British electronic prosecution service: 7 paedophiles arrested
Specifically, a gang of 7 pedophiles who raped and abused infants, babies and children either in groups or individually and then uploaded videos of their lewd acts on the internet were sentenced to many years in prison.
The sick group consists of seven men aged between 30 and 51. They are David Hursley, 51, John Dinham, 49, Christopher Knight, 35, Matthew Stansfield, 34, Adam Tonis, 33, Matthew Leask, 32, and Robin Hollisson, 30.

The paedophiles were so organized that they targeted expecting families and groomed couples in order to gain access to the newborn. In one case, they bribed a pregnant woman to rape her child after it was born. The gang members traveled great distances to reach their victims and satisfy their sick appetites.
They usually carried out the attacks together, but when only one of them had access to the victim, the other pedophiles watched the heinous act via Skype.
The British electronic prosecution service revealed that the perpetrators, who lived scattered across British territory, gave each other advice on how to drug their victims to make it easier to rape them.
Police officials, in statements to the British media, appear certain that in addition to the cases that have been revealed to date, the seven paedophiles have raped or attempted to rape many more victims than have been revealed. Specifically, they all face 30 charges, including child rape, conspiracy to rape a child, child sexual abuse and many others.
It is noteworthy that all seven pedophile abusers had the profile of a decent family man who lived a respectable life. This fact alone helped them, on the one hand, to more easily approach their victims, mainly under the age of 5, and on the other hand, not to arouse suspicion.
Police described them at a press conference as “monsters in disguise” who worked together to commit some of the most “vulgar and despicable” child sex crimes that the authorities have ever seen. “They didn’t act like monsters on the outside, they were monsters in disguise. It’s very rare that we see this kind of criminal behavior, including child sexual abuse on such a scale. This is one of the worst and most serious organized crimes,” said lead investigator Graham Gardner.
Authorities described the gang as "highly skilled" at reaching out to victims' families, even targeting pregnant women and paedophiles who abused their trust to abuse their children. Graham Gardner said the gang "had tentacles that went around the world.".
