gathered evidence at the site, called "Kids the Light of Our Lives", before arresting its host, Timothy Cox, 27, from Suffolk.

Police found nearly 76,000 explicit images and 1,100 videos on his computer. He supplied thousands of pictures to others, using the online name "Son of God".

Cox pleaded guilty to charges of possession and distribution of indecent images of children and is due to be sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court this week.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), which led the investigation, said the case was a "powerful warning" to paedophiles.

"Any individual who thinks they carry out such horrific activities undetected is in for a very rude awakening," said CEOP Chief Executive Jim Gamble. "The belief that the Internet provides anonymity is unfounded."

Cox was arrested after Canadian police passed information to their British counterparts last summer.

Officers from Britain, Canada, the United States and Australia took part in the investigation.

Police identified 700 members of the site, including 200 in Britain, while 31 children have been rescued from abuse, CEOP said.

A second man who tried to revive the site after Cox's arrest was arrested in January.

Gordon Mackintosh, 33, from Hertfordshire, had 5,000 explicit images of children on his computer. He used the online nicknames "Silent Black Heart" and "Lust4skoolgurls".

Death to all? Death to those with indecent images, or just death to those that commit sexual acts?

Alll, it's a mental illness that can't be cured and is a great danger to society, especially it's most vulnerable members. They should be beheaded in public so that their dirty friends can see what will happen to them if they don't stop.

hang on a second, you said they cant be cured, so what good would beheading do? how will that help them stop?


anway - well done to the police good job, this is going to help alot.


but at the same time i dont understand why so many people have a knee jerk reaction to pedophilia. their are diffrent degrees of pedophilia obviously someone who rapes children etc deserves the most harshest of sentences but theirs a diffrence between doing it, and just looking a picture on the net especially if their not sexual. their are loads of legal naked pictures of children out their, like family photo albums, now while it is sick to look at such things in that manner, why should they suffer the same fate as an actual child rapest?

its like rapeing a women and slapping her bottom carrying the same sentence, silly.

not funny.

Actually paedophiles receive psychological treatment, so apparently it can be cured or at least treated.

Not that I'm against the sentiments here, but we musn't get to knee-jerk Sun here and end up burning down the house of a paedotrician.

see i dont know about the mentally ill idea. its like saying i like blondes and you like brunettes so one of us is mentally ill. its a sexual preference albeit a very very wierd one. i think the mental issue is that they abuse children as opposed to you know...asking them out on a date

See, trick is to have an innocuous sounding username. I guess it's better than G.Mackintosh33Ilovechildreninunderwear

I hope all paedophiles are as dumb we'd live in a safer society.

looking at pictures of naked children is abuse?


I thought getting children to undress for pics was abuse, but the article makes no mention of that, they just say that being a member of the site and having the pics on your computer is already breaking the law.

I dont agree with that. The important bit is how did these people get these pics? Just off the internet or were they actually responsible for getting minors to perform sexual acts?

[Gary88]

you dont have a problem with child porn?

[RZZZA]

no, not at all. Just looking at it or having it on your computer?


Its a victimless crime. Its like being arrested for looking at pictures of drugs on your computer.

Supply and demand... If there is demand for it then there will always be people willing to make it.

You tried to molest children without a head? Not too easy.

[Carach]

You just slipped right down my respect list... riiiiiiiight down to the bottom (YES! below even the neoliberals like erik and shaun... oh dear oh dear oh dear)

Defending child porn. I cant believe how disgraceful you have just become, it is physically sickening. (maybe we should report him? he might be one of those peados that got away?)

[removeduser_487563287433]

Hrmmmp.... you can't really allow a market for it.
