50 police officers arrested as part of inquiry into internet paedophiles
They were among 7,000 British suspects identified by a US inquiry into users of child pornography sites.
Assistant Chief Constable Jim Gamble of the National Crime Squad said the officers were targeted as part of a group of suspects whose jobs gave them special privileges or access to children. Yesterday, more than 250 police working on the UK investigation called Operation Ore executed 45 search warrants and arrested 34 men in the London area.
