0:00:140:00:15

-Every criminal case is a distinct

-challenge for the detective.

0:00:160:00:21

-To discover the truth,

-they need patience and curiosity.

0:00:240:00:29

-Tonight, North Wales Police open

-the doors of a special unit...

0:00:390:00:43

-..that targets offenders who abuse

-and corrupt children online.

0:00:430:00:48

-We arrest them at every opportunity

-and put them in prison.

0:00:490:00:52

-We'll learn how one covert

-investigation caught a London man...

0:00:550:00:59

-..who was on his way to North Wales

-to meet a thirteen-year-old girl.

0:00:590:01:03

-We watched him drive down the A55.

0:01:040:01:06

-And how did they catch a North Wales

-offender who was paying...

0:01:070:01:11

-..to watch boys

-being sexually abused...

0:01:110:01:14

-..on the other side of the world?

0:01:150:01:17

-We're talking about children being

-raped in the Philippines...

0:01:180:01:22

-..while he's sitting in his bedroom

-livestreaming it.

0:01:220:01:26

-Cases of online child sex abuse

-are on the rise in Britain.

0:01:530:01:57

-Catching sex abusers who target

-and exploit children online...

0:01:570:02:01

-..is a huge challenge

-for the police.

0:02:010:02:04

-In St Asaph, North Wales Police have

-a special unit called POLIT.

0:02:200:02:25

-It carries out investigations

-to catch sex offenders.

0:02:250:02:30

-It was set up in October 2015...

0:02:320:02:34

-..because of the rise in offences.

0:02:340:02:37

-It was important for us, as a force,

-to bring our skills together...

0:02:370:02:42

-..so that we could deal

-with these new cases.

0:02:420:02:45

-We have experts with skills

-in digital forensics...

0:02:460:02:49

-..and also researchers

-with a detective background.

0:02:490:02:53

-We also have a team specialising

-in cyber crime.

0:02:540:02:57

-It's a newly established team.

0:02:570:03:00

-One of the first things they do

-with a suspect...

0:03:010:03:04

-..is examine any digital devices

-in their possession.

0:03:050:03:08

-On this side, we have people

-examining mobile phones and tablets.

0:03:100:03:16

-This work is increasing too. They've

-replaced desktops and laptops.

0:03:160:03:21

-This is where the work starts.

0:03:230:03:25

-The jobs comes into the unit here...

0:03:250:03:28

-..and the technical people strip

-down laptops and computers.

0:03:280:03:32

-With the rise in Internet use,

-the team face an enormous challenge.

0:03:320:03:37

-The rise in the use of social media

-has brought new dangers...

0:03:370:03:41

-..especially for children.

0:03:410:03:43

-We can't afford to not understand

-the Internet anymore.

0:03:440:03:48

-We all have to understand it and

-know what we're doing with it.

0:03:480:03:52

-If you give a 12-year-old

-a new phone...

0:03:530:03:55

-..you have to know what apps

-they're going to use.

0:03:560:03:59

-It's important that parents and

-families understand the threat...

0:04:000:04:04

-..so that they can avoid

-becoming victims.

0:04:050:04:10

-Tonight, the team shares

-a recent case file with us.

0:04:260:04:30

-In August 2016, a London man began

-communicating online...

0:04:310:04:36

-..with a thirteen-year-old girl

-from North Wales.

0:04:370:04:42

-The man's name was James Shand.

0:04:420:04:45

-The pair began chatting via an app

-called Kik Messenger.

0:04:480:04:51

-The girl made it very clear

-that she was thirteen years old.

0:04:510:04:55

-But he wasn't as honest with her.

0:04:560:04:58

-On his Facebook profile, he called

-himself a dynamic boy...

0:05:010:05:05

-..and said that he was 23 years old.

0:05:050:05:08

-But James Shand was really

-30 years old.

0:05:080:05:11

-They chatted online and by telephone

-for about a month.

0:05:140:05:19

-The language was sexual.

0:05:210:05:23

-He sent her sexy pictures

-of himself.

0:05:230:05:27

-He was talking about the future,

-saying that he wanted to marry her.

0:05:280:05:33

-It was very worrying, really.

0:05:330:05:38

-The detectives

-have shared his messages with us.

0:05:420:05:45

-In one chat, they discuss meeting up

-and where they should go to eat.

0:05:510:05:56

-But other comments by Shand suggest

-that he had a more sinister aim.

0:06:010:06:06

-The girl tells him

-that she's never had sex...

0:06:160:06:20

-..and that she isn't ready

-to have babies yet.

0:06:200:06:23

-James Shand arranges a date

-to meet her in Rhyl.

0:06:290:06:32

-He books a hotel room

-near Liverpool.

0:06:340:06:36

-He'd booked a room in a hotel...

0:06:380:06:41

-..in Warrington with a double bed.

0:06:410:06:45

-He sent her a picture

-of the booking...

0:06:450:06:50

-..via Kik Messenger to confirm

-that he'd booked it.

0:06:510:06:56

-She replies that she is afraid of

-what might happen at the hotel.

0:06:570:07:01

-He tries to persuade her to go

-to the hotel...

0:07:080:07:11

-..and promises her rose petals

-and chocolate.

0:07:110:07:15

-September 10 is the big day.

0:07:210:07:23

-That morning, detectives monitor

-his online messages.

0:07:250:07:29

-We knew when he was coming.

0:07:320:07:36

-He'd sent a picture of his car.

0:07:360:07:41

-We knew

-exactly what he'd be driving.

0:07:410:07:43

-So we decided to lie in wait

-for him.

0:07:440:07:47

-On Saturday morning...

0:07:530:07:54

-..the police heard that his car had

-left London just before 7.00am.

0:07:540:07:59

-Then at 10.45, the car was seen

-arriving in North Wales.

0:07:590:08:03

-James Shand was here on the A55

-travelling in the direction of Rhyl.

0:08:030:08:09

-We received confirmation that

-James Shand was on his way.

0:08:130:08:16

-He sent a picture of himself

-at a service station to the girl...

0:08:180:08:22

-..to say that he was on his way.

0:08:220:08:24

-We watched him drive down the A55.

0:08:250:08:27

-It was very exciting to know

-that he was coming.

0:08:300:08:33

-We saw him on the cameras.

0:08:330:08:35

-The team were in two cars.

0:08:350:08:38

-One was a traffic vehicle...

0:08:380:08:40

-..waiting for him under a bridge

-on the A55.

0:08:400:08:45

-This vehicle followed him

-and stopped him in St Asaph.

0:08:450:08:49

-The team arrest James Shand and take

-him into custody in St Asaph.

0:08:510:08:56

-He was in shock.

-He certainly hadn't expected this.

0:09:020:09:07

-He didn't get the weekend

-he'd been expecting.

0:09:080:09:12

-While in custody, he asked

-detectives to contact the girl...

0:09:140:09:19

-..in case she was waiting for him.

0:09:190:09:21

-But the detectives have a secret

-to share with him.

0:09:210:09:25

-The girl was an undercover officer.

-There was no 13-year-old girl.

0:09:260:09:31

-It had been the undercover officer

-from the beginning.

0:09:310:09:35

-They had succeeded in deceiving him.

0:09:360:09:39

-The 13-year-old girl

-was a TITAN detective...

0:09:400:09:43

-..a specialist from the North West

-Regional Organised Crime Unit.

0:09:430:09:47

-He clapped his hands and said,

-"Well done!"

0:09:470:09:51

-James Shand admitted that he'd

-travelled to North Wales...

0:09:580:10:02

-..with the intention of meeting

-the girl in Rhyl.

0:10:020:10:06

-He said that he'd intended taking

-her to Liverpool for the day.

0:10:060:10:10

-He denied meeting her

-for sexual purposes.

0:10:100:10:13

-He said that he didn't remember

-sending any pictures...

0:10:130:10:17

-..or comments of a sexual nature

-to the child.

0:10:170:10:20

-But the detectives had a record

-of all his messages.

0:10:230:10:26

-His journey to North Wales

-and his hotel booking were proof...

0:10:270:10:31

-..that he'd intended to

-realize his fantasy.

0:10:310:10:34

-He could have said that he would

-never have driven to North Wales...

0:10:340:10:38

-..and that the whole thing

-was a fantasy.

0:10:390:10:41

-He would never have gone.

0:10:420:10:43

-But, of course, the reason

-we allowed him to travel...

0:10:430:10:47

-..was so that we could prove that

-he was serious about this...

0:10:470:10:51

-..and that he was prepared to meet

-this girl and take her to a hotel.

0:10:520:10:57

-James Shand pleaded guilty...

0:10:580:11:00

-..to the charge of communicating

-with a child under the age of 16...

0:11:000:11:05

-..with the intention

-of committing a sexual act.

0:11:060:11:09

-In November 2016,

-at Mold Crown Court...

0:11:090:11:12

-..he was sentenced to 21 months

-in prison...

0:11:120:11:16

-..and placed on the Sex Offenders'

-Register for ten years.

0:11:160:11:20

-Although

-there was no 13-year-old girl...

0:11:220:11:25

-..there so easily could have been.

0:11:250:11:27

-Unfortunately, there are cases

-where children of that age...

0:11:270:11:32

-..are online and communicating

-with people...

0:11:320:11:36

-..and this can have

-serious consequences.

0:11:360:11:39

-It's very satisfying to have

-arrested someone like that...

0:11:400:11:44

-.. and put him in prison, because it

-could have been a real child.

0:11:440:11:49

-Usually, the team are dealing with

-real children who are being abused.

0:11:520:11:57

-In Part Two, I hear how they caught

-one man who paid to watch...

0:11:570:12:02

-..children being raped

-on the other side of the world...

0:12:030:12:06

-..from his home

-on the North Wales coast.

-Every day...

0:12:250:12:26

-..North Wales Police Paedophile

-On-line Investigation Team...

0:12:260:12:30

-..investigate cases

-of online child abuse.

0:12:300:12:33

-Within the team, there are experts

-that extract hidden data...

0:12:370:12:42

-..from all the data they receive.

0:12:420:12:45

-This is where our digital forensics

-team is based.

0:12:480:12:52

-This is where the team undertake

-the work of unpicking the data.

0:12:550:13:00

-Then the enquiry continues

-from there.

0:13:000:13:03

-The team use the latest techniques

-to catch the most cunning offenders.

0:13:050:13:10

-It's a huge challenge.

0:13:120:13:14

-Online offending is changing

-every day.

0:13:140:13:17

-It's important that we stay

-one step ahead...

0:13:170:13:20

-..and that we understand

-how offences are committed.

0:13:210:13:24

-In a recent case, the offender

-was on the unit's doorstep.

0:13:240:13:29

-In 2012,

-the National Crime Agency...

0:13:380:13:43

-..began an international

-investigation into online abuse...

0:13:430:13:47

-..after receiving an anonymous

-tip-off from South East Asia.

0:13:470:13:51

-There was an operation

-in the Philippines...

0:13:510:13:54

-..where a subject was identified

-out there who was a gang leader.

0:13:540:14:00

-He was using children

-in order to obtain cash...

0:14:000:14:05

-..from people

-throughout the world...

0:14:050:14:07

-..who were paying for the services

-of the children online.

0:14:070:14:11

-In November 2014, North Wales Police

-received information...

0:14:130:14:18

-..that one of those making payments

-lived in their area.

0:14:180:14:21

-The name of the person

-was Lee Roberts.

0:14:240:14:27

-He had been making electronic

-payments online...

0:14:270:14:30

-..through the Western Union bank.

0:14:310:14:33

-The payments were sent

-to individuals in the Philippines.

0:14:370:14:41

-In March 2013, he made his first

-payment of 50.

0:14:430:14:49

-The payments continued monthly.

0:14:500:14:52

-77 payments in all.

0:14:540:14:56

-Until the final one

-in October 2014 of 14.

0:14:580:15:03

-But they needed more evidence.

0:15:070:15:09

-Why was 32-year-old Lee Roberts

-from Kinmel Bay...

0:15:150:15:19

-..making these payments and to whom?

0:15:190:15:22

-On November 26, 2014...

0:15:260:15:28

-..Lee Roberts was arrested

-at his home in Kinmel Bay.

0:15:290:15:32

-Police took away all his computers

-and mobile phones for examination.

0:15:320:15:37

-He answered the door readily enough.

0:15:390:15:42

-We went in and arrested him.

-His parents were there.

0:15:420:15:45

-We seized his computers

-and mobile phones.

0:15:460:15:49

-We took everything with us

-back to St Asaph.

0:15:490:15:52

-When he was arrested,

-there was no emotion shown.

0:15:520:15:56

-His caution reply was something like

-he'd only done it the once...

0:15:570:16:01

-..whereas, obviously,

-when we examined the computers...

0:16:010:16:05

-..we were able to show that he was

-quite a prolific offender.

0:16:050:16:09

-At his parents' home

-in Kinmel Bay...

0:16:130:16:16

-..he'd downloaded thousands of

-images and dozens of videos...

0:16:160:16:20

-..including indecent images of boys

-between the ages of 6 and 15.

0:16:200:16:24

-The images consist of various

-levels, if you like.

0:16:260:16:30

-How much money he'd paid...

0:16:300:16:32

-..would determine how much abuse

-these individuals would undertake.

0:16:320:16:37

-It was a range of sexual abuse

-culminating in rape.

0:16:370:16:40

-On his computer, these pictures

-show a room in the Philippines...

0:16:400:16:45

-..full of computers

-and young children chatting.

0:16:460:16:50

-Detectives discovered that

-Lee Roberts was paying more...

0:16:500:16:55

-..to see the children

-in a private room.

0:16:550:16:58

-This is where the worst

-sexual abuse happened.

0:16:590:17:02

-He directed the children to perform

-sexual acts on each other via Skype.

0:17:080:17:13

-Most of the evidence is too horrific

-to show on television.

0:17:150:17:19

-We're talking about children...

0:17:410:17:44

-..young boys aged 6 to 15

-years old...

0:17:440:17:48

-..being raped in the Philippines...

0:17:480:17:51

-..while he's sitting in his bedroom

-in Kinmel Bay livestreaming it.

0:17:520:17:57

-The pictures found on the computer

-were in the worst abuse category.

0:18:130:18:18

-The evidence affected the team.

0:18:190:18:22

-I was talking to the analysts

-who went through the Skype chats.

0:18:320:18:37

-They could see that these children

-were being abused...

0:18:370:18:41

-..while Lee Roberts

-was paying for it.

0:18:410:18:46

-This had a big impact on the

-analysts and on the investigators.

0:18:460:18:51

-It is a disturbing case.

0:18:540:18:56

-When you see these images...

0:18:560:18:58

-..you just have to deal with it

-in a professional manner...

0:18:580:19:02

-..and try and move on.

0:19:020:19:04

-We have so many of these

-types of jobs.

0:19:040:19:06

-I wouldn't say you get used to it,

-but you get hardened to it.

0:19:060:19:09

-It is shocking.

0:19:100:19:11

-We offer welfare counselling

-to all staff.

0:19:120:19:15

-There is welfare screening

-every six months for staff.

0:19:150:19:19

-We see horrific pictures and videos.

0:19:230:19:25

-But we don't just see them,

-we have to listen to things as well.

0:19:250:19:29

-One of the things that staff

-find most difficult...

0:19:300:19:33

-..is listening to the videos

-and the sounds of the children.

0:19:330:19:37

-The images on Lee Roberts' computer

-were horrific.

0:19:460:19:50

-But there was more evidence

-to uncover.

0:19:510:19:54

-He would capture a video

-that he was filming on Skype...

0:19:560:20:00

-..where he was asking these children

-to abuse themselves for cash.

0:20:000:20:04

-He would video that...

0:20:040:20:06

-..but he would also then

-distribute it to others.

0:20:070:20:10

-So, then, you've got images

-of those children...

0:20:110:20:14

-..being distributed worldwide

-at the touch of a button.

0:20:140:20:18

-Lee Roberts was charged with

-possessing and distributing...

0:20:180:20:22

-..indecent images of children.

0:20:220:20:25

-He was also charged with encouraging

-children to commit sexual acts.

0:20:250:20:29

-During his interview, Lee Roberts

-admitted the charges against him.

0:20:300:20:34

-He said that he was lonely, gay and

-had made friends on social media...

0:20:350:20:39

-..before encouraging them

-to commit sexual acts.

0:20:400:20:43

-He said that he had stopped

-doing it.

0:20:430:20:45

-He knew it was wrong

-and that he had broken the law.

0:20:460:20:50

-At Mold Crown Court,

-he pleaded guilty.

0:20:520:20:56

-In March 2016, he was sentenced

-to six years in prison.
