A report released today by children's charity NCH has put the blame for the dramatic rise in child porn

offences down to the internet.

Since the late 1980s, the number of child porn offenders has risen by 1,500 per cent – from just 35 arrested

in 1988 to 548 in 2001. The report's author, NCH internet consultant John Carr, believes the link between

the rise in paedophile porn crimes and internet usage is more than just a coincidence.
