Child sexual abuse in the UK is soaring, police have said, with 1,000 paedophile suspects being arrested each month and the number of children being rescued from harm rising by 50% in the last five years.
The National Crime Agency said the growth in offending across the UK was driven by technology and linked to the radicalisation of offenders in online forums, encouraging people to view images of child sexual abuse by reassuring them it was normal.
Most contact with children happened on mainstream social media platforms, with algorithms pushing paedophilic material to people who have shown a previous interest in it.
The significant increase in every measure “really worries us”, said Rob Jones, the NCA’s director general of operations.
Leads about people interested in sexually abusing children had risen tenfold in a decade, he said, with 1,200 children a month being safeguarded.

Sadly he isn’t. But in Norway it’s a different story.

This is good, and I’m glad he’s being charged. I hope Norway continues this trend.
That being said, I feel like there’s something odd about being proud of charging a rapist (granted, he is a rapist in power so him being charged is a very good thing) when there are people like the former prime minister who probably raped kids (he’s under investigation, time can only tell what will happen there).
Idk, it seems like a hollow victory — my sense of justice is telling me that so so much more needs to be done, and it needs to be done yesterday.

Have fun getting up and going to work.
On one hand I’m mad they’re raping children, but when you frame it as them not making me do it too there’s at least that
