A MUSIC teacher who led a double life as an Internet predator has been given a life sentence.
Andrew Kingsley, known as Olly, pestered youngsters in their early teens for sex and confessed to a fetish for bondage, saying he had handcuffs, rope and a blindfold.

As well as grooming boys he targeted over the internet, Kingsley, 23, even propositioned pupils at the school in Fife where he worked.

After he was led to the cells at the High Court in Edinburgh, a 58-year-old father who exposed Kingsley’s activities after finding messages on his 12-year-old son’s mobile phone said he was “delighted” with the result. (more…)

MacRae was traced after an FBI investigation

BBC News. A British man who used an internet chatroom to incite a paedophile to sexually abuse an eight-year-old girl in the United States has been jailed.

Ronald MacRae, 51, of Duncan Street, Pallion, Sunderland, sent messages to the offender on his home computer and watched the abuse filmed on a webcam.

He was traced after the FBI tipped off UK police, a court heard.MacRae, who pleaded guilty to eight charges relating to the 2004 abuse, was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Det Sgt Eric Myers, of Northumbria Police, speaking after the hearing at Newcastle Crown Court, said: “The sentence reflects the horrific nature of the crimes he was involved in.

“MacRae instigated these offences against an innocent girl for his own twisted gratification. ” The court heard that MacRae was tracked down after a two-year investigation involving the FBI and the UK based Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP). Ruth Allen, head of intelligence at CEOP, said: “MacRae believed that because he was thousands of miles away from his victim law enforcement would be unable to connect him with these horrific offences. He was wrong.”

MacRae was put on to the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.

This is the full email sent by an intelligence officer on the Met’s vice squad on March 4 this year to counterparts in the Portuguese and Leicestershire police

According to an email sent by the Metropolitan Police a child abduction ring based in Belgium placed an order for a “young girl”.

Three-year-old Madeleine was spotted while on holiday in Portugal by someone connected to the gang who took a picture of her.

The photograph was sent back to Belgium where the paedophile ring agreed that she should be abducted, the email states.

Three days later on May 3rd last year Madeleine was taken from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve while her parents ate at a nearby restaurant.

The astonishing revelation supports Kate and Gerry McCann’s long-held theory that their eldest child may have been taken by a child smuggling ring.

The email, sent by an intelligence officer on the Met’s vice squad on March 4 this year to counterparts in the Portuguese and Leicestershire police, marks a significant development in the case of the missing girl.

Just last month Portuguese police closed their investigation and cleared the McCanns of any involvement in their daughter’s disappearance.

The email was revealed for the first time in police files made public this week. (more…)
