This crime piece from The Times reads like the denoument of an episode of Law and Order or Criminal Minds:


Five children have been rescued from paedophiles in a series of raids on homes in England and Scotland.

The boys and girls, aged between seven and 13, had been attacked on a regular basis and their abusers had planned to broadcast their ordeals over the internet.

Some pretty sick stuff but with a good result in the end. When I read news stories like this, however, I’m always amazed by how stupid most criminals are.
But then again, burglars still keep leaving fingerprints and rapists still keep leaving DNA, so stupid is probably the right word, even if the pervert is a lawyer, and for that we should be grateful.
