and it will continue after today, even though it is extremely resource intensive." She added: "Our priority so far has been to identify those individuals on the list that pose the greatest threat to children now. The Met's Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Carole Howlett, said today's raids represented the single largest operation of its kind mounted so far by the force. In addition, 40 children nationwide - 28 of them in London - had been identified as being at risk of being abused and appropriate steps had been taken with other agencies to ensure that all the youngsters were safe.īefore today's arrests, the Metropolitan Police had executed 75 warrants across the capital with 65 arrests and more than 130 computers seized.Īlthough 7,000 suspected users of "pay-per-view" child pornography sites based in the US were identified in Britain, Mr Gamble said the actual number of offenders would probably be lower, partly due to duplicates. Mr Gamble said the 50 officers were among 1,200 Britons who had been identified as "category one or two" suspects - those who posed the greatest potential risk to children. "Police officers are member of the communities that they serve and there will be good people and bad people in the police." We want you to know about that to reassure you. "Fifty police officers have been identified and we are not hiding that fact. "As police officers, we should expect to be held accountable," he said. Scotland Yard said none of those arrested today was a policeman.Īt a press conference at Scotland Yard today, Jim Gamble, assistant chief constable of the National Crime Squad, said he was not surprised at the number of police officers among the suspects. Of the 50 policemen identified, eight have been charged to date and the remainder bailed pending further inquiries. Thirty-five men were arrested in London this morning as part of the investigation - codenamed Operation Ore - following raids on 45 addresses across the capital.

Hope for a better life, a better future, for a love.Fifty police officers across the UK have been arrested as part of a crackdown on suspected paedophiles who pay to access child pornography websites, detectives revealed today. She fills your heart, mind, and soul with HOPE. She makes you courageous, bold, and confident to tackle all of life's problems and obstacles it sends your way. Like an angel, she makes you believe again, and believe that you can accomplish and do anything in life. Holding my hand, nudging my arm, putting her head on my shoulder, a hug, all the usual things in a healthy physical relationship, and those things rolled into one, just seem to wipe away all the pains, worries, negativity of life. It's just the embedded physical affectionate intimacy every person human longs for.simply to have "contact". So no matter the age, who couldn't be attracted to someone who exudes this? Now in my case, I can't deny there isn't sexual attraction, but I never ever think about having sex or anything of that sort. Little kids (in this case girls), just seem to exude the aura of everything beautiful and desirable in pure and unadulterated ways. We're refreshed by their innocent minds, warm hearts, honest words, wonder, sweetness of everything good about life and about humanity (when these days we seem to have less faith in humanity). I think the reason is many young girls embody that sort of "state" we wish to be in and have in our lives. In fact, the opposite, we only think about all the ideals and desires of a pure, innocent, loving relationship. It's not a sexual attraction per se, and as you said, we don't even think about sex or porn when we are with them. A lot of men who have expressed an attraction to little girls (including myself) have noted the same experiences.
