Current Paedo Groups. (in progress)

Based on evidence collated within the Networks database, here is a comprehensive view of the currently active paedophile networks and their supporters.

Australia

A.M.b.L.A
Australian Man boy Love Association

Austria

Belgium

Charleroi
The high level of activity in this area during, and after, the Dutroux Investigation indicates it to be a hotspot of abuse. The names indicated within the Dutroux files are of influential people, some of whom are still in power today.

Fach- und Selbsthilfegruppe Paedophilie

This support group is still active. In autumn 1994 they had invited Professor Rudiger Lautmann (author of the new book, Die Lust am Kind) to come to Zuerich to have a public speech there.

Canada

Boychat
Closely linked to Tom O'Carroll, Free Spirits and LifeLine, this is where they meet to discuss boys. Other similar sites exist for girls and other sickening aspects of their depraved existence.

Coalition Pédophile Québécois
Coalition of Quebec Pedophiles

Free Spirits
Jimf3 was the webmaster of BoyChat in 1997 when its hosting ISP gave notice to terminate its service. Jim organized a group of activists, including Alexis, Adam The Baroque Keyboardist, and others, and launched the Internet’s first paedophile-oriented fundraising campaing in order to buy expensive hosting services from vendors that could take the political heat to keep the accounts open. This was the beginning of the Free Spirits organization. A couple of years later, with its hosting vendors facing increasing political pressure, Free Spirits raised enough money and gathered enough volunteers to buy its own server and set up its own ISP.

Another "contribution" that Free Spirits has made to the pedophile community is that, with the help of Kalos, they developed the "boy love" symbol, which is a blue triangle, nested inside another, which they call the "BLogo." This has become a symbol that pedophiles use to identify their desires to have sex with children, on Websites, tee-shirts, jewelry, et cetera.

Lifeline
The LifeLine forum contains a small message board and a real-time support chatroom for people who are attracted to children. The site is closely associated with BoyChat and falls under the Free Spirits Coalition umbrella.

Czech

It would appear a number of trafficking groups are active in this region, both of women and children. Many children are sold by their families into slavery with the traffickers, who then sell them on for huge profits. Most end up on the borders of Germany and Austria as child prostitutes.
A report into trafficking in Czech Republic noted

Mainly in the Czech-German or Czech-Austrian border regions, thousands of prostitutes work on the streets or in brothel-like establishments to satisfy the demands of foreign clients – a lot of them are child prostitutes "starting from the very little dwarfs to those who are 18 years old – most of them over 12 years old"

Denmark

Pedophile Group

The Pedophile Group or Pedophile Group association is a Danish organisation which was disbanded on March 21, 2004. A website is still running, operated by a group of active members of the former association. It was originally founded in 1985. On July 23, 1996 the group had eighty registered members and participated in an International Congress in Denmark. It was also a member of the IPCE (formerly the International Pedophile and Child Emancipation). A 2004 newspaper article identified Dan Markussen as the organization's spokesman.

In 2000, a Danish TV documentary team went undercover to investigate the group. Members were shown exchanging child porn and giving advice on how to contact children in internet chatrooms. A man was arrested by police in connection with the investigation.

In 2000, the group asked its members to provide misleading information to authorities to help Eric Franklin Rosser, an ex-member of John Mellencamp's band and a man charged with producing and distributing child pornography, evade prosecution. He was convicted in 2001 however, and was subsequently added to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's most wanted list

France

Germany

Italy

Gruppo P
This is Francesco Vallini's group. Despite its legitmate status, Vallini spent three years in prison for running a criminal association. Despite this, the well-established gay magazine Babilonia continues to employ Vallini, and to support his ideas, although Gruppo P as such may be no more.

Netherlands

Dutch Society for Sexual Reform
The Dutch Society for Sexual Reform , also known by the acronym NVSH (in Dutch : Nederlandse Vereniging voor Seksuele Hervorming), is an organization Netherlands , founded in 1946, which advocates a change in the perception of sexuality in society. Among its prominent members was personalities with psychologist Frits Bernard , Senator and lawyer Edward Brongersma and sociologist Paul Schnabel.
The NVSH advocates the acceptance of human sexuality in all its forms, such as pre-marital relations, adultery , homosexuality , masturbation , exhibitionism , oral sex , anal sex ,bestiality or pedophilia.

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociedade_Neerlandesa_pela_Reforma_Sexual

IPCE
According to research, Tom O'Carroll went on to help establish this group after p.i.e was disbanded and remained a prominent member.

Martijn
Founded in 1982. The most important pedophile association in Europe. On 27 June 2012 a Dutch court ruled that the group was illegal and ordered it to disband immediately. However this decision was overturned by a higher court in April 2013. The judge motivated his or her decision by stating that Martijn club did not commit crimes and the right of freedom of association.The group published the bulletin OK Magazine

Nigeria

Nigerian Senate
The Senate, in its infinate wisdom, has now bought into and openly endorsed the “Paedophile Charter” which essentially makes it lawful and constitutional for very young girls to get married and to have sex at a very young age it is my firm view that we have now become a nation of perverts and paedophiles. The Senate had a chance to clear the air and amend the law but, out of nothing but sentiment and an inexplicable eagerness to compromise with that which is clearly evil, they threw that chance away and sacrificed our most sacred values to Yerima and his gang. Worst still they did it with a smile on their faces. Every Nigerian should bow his or her head in shame because instead of crushing the head of the lustful beast that seeks to fornicate with our children, to steal their virtues and to destroy their future what the Senate did the other day was to compromise with and cater for the filthy appetites and godless fantasies of a bunch of child molestors and sexual predators.

North Wales Residential Childcare Investigations - A Chronological View

Investigations 1974 to 1980

five relevant convictions that occurred during this period, namely, those of Anthony David Taylor (Bryn Alyn, 1976), Leslie Wilson (Little Acton, 1977), Bryan Davies (Ystrad Hall, 1978), Gary Cooke and (Arthur) Graham Stevens (1980).
There was also one other person, Albert Frederick Tom Dyson, then aged 40 years, who was convicted in 1980 of three offences of indecency against the boy identified as D in paragraphs 10.15 to 10.19 of this report, for which he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. Dyson, who had befriended D's family, admitted to the Tribunal that he committed the offences at a time when D was in care and placed at Bryn Estyn, but he was not employed by Social Services at any time: he was then the owner of the 15/20 Club in Rhyl, which he disposed of in 1980, after owning it for 20 years.
In addition, the North Wales Police investigated allegations against a gardener/driver (Upper Downing, 1976), Carl Evans (Little Acton, 1977) and Paul Bicker Wilson (Bryn Estyn, 1977), but no prosecution ensued at that time against any of these three men. According to the police evidence before us, there was also an investigation in 1980 of allegations against Huw Meurig Jones but neither of the complainants in relation to that investigation (one is dead) gave evidence to the Tribunal and there was no prosecution.

Investigations 1981 to 1989
During this period there were five further relevant convictions for sexual offences against children in care in Clwyd, as we have listed in paragraph 2.07(5) to (7) of this report. The five persons convicted were Iain Muir (Bryn Alyn, 1986), Jacqueline Elizabeth Thomas (Chevet Hey, 1986), David John Gillison (1987, a social worker who was not then employed in residential care), William Gerry (1987, a former resident of Bryn Estyn) and Gary Cooke (1987, for further offences). It will be seen that only the first two of these were employed in children's residential establishments at the time when their offences were committed; and Thomas' conviction was for an offence against a 15 years old boy who was not in care at the time.

One other relevant person, namely, Huw Meurig Jones, was charged in 1981 with alleged sexual offences against a boy in care in Clwyd. Meurig Jones was then an unqualified social worker for Clwyd County Council but had not been employed in residential care in Clwyd, as far as we are aware, after March 1976. He resigned on 28 July 1981 but it appears that the charges against him were not proceeded with.

During this same period between 1981 and 1989 allegations against five other residential child care workers in Clwyd were investigated by the police but only one of the five was alleged to have committed sexual offences. The other four were Frederick Rutter (Bryn Estyn, 1983), Paul Wilson (Chevet Hey, 1985), Kenneth White junior (Bryn Alyn, 1988) and Y (Ysgol Talfryn, 1989): each was alleged to have committed a physical assault or assaults on a boy in care but none of the four was prosecuted for reasons that have been stated in the cited passages of our report, where known to us.
The fifth person in Clwyd investigated by the police in this period but not prosecuted was David Evans, who was alleged to have indecently touched two girl residents at Park House in 1989. In that case the Crown Prosecution Service advised that there was insufficient evidence to support a charge of indecent assault in respect of either girl.
Thus, 11 persons were investigated for alleged sexual or physical abuse in this period, of whom five were convicted. Of those investigated six were employed as residential care staff at the time of the alleged offences and one (Y) was employed as a teacher at a residential school.

Investigations from 1990 to 1996
The first investigation in this period into sexual abuse in a children's home was into offences committed by Stephen Norris whilst Officer-in-Charge of Cartrefle. The police were informed promptly on 17 June 1990 of the allegations that had been made by a boy to Henry Morton Stanley; and, in the course of the subsequent investigation led by Detective Inspector Donald Cronin, all ten current residents of Cartrefle, nine previous residents and 13 past and present members of the staff were interviewed.
It revealed that six complainants alleged serious sexual abuse by Norris and on 5 October 1990, in the Crown Court at Chester, he pleaded guilty to five offences of indecent assault, involving three boy residents at Cartrefle.
There were three other counts in the indictment against Norris involving the three other boys and an additional count alleging buggery with one of the first three boys but these were not proceeded with by the prosecution and not guilty verdicts were recorded by the Court in respect of three of them.
As appears from what we have said, the investigation of these offences was expeditious and the proceedings were completed in less than four months. The only criticism of the investigation of which we are aware is that it has been said that it should have been broadened to include Norris' previous activities at Bryn Estyn before his transfer to Cartrefle, having regard (amongst other things) to the repetitious nature of his sexual misconduct at Cartrefle.

The other important police investigation before the county-wide investigation began was into the activities of Frederick Rutter as a foster parent and as Warden of a hostel at Connah's Quay. This began on 3 April 1990 when a woman resident at the hostel complained to the police that Rutter had behaved improperly towards her and it culminated in his conviction on 30 July 1991, in the Crown Court at Chester, of four offences of rape and two offences of indecent assault involving three hostel residents and two girls who had lived in his household. We have not received any criticism of this investigation by the police.

Investigations from 1997 to 2000
Since the hearings by the Tribunal began in Janaury 1997 investigations by the police have continued and some of them have arisen from statements made to the Tribunal in connection with our inquiry. We have been kept informed by the North Wales Police in general terms of the progress of these inquiries. In order to avoid prejudicing the investigations we adopted the general policy that we would not hear evidence in support of complaints that were still under investigation by the police at the time when the evidence would otherwise have been heard by us.
We regret that, to that extent, our investigation has been necessarily incomplete. We are satisfied, however, that the general accuracy of the history that we have given and our conclusions from it have not been significantly affected by these gaps in the evidence.
The best information that we have to date is that allegations by nine complainants in statements to the Tribunal have been under investigation by the police and complaints by some others not contained in Tribunal statements have also been investigated. The allegations have involved over a dozen members of staff at various homes, one of whom died in the course of the investigations and after our hearings had ended.

The following convictions and prosecutions since 1997 are relevant to our investigation:
7 March 1997, in the Crown Court at Mold, Roger Platres Saint pleaded guilty to nine counts alleging indecent assaults upon a step-son, two pupils, a foster child and five adopted children; and he was sentenced on 23 May 1997 to six and a half years' imprisonment.

On 14 March 1997, in the Crown Court at Mold, Robert Martin Williams, a former nursing auxilliary at Gwynfa Residential Unit, was convicted of two offences of rape of a girl patient, who was aged 16 years at the time of the offences and who is identified as P in the report. Concurrent sentences of six years' imprisonment were imposed on him.

4 July 1997, in the Crown Court at Chester, Noel Ryan pleaded guilty to 14 sexual offences (three of buggery, one attempted buggery and ten indecent assaults) against ten male residents under the age of 16 years at Clwyd Hall; and he asked for seven other offences of indecent assaults involving seven other boys to be taken into consideration. He was sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment.

On 9 September 1998, in the Crown Court at Chester, Mr B pleaded guilty to three offences of rape and six indecent assaults upon B2 and four indecent assaults upon B1. He was sentenced to a total of three years' imprisonment.

Richard Dafydd Vevar, formerly a care worker employed by the Bryn Alyn Community, was charged in July 1998 with offences of buggery and indecent assault against the girl referred to in paragraph 21.55 of this report. On 23 June 1999 he was acquitted by a jury of the allegations of buggery but they were unable to reach verdicts on the other counts. At a later hearing the Judge entered verdicts of not guilty in respect of these other counts.

Richard Ernest Leake, formerly Principal of Ystrad Hall School at Llangollen, has been charged with offences of indecent assaults on boys alleged to have been committed between 1972 and 1978. He denies all the charges and his trial has now been fixed for 8 November 1999.
Richard Francis Groome, formerly Warden of Tanllwyfan and then successively Head of Care and Principal at Clwyd Hall School, has been committed for trial on charges alleging sexual offences involving former boy residents at the latter school and at both these establishments and at others in Shropshire between 1981 and 1989. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and his trial is likely to take place early in 2000 at Mold.

Roger Owen Griffiths and his former wife, Anthea Beatrice Roberts, the proprietors of Gatewen Hall795 residential school from 1977 to 1982, when the premises were sold to the Bryn Alyn Community, were convicted in the Crown Court at Chester on 3 and 4 August 1999. Griffiths was sentenced to a total of eight years' imprisonment for offences of buggery (one), attempted buggery (one), indecent assault (one) and cruelty (four) involving four boy residents at the school. Roberts was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for two offences of indecent assault on two other boy residents aged under 16 years.

Derek Brushett, an SSIW employed by the Welsh Office, is currently (2000) suspended from duty whilst he awaits trial on numerous charges of sexual and other offences against boys alleged to have been committed in or about the 1970s, when Brushett was headmaster of Bryn-y-Don School (initially an approved school) in Dinas Powys. During his employment thereafter by the Welsh Office, Brushett took part in a few inspections in North Wales but there is no allegation of misconduct by him in that capacity, as far as we are aware.

See North Wales Abuse Uncovered for the Waterhouse Inquiry

I went back to Bryn Alyn Hall on Saturday 20th April and saw a single storey building in the process of being renovated.

©Jo

My recollection of this building is that it contained the woodwork room and another couple of classrooms.
As we walked around the outside of the building, I could see paperwork in the windows, both loose sheets and files/folders.

©Jo

The building looked as though it had been out of use since Bryn Alyn shut in 1997.
As we walked further across the driveway and round towards what is signposted as "Alyn Lodge" I noticed a distinct lack of horse.
What had been 10-15 horses in November was down to a meager 2, despite the warm weather.
Further round towards the footpath down to Wilderness, I noticed a lot of fencing was being replaced and a huge bonfire had been built, burned and was again in construction, as wheelbarrows of rubble and paperwork from the building were being dragged across the drainage ditches.

Update 16th November 2013:
Following a visit to Bryn Alyn by another victim, there are no longer any horses on the property.
Kenneth J White has altered his residential address and is no longer registered as living in Bryn Alyn Hall. Instead he is registered at:

Paedo Networks Update

Have started to update the Paedo Networks section.
I will be focusing primarily on people in a position of power or easy access to children for the main database, whilst building a more complete list of connected offenders within each network.
I do this in an effort to save more childhoods, lives.... being destroyed.

CPS Drop Charges Against Paedo Cop

Matthew Rees remains suspended from duty as a constable with the City of London police. Photograph: Martin Rose/Eastnews Press Agency/Peter Lawson/Eastnews Press Agency

A police force is considering disciplinary action against an officer accused of "grooming" a teenage girl following an investigation by social services.

Matthew Rees, 32, remains suspended from duty as a constable with the City of London Police while senior officers consider misconduct charges against him.

The officer, who has denied any wrongdoing, was arrested in December last year and charged with possessing indecent images of a child after explicit pictures of the girl were found on his phone.

A social services report, seen by the Guardian, concluded that Rees had subjected the girl – whom he met when she was 15 at their local swimming club – to a "powerful process" of grooming.

But the Crown Prosecution Service abandoned the case this week after a judge at Chelmsford crown court asked them to review it.

The decision comes less than a year after Keir Starmer QC, the DPP, claimed a watershed moment had been reached in the prosecution of sexual offences against children and young people in the wake of the Jimmy Savile affair, saying vulnerable victims had been treated in the past with a "degree of caution which is not generally justified".

The Rees case also comes against the backdrop of concern among senior police officers and the police complaints watchdog about sexual misconduct by officers.

The Guardian revealed in August that 169 officers and staff are under investigation for inappropriate relationships and sexual misconduct offences.

The girl's father said: "This man had 24 images on his phone of my daughter which were deemed to be indecent by lawyers when they viewed them in December. Now suddenly after the judge raises questions they are not proceeding against him. It seems that while under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 you are considered a child until you are 18 the agencies employed to enforce the law don't uphold that.

"If you are a girl aged between 16 and 18 you seem to fall into some legal black hole."

The parents are also unclear why charges relating to alleged grooming were not pursued against Rees.

"We are extremely disappointed and we don't understand why he was not charged with a grooming offence," said the girl's mother. "He met her when she was 15. He is a 32-year-old man who as a police officer is in a position of trust and authority. When my daughter asked if what they were doing was wrong, he told her it was not wrong. When it all came out and I talked to her about it, she said: 'Mum he is a police officer, I trusted him'.

"The judge has opened it up for men to think it is OK to target girls when they are 14 or 15 and then wait until they turn 16 and have sex with them."

Derek Slade, St Georges School, Suffolk

Senior Labour politician helped paedophile headmaster establish false identity

A paedophile who was sentenced to 21 years in prison has links with a Labour politician who is a senior figure in the judicial system
Derek Slade, (pictured below whilst as teacher and now) who abused boys at the boarding school where he was headmaster in the Eighties, was given help in establishing a false identity by Derek Sawyer, former leader of Islington Council and now chair of the London Region Courts Board.

Mr Sawyer (pictured below) facilitated Slade’s escape from his past by setting up educational companies in which the disgraced teacher used a fake name and CV.

Oxford-educated Slade, 61, was jailed last Monday after being found guilty at Ipswich Crown Court of abuse against 12 boys aged eight to 13 between 1978 and 1983.
They were pupils at St George’s School, at Great Finborough, Suffolk. But he escaped justice for years using an alias with Mr Sawyer’s knowledge. The politician has been chairman of numerous bodies involved in London’s probation service and justice system.
Mr Sawyer, who denies any wrongdoing, helped Slade after the paedophile was first convicted of child abuse in the Eighties. Slade was found to have savagely beaten boys at Dalesdown School, in Sussex, and was jailed for three months, though the sentence was reduced on appeal to a conditional discharge.

'Cover-up' Over VIPs Who Abuse Children In Care

Are our police turning a blind eye to the abuse of innocent children? [GETTY - POSED]

The whistleblower said he was warned by his superiors not to investigate suspected paedophiles, including a senior politician and a judge.

He said the justice system was “corrupt” and “rotten to the core” and told how vulnerable boys and girls as young as nine were plied with heroin and raped by rich and powerful men.

Agreeing to speak anonymously, the police insider warned: “There is a massive cover-up going on and those who are abusing children are being protected by the powers that be.

“When I was investigating abuse at low levels, street prostitution, everything was fine but as soon as the evidence started taking me to a higher level, I was told to wind my neck in and not go any further.

an ‘In My View’ Special Report by NIGEL WARD, examining the impact of Police & Crime Commissioners as they approach the first anniversary of their respective elections.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

Before reporting on my brief (but illuminating) encounter with North Yorkshire Police & Crime Commissioner Julia MULLIGAN [Con] at her ‘Time to Talk’ public relations exercise, held at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) on Wednesday 23rd October 2013, 6:00pm to 8:00pm, let me take a moment to stake out a context in which our dialogue can best be clearly appreciated.

Police & Crime Commissioners have not met with universal approval since their respective elections on 15th November 2012. Not that the passing of their fore-runners, the regional Police Authorities, has been lamented – especially here in North Yorkshire, where financial profligacy and incompetent resource management became the hallmarks of the North Yorkshire Police Authority throughout the last ten years of its existence, under the highly dubious Chairship of Jane KENYON [Con], aided and abetted by Vice-Chair County Councillor Carl LES [Con].

Kent County Council Let Pervert Foster Child

KCC let pervert foster child. 05/05/11

David Matthews who has no National Insurance number

by Paul Francis

A convicted paedophile managed to foster a child - despite having a vile history of sexual abuse, it has emerged.
David Mason, aged in his 50s, didn't have his identity checked and Kent County Council only made a quick check on his home.

The authority which permitted the placement has now been heavily criticised by a High Court judge.
Formal checks on Mason's application may have exposed his true identity - and a history of sexual abuse, said Mr Justice Baker.
He urged the authority to "urgently review its practice" saying he hoped those responsible "learn the lessons".
KCC has publicly apologised, admitting the care and attention "was not good enough".

The case is the latest in a series of embarrassing episodes for Kent social services, which was ordered by Ofsted to improve child protection services after an inspection last year found them to be inadequate.
