NEWS Thousands of paedophiles in the UK are under the National Criminal Intelligence Service's microscope after an FBI operation exposed global child porn rings. The FBI seized two US-based websites which dealt in pay-per-view child pornography and traced the credit card details of each user. Authorities in the UK have received 7,272 names and addresses of British paedophiles and the police are beginning the task of raiding every address on the list. Already 36 arrests have been made. Anybody prosecuted for their involvement in the sites can expect up to five years in prison.
