Over the last year, police working through the Child Exploitation and Online
Protection (CEOP) Centre arrested 334 suspected child sex offenders and
dismantled or disrupted 82 paedophile rings.The national centre set up in 2006 to tackle the sexual abuse of children
also reported that grooming remains the most reported offence.In its annual review for 2008/09 it said although the organisation had
managed to safeguard 139 children in the last 12 months, Ceop teams were seeing
different technologies and applications being used by paedophiles to contact
children and mask their behaviour.
