Online Child Protection Britain

London – More than 700 suspected child sex offenders have been arrested over the past three years after investigations by Britain’s online child protection force.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) said its action had safeguarded 345 children from sexual abuse since its launch as a police agency reporting to the Home Office in April 2006.

Offenders are increasingly using peer-to-peer networks and newsgroups to share images of sexual abuse, CEOP said, rather than commercial pay-per-view sites.

This is not about technology — this is about people. There is no distinction between the online and offline worlds.
