Paedophile web 'librarian' jailed indefinitely

A 27 year-old British man has been jailed indefinitely for acting as an online librarian for a child pornography ring.
Philip Thompson, an unemployed man who lived with his mother in Stockton-on-Tees, was arrested as part of a police investigation into possibly the largest internet paedophile ring yet uncovered.
Police found over 250,000 images of child abuse stored on Thompson's computer.
"There is a simple message to those individuals, like Thompson, who think they can go to this website - or any space on the internet - and discuss their sexual interest in children and share images," said Jim Gamble, chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
"You leave a digital footprint, and we will track you down and hold you to account."

Personally I think individuals such as this should be hung, drawn and quarted. Being a father myself I feel nothing but outrage with these evil people!
