Paedophile ring exposed in Ireland

AN investigation by Prime Time journalists has uncovered evidence to suggest that an Irish paedophile ring is supplying horrific images of child rape and torture to the internet.

One journalist who worked on Crimes Against Children, an in-depth examination of the nightmare world of internet child pornography, said Irish children may have been subject to appalling abuse which had been photographed for distribution on the internet.

In a three-month period closely monitoring just five chat room sites, as many as 105 Irish paedophiles were identified more than were uncovered by Operation Amethyst.
