Best news of the day

Absolutely fantastic news and no sympathy for those involved...sadly most will go unpunished unless the various Police authorities commence detailed investigations.

More than 100 Britons were among 1,000 men caught trying to pay a computer-generated child to perform sex acts online, after a Dutch children's charity set up a fake profile.
Terre des Hommes carried out a 10-week sting near Amsterdam, posing on video chat rooms as "Sweetie", a 10-year-old Filipina girl.
Some 20,000 men contacted her, with 1,000 found to have offered her money.
The names of these men - including 110 Britons - were passed to police

Would you care to interpret or enlighten me regarding the above?

Anyway, they should do this more often. The more people they catch, the better.

I do hope that the scum get what they deserve. A nice cellmate that decides that they would make a nice plaything.

I think Aktungbby's enigma rotors are stuck.

I say they publish the names and addresses of those who made outright responses to the sting. And they should also publish the names and positions of those in govenment and law enforcement assigned to the specific cases and require those individuals to report on a set basis what they are doing or have done to punish those reponsible. Nothing motivates like "feet to the fire"...

That is why soap on a rope is so popular

I hope every single one gets followed up and prosecuted with the full weight of the law.

If there are any finns involved then I'm afraid they will go essentially unpunished. I checked Criminal Code of Finland (19.12.1889/39) and section that most likely would apply is 20th Chapter (24.7.1998/563) About sexual crimes, 8 a § (20.5.2011/540) Buying sexual services from minor. Punishment would be fines or prison sentence for upto two (2) years. Most likely prison sentence would be given as suspended which nowadays here essentially means same as no punishment at all. This is because it will be enforced and person sent to prison only if person commits crime for which he or she would get non-suspended prison sentence.

NOTE: All previously are my translations. There is no upto date translation which is accessible to me Upto date legislation in PDF format (which I can't read) is here: http://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannok...en18890039.pdf
