Emerging abuse stories

have they learnt the lessons from the last big round up from credit card details supposedly used on child porn sites, but where it turned out that details from legit porn sites were kept in the same list, so lots of innocents were caught up among the arrestees?

(IIRC)

Can we do guessing? If so, my guess would be that they have learned their lesson and changed tactics to be more proactive, eg they've seeded honey trap films onto a peer to peer child porn network, then targeted those who downloaded and reseeded it, and included some back door access into their computers within the download to enable them to gain evidence to confirm they have been uploading films themselves. Or maybe from tracking the key uploaders to known child porn sites / peer to peer exchanges. Something clever along those lines anyway. Either way, its going to have to be a GCHQ operation, nobody else has that level of resources / skills.

600 arrests in one go isn't coming from standard methods of tracking down networks, that would take years of slow steady winding up of the network.

I'd suspect that the timing isn't coincidental, but wasn't this also the last day before some court ruling took affect that would have made a lot of evidence gathered via such means inadmissible, and potentially resulted in them not being able to act on the evidence? Which was why the new law was being rushed through.
 
No, it's the media as a whole.

I can honestly say that I never met anyone who liked Freddie Starr. So wtf was he doing on the telly?


Freddie Starr was innocent though. And left a broken man. And my ex-landlady liked him. Althought to call her my landlady would be stretching it a bit, she just put me up in her flat, and gave me the run of the house. And seemed properly upset when, after saying "you don't have to stay in your room, you can watch telly with us lot" (her and her kids), I wasn't into Freddy Starr, like I was turning my nose up at her hospitality. I felt a right twat TBH & just on the strength of that I was glad Starr wasn't one of them.
 
I am finding the timing of this all too convenient.

Yep. I imagine there's some flexability in when to perform the actual arrests after a 6 month operation, assuming the suspects haven't gotten wind of it.

With the emergency data laws, building allegations and suspicion about a cover up this week. It's blatent news management.
 
I'm not sure if this has been posted on an other thread, but some interesting stuff in this interview with David Tombs the ex-head of social services for Hereford and Worcester and Dr Liz Davies who was involved in Islington SS and believes she has information about child murders. She claims to have given the police "volumes of information in the 90's ,much of which they failed to act on".

 
Assumed the Mirror had dug up the old Pitcairn story - but no, it's a new one to me :(

A pattern here? British islands, or islands in general?

The Falkland Islands have a remarkable number of prosecutions and reports of this kind of stuff. Would be interesting to do some FOI's on the government over there.

Sexual offences and domestic violence are an ongoing issues that require long extended investigations and fundamental cultural change - this is not at all different to HBV or FGM in immigrant communities in the UK; and not at all different to many other small isolated and island communities.

Man and former wife abused their children, court hears

A separated couple have been convicted of sexually and physically abusing their children.

The man and his former wife were convicted of sexual and physical assaults on children in the Merthyr Tydfil and Caerphilly areas but cleared of rape. A second man was acquitted.

The abuse, which "truly shocked" investigators, began in the 1990s and lasted until the man's arrest in 2013.

(...)

One victim, now an adult, has carried out serious sexual abuse of children and is serving a lengthy prison sentence.

When he confessed, he told police about the actions of his father and his former wife, prompting the launch of Operation Swan by Gwent Police which investigated the historical allegations.

In the late 1990s, there was a police investigation into allegations made by the boy, but no charges were brought.
 
"But according to an investigation by the children's charity the Lucy Faithful Foundation, there is "abusive and exploitative" sexual activity taking place on both islands with underage girls."

Donald Findlater, Sexual Abuse Spokesperson for Lucy Faithfull Foundation was on Newsnight last night saying some odd (to say the least,I thought) things for the position he holds.

The item he is on starts at around 11 and a half minutes into the programme.

The death of Mike Smith saw me poking around youtube for old footage from that era of telly, since I was still a child then, and the output of the bbc at prime times back then seemed somehow unavoidable.

I can't say I was too surprised that within minutes of an advert for a child watch program that sounds like it was launching the new child-line service, bbc viewers one evening in 1986 were treated to Noel Edmonds making several Bill Wyman jokes. For all manner of reasons I would not advise anyone to try and watch this entire hour+ long video that I am about to post, But those interested in the mass media output of the time, and how child-line advertised itself, may want to check out the first 5-10 minutes.
