Do not jail all paedophiles, says police chief.

'Paedophiles who view indecent images but go no further should not be jailed but
rehabilitated, a leading child protection police officer has said.



Police forces "cannot cope" with the "huge" rise in reports, Chief Constable Simon Bailey,
of the National Police Chiefs' Council, told the BBC.
Figures show the number of child abuse reports is up by 80% in three years.

The Home Office said "viewing child abuse images is a terrible crime and should be treated
as such".

Chief Constable Bailey, the head of Operation Hydrant, which is investigating multiple allegations
of historic sexual abuse across the UK, said he knew his view would cause nervousness and
draw headlines.

But he said the numbers of reports of abuse were at "huge proportions" - an NSPCC study in
late 2016 used figures which suggested the number of individuals looking at such images could
exceed half a million.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme about 400 people were arrested by police in conjunction
with the National Crime Agency every month, for looking at indecent images.

"There are undoubtedly tens of thousands of men that are seeking to exploit children online with a
view to meeting them, with a view to then raping them and performing the most awful sexual abuse
upon them," he said.

"That's where I believe our focus has got to be.
They are the individuals that pose the really significant threat."...'
