Arrests and convictions for <strong>in</strong>ternet child porn offences have more than quadrupled <strong>in</strong> just two years.Figures<br />
published last month showed 2,234 were cautioned or charged with crimes <strong>in</strong> England and Wales <strong>in</strong> 2003, compared<br />
with 549 <strong>in</strong> 2001 - a rise of 307%.<strong>Child</strong>ren's charity NCH po<strong>in</strong>ted out 2003's figure was 64 times <strong>the</strong> 35 offences<br />
recorded <strong>in</strong> 1998, <strong>the</strong> year when <strong>the</strong> legal framework for child pornography was established.NCH <strong>in</strong>ternet safety<br />
adviser John Carr said: "The worry is that <strong>the</strong>y represent not a blip, but a new normality."Many police admit <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are still only touch<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> tip of a very ugly iceberg."Between 2002 and 2003, <strong>the</strong> figure - compiled by <strong>the</strong> Home<br />
Office - rose from 870, a year-on-year rise of 157%.The rise is ma<strong>in</strong>ly down to <strong>the</strong> police's Operation Ore, which<br />
was launched <strong>in</strong> April 2002 when <strong>the</strong> US Postal Inspection Service handed over credit card details of 6,500<br />
Britons.Those on <strong>the</strong> list had entered a US pay-per-view web "portal", called Landslide, to ga<strong>in</strong> access to about 300<br />
web sites carry<strong>in</strong>g child abuse images.The orig<strong>in</strong>al list was whittled down to about 6,000, because of a number who<br />
had ei<strong>the</strong>r died or left <strong>the</strong> UK.So far 3,800 have been arrested and nearly 1,500 convicted, with more still go<strong>in</strong>g<br />
through <strong>the</strong> courts.RelativesLast April, <strong>the</strong> National Crime Squad said British police forces had rescued 102<br />
children - some as young as two - from paedophiles because of Operation Ore.Many had been repeatedly raped by<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own fa<strong>the</strong>rs or o<strong>the</strong>r relatives so that sick pictures could be put on <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternet.Police have removed children<br />
from families <strong>in</strong> London, Birm<strong>in</strong>gham, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, Belfast, Wales, Essex, Kent, Norfolk,<br />
L<strong>in</strong>colnshire, Lancashire, Devon and Cornwall.Rock legend Pete Townshend is <strong>the</strong> most high-profile name to<br />
emerge so far from <strong>the</strong> Operation Ore list.The Who guitarist was not charged because he had not downloaded any<br />
pictures, and said he had been research<strong>in</strong>g for a book about child abuse.<br />
