Police Smash 'Biggest Ever' Paedo Network - exposes 70,000 members

British police have helped smash what they believe is the biggest-ever online paedophile network.

Hundreds of child abusers have been arrested and many jailed during the three-year, global operation.

The investigation exposed more than 70,000 network members in the UK, United States, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil, where first evidence of the crimes emerged.

The Australians charged with involvment in the ring were aged from 19 to 84 years old.

Grant Edwards, of the Australian Federal Police, said: "These are heinous sexual predators."

3. How do children stand a chance when these kinds of numbers are seeking to harm them?
Edited on Wed Mar-16-11 09:42 AM by FedUpWithIt All
And predators do not simply harm one child or offend one time. They are often guilty of many many offenses. When consideration is given, to the 1 in 4 abused stats, a very disturbing conclusion begins to emerge about prevalence of predators in society.

Seriously heartbreaking when you think of the long term devastation these offenses cause children.

I am tired of this planet
