ITV Paedophile case flaws

http://www.itv.com/news/paedophile-case-flaws08044/

Comments from Orees are:..this is old news  and seems to be good cop / bad cop excuses. It has been pointed out that the evidence 'The Team'  have ,ITV have no knowledge. Chris Saltrese has a good solid case.

The officer in the video and his fears, were ignored , as Jim Gamble along with CEOP went on to destroy lives without hard evidence to back them up, or in some cases no evidence at all. CEOP it seems have no comment. The BBC who assisted Gamble in his witch-hunt also silent.

Quote from an Oree.

It has never stopped Big Mouth from commenting before even when a court case was in session.  Unquote.


'Big Mouth' in case there are those in doubt is of course Gerrys pal Jimbo.

Case could clear names of hundreds of men accused of child pornography

Man arrested as part of Operation Ore in 2002 says his credit card details were stolen and used on paedophile sites

Hundreds of men who say they were wrongly accused of child pornography offences could have their names cleared after a case to be heard in the court of appeal tomorrow.

One of the 3,700 men arrested as part of Operation Ore in 2002, who says his life was ruined after he was falsely associated with one of the UK's biggest online child-abuse rings, will argue that his credit card details were stolen and used on paedophile sites.

The case stems from Operation Ore, an unprecedented police investigation that led to the arrest of 3,700 men in 2002 after they were linked to an American US-based website, "Landslide.

Police and prosecutors claimed that the men had all clicked on a banner advert on the site, which read: "Click here for child porn," and that police had obtained the names and addresses of more than 7,000 UK users who had followed the link.

But the lawyer acting for the man mentioned said that many of the suspects were innocent.

"Criminal webmasters would use stolen credit card details or take them from their own legal adult pornography sites and re-enter them to sign up for subscriptions to their illegal sites for child pornography," said Chris Saltrese. "There is evidence of bundles of different cards all being entered from one place, one after the other. It was simple fraud."

The appeal court will also hear that the banner was only ever one of a series of rotating ads that led to a legal adult pornography site.

Operation Ore has attracted controversy in the UK for the number of suspects it targeted. Critics claim that, whereas in the US, details were available of 35,000 users of the site but only 100 were prosecuted, the UK authorities prosecuted 1,800.

Thirty-nine of the men are reported to have killed themselves as a result of being prosecuted during the Ore inquiry, and campaigners say many others pleaded guilty to avoid the publicity of a trial.

The case, which has been strongly contested by officers involved in the original investigation, comes amid continuing controversy over efforts to target child exploitation online in the UK.

In July the government announced that CEOP, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, which is responsible for prosecuting offenders, would be absorbed into the National Crime Agency, following the coalition's programmme Policing in the 21st Century, announced in June.

Senior politicians close to CEOP have said that absorbing the organisation into the National Crime Agency will put children at risk.

"CEOP's effectiveness will be lost," a senior source said. "Effective child protection relies on knowledge running throughout an agency. It will be difficult to develop this in a large organisation like the National Crime Agency."

Last month head of CEOP Jim Gamble resigned, four months earlier than his expected departure, in protest at the plans, four months earlier than his expected departure, and has been placed on gardening leave. A number of other senior managers in the organisation are also thought to have resigned.

Although Operation Ore was conducted by the National Criminal Intelligence Service, a forerunner of CEOP, the investigation has attracted criticism for the organisation, as today's appeal could pave the way for other men to have their convictions overturned.

"I have clients who have lost everything: their jobs, their homes, their marriages, their children and their health," Saltrese said.

Police had 'serious doubts' about child porn database evidence

Police had “serious doubts” about the quality of evidence that led to the conviction of thousands of men for looking at child pornography online, it is claimed.

10:30PM GMT 10 Nov 2010

An investigation into the Operation Ore database, broadcast on the eve of a landmark appeal, alleged that detectives suspected many of those prosecuted were innocent victims of credit card fraud.

Peter Johnston, a former computer crime officer for Merseyside Police, told ITV News that officers rounded up people whose details had been linked to internet child pornography despite doubts over their guilt.

He said: “There then came the calls of ‘let’s get out, let’s get them locked up, let’s get these people off the streets, you can’t have paedophiles wandering round the streets’. My view, and it’s purely my own view, is that yes there was a witch hunt.”

Operation Ore began after authorities in America prosecuted the owners of a website called Landslide Inc, which showed child abuse images, and found the details of thousands of credit card users.

The names of more than 7,000 Britons were found on the database and some were prosecuted even though raids found no indecent images on their computers.
Their lawyers argue that some were victims of a miscarriage of justice, as their credit card details had been stolen and used to buy child pornography.

ITV News says it has uncovered an email from one detective involved in the manhunt who wrote: “I have serious doubts about the quality and integrity of the evidence supplied by the National Crime Squad.
“I strongly advise to hold back on any further action until further notice.”

One man whose home was raided during the operation told the programme, broadcast on Wednesday night:

“For a lot of people it has left them destroyed, ruined, bitter, twisted and finished their lives and their families. Broken their families up, broken their marriages up, finished their careers.”

It comes as the Court of Appeal hears a test case involving Anthony O’Shea, who was jailed for five months in 2005 after his details were found in Operation Ore, even though no images of paedophilia were found on his computer.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre said it could not comment on the allegations while the appeal was ongoing. It has previously denied that prosecutions were based solely on credit card evidence.

The Whitewash begins with news we have known for years

Blogging for Amaral

We blog all day and deep into the night,

For a battle, a cause and sometimes a fight,

Trying not to disturb those who sleep on,

Spouses in our beds, know not, we are gone,

We blog about JUSTICE for a three year old girl,

She has a droplet in her eye, shaped oval, like a pearl,

Parents she had, who claimed that they cared

,

The truth amongst nine, only, they shared,

To the rest of the world, she was TAKEN, alone,

From an apartment, and not, from her home

,

Her parents have lied , why, is not clear,

From something they’ve done, or just through pure fear,

Goncalo Amaral, in charge of the case,

Ordered the McCanns for a talk, face to face

,

The mother, refused, to help her small child,

Any other mother , who would be going wild
,

The father, he knew, about the ‘ cadaver dogs
’,

His ONLY concern, writing daily, on blogs,

Telling us all about his daily life,

He and his LADY, this terrible wife,

,

There is no PROOF, we are constantly told,

Sometimes I fear, I will blog, till I’m old,

FRAUD, the McCanns know, is a serious charge,

AND yet they still do it, to the public, at large,

Goncalo Amaral has laid his life on the line,

I, also too pledge, the rest of mine,

It is a cause and theres no turning around,

The truth about Madeleine, it must be found.

Bloggers Campaign

Journalists and editors, shackled or bought. McCanngate,  revealing the rot that was always inside the sweet red apple , a career once to be proud of'' becoming a journalist'  turned out to be just a bunch of hacks who would sell their mothers if the price was right. Gone are the days when they would stand in the pouring rain outside the Old Bailey waiting for ' the big scoop' .

For me,  the greatest realisation of all, when you think of how we are 'known' for caring for our children and protecting them. The big mouthed Jim Gamble ex CEOP, the mantra 'think of the children'. Well I am thinking of the children , right now I am thinking of one child in particular and what dreadful event took place to cause her death. I am thinking it is down to us, the Bloggers,  villified because we care, to sign every petition that gives us more freedom on the Internet. I am also wondering why they pretend to care about our children when they are doing everything in their power  to cover up the death of one small three year old and protect the parents who may have harmed her.

I am a strong supporter of Big Brother Watch and in my opinion they do not get the publicity they deserve. BBW  are the eyes for us all when it comes to the Goverment. It is down to us to get the news out there via the Internet, there is no other way. We can no longer stand by and let the likes of Keir Simmons and his cronies abuse bloggers for thinking the obvious, or trust a media who  lies for their own agenda and 'hacks' who find it amusing to insult intelligent bloggers who will not swallow the lines their paymasters are told to feed us.

Bercow must lift the ban on bloggers taking notes in Parliament

In many ways, Parliament represents all that is best about Britain.   Compared to almost every other deliberative legislature in the world, the quality of debate and opportunity for Members of Parliament to discuss issues is unrivalled.   Even the swiftest of glances at the controlled and staged nature of the United States House of Representatives or European Parliament with their measly time limits on contributions and lack of emotion proves that.

It may not be the most prescient point to make at present given the furore about expenses and freedom of information which has generated so much heat in recent years, but the British Parliament is also one of the most transparent and accessible in the world.  At the very heart of Parliament is the concept of allowing “strangers” free access to the Palace in order to observe debates and hold their representatives to account.   Indeed, Erskine May's Treatise on the Law, Privileges, Proceedings and Usage of Parliament – the so-called “Parliamentary bible” - outlines at great length the centrality of “strangers” to Parliamentary life.

With such a centuries-old commitment to openness engrained in the British parliamentary tradition, Big Brother Watch was therefore astonished to learn that the practice of note-taking is still forbidden in the Strangers Gallery.   Whilst fully accredited lobby journalists are permitted to take notes from their privileged perches in the Press Gallery, normal members of the public, you and I, are not.

In a day when a large number of people obtain their news from the blogs, why should ‘citizen journalists’ be denied the right to take notes and scribble down observations from the gallery, as members of the ‘established press’ can do? Many of the most important issues of the day are now discussed on blogs with a depth and thoughtfulness that isn’t accommodated by the hurley-burley of the press.
The maintenance of such a ban is made even more puzzling by the fact the ban has been lifted during Select Committee sessions.

Big Brother Watch will be writing to the Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow in order to request that parliamentary authorities drop this antediluvian regulation.

What do you think?

We’d love to hear from you if you’re a blogger and agree with our new campaign!

The Tenth Tapas

 Inauguration of the Tapas 10, Keir Simmons, who still believes fairies dwell at the bottom of his garden.

Pulling the plug on Keir Simmons

Keir Simmons , who really believes he counts and can make a difference, the patronizing comment below, which I have only just read , requires but one answer .....having never engaged with him on any level and after his latest role of 'victim' he comes across as a mummys boy, a spoilt brat. Well Keir those who sleep in a bed with fleas must expect to be bitten  (ironically) I have no intention of sending you my views when I can post them on my own blog. But to be honest Keir you really are a twenty two carrot......plug now being pulled.

Quote.

I worry that by allowing them to communicate with me, by effectively engaging with them, I am encouraging them. Perhaps it’s time for me in my own small way to say ‘stop’, I’d like to know what you think. Please send me your views on Twitter (ironically) or Facebook.
