‘World’s largest paedo ring’ BOYCHAT & BOYLOVER.NET

COPS were poised to arrest 1,200 British perverts last night – after smashing the world’s biggest online paedophile ring. Sickos nationwide were bracing themselves for a knock on the door after 230 abused children were rescued from the global network’s vile clutches.

Seventy thousand perverts in 30 countries accessed the encrypted secret network – which offered child-rape PACKAGE TOURS – via a depraved website called boylover.net.

BRITISH child abusers went on paedophile package tours arranged by perverts they met through boylover.net. Through a chat room, the sex beasts could book travel, rooms and even their victims.

Expat abusers in Thailand offered to arrange flights for like minded Brits who wanted to molest and rape youngsters. They met "customers" in Pattaya, laid on apartments and provided them with underage youths to abuse

British paedophiles whose ages ranged from 17 to 82 hosted hideously-named "boil of the day" rape sessions in London and Brighton. Sixty of the youngsters were revealed to have been saved in the UK alone.

Swoops also took place in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Italy, Belgium, Greece and Poland. The child rape holidays were organised to Thailand and Brazil. Perverts were picked up at airports and ferried to young victims waiting in filthy dens to be passed around like meat. Paedophiles already nicked thanks to the probe include:

Evil Robert Horsman, 48, from Ipswich – serving 14 years in Thailand for abusing two boys aged 12. Also seized there – and deported – was George Gibbs, 67. Twisted Plymouth scoutmaster John McMurdo, 37 – jailed for three years over a stomach-turning child abuse images stash.

Nicked … Horsman, Gibbs and McMurdo were caught in the operation

Liverpool gardener Stephen Palmer, 55, who sent filth to fellow paedos in the US. He got two years – despite throwing his computer into a pond.

In one chilling case cops saved a boy in the nick of time. A scout leader was arrested just hours after boasting on boylover.net that he was going to abuse a "special young friend" on a camping trip.

What is Boychat ?

BoyChat (or BC) is the longest-running boylove forum on the World Wide Web. Started on 29 December, 1995, at Kasper’s Free Spirits web site, based in Holland, it remains today largely unchanged: a single web board to which anyone can post under a nickname. It is basically where Paedophiles can go and chat in various forums, exchanging ideology, thoughts and indecent images and videos of children !

In the UK, the 240 suspects include police officers, teachers, taxi driver and a karate teacher. One of the suspects in the UK is a woman. The Boylover forum has a estimated 70,000 members worldwide.

Boychat.com is another forum that affiliates to Boylover.net which has been shut down since last year

And amazingly the Boychat forum is still open !

BoyChat grew from under 20 posters in the first two days to around 250 posts each day in 2005. With the appearance of numerous modern BL forums such as the more active Boylover.net, participation has fallen, although the site is still very popular at around 100 posts a day.

Under its slogan "you are not alone", BoyChat aims to provide a climate for personal support to boylovers experiencing difficult times. For many, BoyChat is the first introduction to the online boylove community and a realization that they are, indeed, not alone.

The arrests

International police led by a UK team say they shut down the largest internet paedophile ring yet discovered.

The global forum had 70,000 followers at its height, leading to 4,000 intelligence reports being sent to police across 30 countries.

The operation has so far identified 670 suspects and 230 abused children.

Detectives say 184 people have been arrested – 121 of them were in the UK. Some 60 children have been protected in the UK.

The three-year investigation, Operation Rescue, was led by investigators from the UK’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop).

Speaking at a news conference at The Hague in the Netherlands, investigators said the network hid behind a legal online forum which operated out of the country – but its members came from around the world.

Along with the Netherlands and the UK, suspects have been identified in Australia, Italy, Canada, New Zealand and Thailand.

The members of the network went into a private channel,

However, child abuse investigators, including a team from Ceop, had already infiltrated the network and were posing as paedophiles to gather intelligence.

In the UK, the 240 suspects include police officers, teachers, taxi driver and a karate teacher. One of the suspects in the UK is a woman.

To date, 33 have been convicted, including John McMurdo, a scout leader from Plymouth. Another forum user was Stephen Palmer, 54, of Birkenhead, who shared abuse images with contacts in the US. A third man, 46-year-old Colin Hoey Brown of Bromsgrove, was jailed for making and distributing almost 1,000 images.

‘New ground broken’

Peter Davies, head of Ceop, said: "The scale and success of Operation Rescue has broken new ground.

"Not only is it one of the largest operations of its kind to date – and the biggest operation we have led – it also demonstrates the impact of international law enforcement agencies working together with one single objective, to safeguard children and bring offenders to justice.

"While these offenders felt anonymous in some way because they were using the internet to communicate, the technology was actually being used against them.

"Everything they did online, everyone they talked to or anything they shared could and was tracked by following the digital footprint."

Operation Rescue began when Ceop and colleagues in the Australian Federal Police separately identified the site as a key online meeting place for abusers.

The two forces deployed officers to infiltrate the site and to identify the members who were posing the most risk to children.

One of the early breakthroughs in the investigation was the arrest of four suspects in Thailand in 2008. Two of the men were British.

In March of the same year, Ceop identified the owner of the site and the location of its server in the Netherlands. The owner of the server is now co-operating with Dutch police.

Rob Wainwright of Europol said the man running the server had used "advanced security techniques" which took months to break down.

"If you think you can use the internet to abuse children you are wrong," he said.

"We will not allow these offenders to carry on committing these awful crimes against young children. We will not rest until we have identified every offender that has been active in this network and others that might be operating on the internet."
