NEW WEBSITE PILLORIES DUTCH PAEDOPHILES

Death threats are just one of the reported consequences of the controversial step taken by a Dutch campaign group in publishing the names, addresses and - in some cases - photographs of paedophiles on the internet despite rules in the Netherlands banning such a move.

The group in question, Stopkindersex (Stop Child Sex), has hosted its site in the US to get around the legal ban in the Netherlands. The site was flooded this weekend by people anxious to learn if they are living in the vicinity of a convicted paedophile.

Meanwhile, a small Dutch political grouping - commonly known as the 'Paedo Party' - which is campaigning for more tolerance towards paedophile sex, has filed a complaint with the police against the website, arguing that it violates the country's privacy laws. read more (radionetherlands.nl)
