Paedophile Ring UncoveredA massive police operation has uncovered an alleged paedophile ring based in Britain with more than 300 members worldwide, it has been revealed.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop), based in London, coordinated a global undercover "sting" which pinpointed alleged key suspects in the UK.
An undisclosed number of children were also rescued from alleged sexual abuse. Officers from Britain, the US, Australia and Canada operated a shift system to infiltrate the suspected paedophile ring on the web. "There have been a number of arrests and a number of children rescued from abuse," Ceop chief executive Jim Gamble said. "We identified an online area used by individuals with a deviant interest in children - in my mind that's a paedophile ring." The news coincides with the start of a major conference in Washington DC on the Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT). The VGT is a joint initiative designed to ensnare online paedophiles across the globe. Mr Gamble said information on the 300-plus alleged paedophiles in other countries will be shared with their local law enforcement agencies.
