Child porn web swoop in Britain

More than 7000 British suspected paedophiles have been snared in a swoop on computer users accessing pay-per-view child sex websites based in the United States.

British detectives were given the names and addresses of 7272 people who used their credit cards to access pictures of under-age children, some as young as a few months old, engaged in sex acts with adults, the Sunday Telegraph said.

The two internet sites were seized last year by FBI agents. British police planned raids on the suspects.
