The A.P. has reported that British police, with aid from U.S., Australia and Canada have arrested more than 700 suspects in a worldwide internet pedophile ring. 200 suspects are from England. The residency of other suspects has not yet been released. The arrests arise out of an Internet chat room called "Kids the Light of Our Lives." The web site included images of children being sexually abused. The host of the chat room was Timothy Cox, age 27.
Authorities used surveillance tactics developed for targeting drug dealers and terrorists.
Mr. Cox will remain in prison until he is no longer a threat to children. (Hopefully indefinitely.) After Cox's arrest on Sept. 28, 2006, authorities were able to infiltrate the chat room and collect evidence on the other members. Cox's computer had over 75,000 indecent and explicit images.
Gordon Mackintosh, tried to restart the chat room in January. He was arrested in January.
Mackintosh, 33, plead guilty to 27 charges of distributing indecent images.
There is no place for such perverts in today's society. May these gentleman spend the rest of their days behind bars with those who share their deviant vision of life.

Years ago, in another lifetime I used to investigate child abuse cases. These people are the worse of the worst and should be put away for ever.
Perverts! No nice way to say it. Hangem from the highest tree.
