Do you remember these paedophiles who raped babies and distributed videos of the torture? Most are living in your community; think about that for a minute. Raping a baby, over and over again whilst it cries for it’s mother. Do you think that a few years in prison cured these paedophiles?
From a 2018 article:

The eighth member of a depraved paedophile ring has been incarcerated for conspiring to perpetrate a sexual assault on an infant.
Seven further gang members were incarcerated in 2015, while the principal investigation commenced in 2014.
A guy involved in a paedophile ring has been convicted today (Tuesday) of conspiring to rape a seven-month-old infant.
Mathew Law
Mathew Law, 50, became a crucial gang member who utilised encrypted communication, including TOR and the dark web, to avoid detection.
He is the eighth individual convicted in a broader investigation conducted by the National Crime Agency (NCA) after a two-week trial at Bristol Crown Court.
Law, who admitted guilt to planning to assault a kid under the age of 13 sexually, initially established communication with a notable member of the paedophile network, Christopher Knight.
Christopher Knight
Ringleader Knight, 38, of Manchester, was jailed for 24 years in 2015 after being convicted of rape of a child under 13, conspiracy to rape a child under 13, sexual assault of a child under 13 and possessing indecent images of children.
The paedophile group also communicated using regular lines of communication, including phone calls, texts and Skype messaging.
This enabled officers to link them together and unravel their plans.
Luke Phillips from the NCA said: “Mathew Law is the eighth individual to be jailed since this investigation began in 2014.
“Today’s conviction shows how determined the NCA is in its fight against those with a sexual interest in children and will leave no stone unturned in the relentless pursuit of offenders.
“If you are engaging with people online and watching and, or sharing indecent images of children, you will be identified and brought to justice.”
The law was remanded into custody and sentenced at a later date.
Among other convicted members of the paedophile ring are Robin Hollyson, 34, from Luton, who was found hanged in Bristol’s Horfield Prison jail three months into a 24-year jail term.
Robin Hollyson
Hollyson admitted filming himself raping a three-month-old baby in what the judge at the time called one of the most horrific abuse cases on record.
The seven men were jailed for a total of 78 years after Adam Toms’ confession sparked an investigation into the gang, who have now been revealed to have drugged babies and toddlers.
The gang would groom mothers – some while they were still pregnant – to gain unsupervised access to their children.
One baby was raped and sexually abused by three of the gang members over months. The others watched on live internet feeds.
John Denham, formerly named Ben Harrop, 53, of Wiltshire, was sentenced to 12 years in jail for conspiracy to rape a child under 13, conspiracy to sexually assault a child under 13, distributing indecent images of children and extreme pornography.
