Jail for running paedophile ring

THREE men have been jailed after they admitted running an international paedophile ring that distributed millions of indecent images and films of children to over 40 countries around the world.

In the first case of its kind in England and Wales, Ian Frost, 35, and his partner Paul Rowland, 34 and Frost’s brother Paul, 37, pleaded guilty to various charges of making, distributing and possessing indecent images of children.

Lincolnshire Police said smashing the ring had resulted in 132 children in Britain being protected and safeguarded, and a number of paedophiles being taken out of positions of trust, including teachers, doctors, youth workers and police officers.
