Timothy David Martin Cox

Excellent, a foul thug behind bars.

Timothy Cox, 28, ran a chatroom called "Kids the
Light of Our Lives" with more than 700 members worldwide, 200 of whom
were based in Britain.

Police disclosed yesterday that more than
30 children, at least 20 of them British, had been rescued from the
clutches of the vast paedophile network as a result of a 10-month
operation in 35 countries to smash the ring. Some of the victims had
been abused in films swapped and traded between gang members. Others
were in danger because suspects had direct access to them.

Cox
led a double life, working in the family brewery by day and – unbeknown
to his parents, sister and 26-year-old girlfriend, with whom he lived
near Stowmarket in Suffolk – obsessively "hosting" the site during his
time off.

He was given an indeterminate prison
sentence yesterday after being convicted of possessing more than 75,000
images of abuse, some involving knives. Cox will stay in prison until
psychiatric experts decide it is safe to release him.

Now, if we could just have a look at the other side of the scales of justice for a moment? Those convicted with the very dodgy evidence indeed from Operation Ore? You know, those people whose credit card details were stolen, used on child porn websites and are now convicted sex offenders?

Justice does require, as is all too often forgotten, that the innocent go free as well as the guilty get banged up.

    How were these children rescued? Were they locked up in rooms and being beaten and abused or did they happen to be, say, a couple of children living next door to a potential paedophile who had been saved because the person with dodgy pictures on their computer had been put away? There is no accountability here. The press release from CEOPs has been printed almost verbatim across the media. No one challenges their figures or assumptions as no journalist wishes to be seen – however tacitly – of condoning these activities. incidentally, no one ever really says what these pictures are like and none of us can check them out as we would be breaking the law in doing so. This smells like a witch-hunt to me. An agency like CEOP gobbles up huge sums of money without much transparency. As far as I can see, most of CEOP’s work is simply recycling the same old press releases and praising NCH Action For Children’s resident paedo guru and web safety “expert” John Carr, who just happens to be Mr Baroness Thornton. This site seems to have the measure of him http://ore-exposed.obu-investigators.com/John_Carr.html

    “The press release from CEOPs has been printed almost verbatim across the media.”
    That seems to hapen a lot lately, and not just with CEOPs either…
