Paedophile Unit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Paedophile Unit is a branch of the British London Metropolitan Police Service's Child Abuse Investigation Command, based at Scotland Yard. It deals with organised crime and the manufacture and distribution of child pornography.[1] The Unit was the subject of a series of BBC television programmes concerning the "Hunt for Britain’s Paedophiles" which were the subject of a record 23,000 calls to the BBC Audience Line.[2] They were responsible for the break-up of the Pro-pedophile activism group called the Paedophile Information Exchange.[3]
