Jim Gamble asked a 'madam' for young girls in a seedy Thailand bar

Child protection chief in TV probe

(UKPA) – 4 hours ago

The outgoing chief of Britain's child protection agency and the host of US TV show America's Most Wanted posed as paedophiles to investigate the sex trafficking of Cambodian youngsters.

Jim Gamble, ex-chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop), and John Walsh said they were shocked when they went into a Cambodian bar where there were 50 to 60 girls.

Mr Walsh said: "Within two minutes a madam came up to us and said, 'What are you looking for?' and Mr Gamble said: 'We're looking for young girls.' She brought over three or four girls that were (about) 12 or 13 years old - very, very young."

Mr Gamble told her they wanted younger girls, Mr Walsh said. He said the woman replied: "What do you want? We have six and seven-year-old boys and girls. I can arrange that off premises."

Mr Walsh said the experience was "disgusting and heartbreaking".

He said Western paedophiles from the US, Britain and Germany travelled east to Cambodia as international sex tourists.

He said his show chose Cambodia because it is cheap to buy a sex slave there.

"I saw many Western men that had come there not to go to the Buddhist temples, not to come there to look at the beaches, not to do anything at all but to molest and have sex with children. It's wrong, it's illegal and it has to change," Mr Walsh said.

He said the episode would be a "tough show to watch, but it is important to expose the reality that children are sexually assaulted by predators.

Senior police officer Mr Gamble, the former head of Northern Ireland's anti-terror unit, resigned from Ceop in October over the Government's decision to make it part of the National Crime Agency.

Is there more than meet the eyes?

What was real reason for merging CEOP into National Crime Agency?
To force CEOP chief to quit without compensation?

What would have happened if he had been arrested in Cambodia? Who was that actor with all the child porn, that he tried to pass off as "research"?

ETA Just remembered him. Chris Langham.

Can someone please tell me why it was necessary for Jim Gamble, head of one the top child protection agencies in the United Kingdom, to go into a seedy Thailand joint and ask if a 'madam' had 'girls younger than 12' available? Isn't this taking 'fact-finding missions a tad too far?

Thank goodness Gamble's now on gardening leave and a successor to him has been rapidly appointed. Another gold star for the new Coalition.

A search of Google News for 'Gamble' this morning reveals:

According to bonnybraes, Martin 'leave Gary Glitter alone' Brunt was also in Thailand with Gamble

Bonnybraes:
Oh, the irony....remember, this is on MM, whose members like nothing better to talk about than a disgusting paedophile "theory" involving Madeleine- unless it is being best friends with a real life paedophile.
On the subject of Jim Gamble's work in Thailand (I notice they seem to be ignoring the fact that Brunty was there too)

I have merged the two topics here under the Jim Gamble thread.

The thing is when he goes to these seedy places and claims its work....who does he has to send the report to?

When he found these sex slaves trade.....and these underaged children exploited what did he do to protect them?

Did he report to local authorities to come and raid these places and rescue these little girls?

His role was to expose paedophiles not travel all over to third world countries...Cambodia ...or thailand or wherever for that sort of trip at taxpayers expense.
Did he expect to run into old friends there.....or expect to catch westerner paedophiles in those places?

Come on..it makes no sense for someone in his position to do that kind of research.
Then where does that leave his subordinates with .....

Even investigative journalists dont go to that extent.

It's a sicko who can stomach that sort of trip.

It seems his whole role was about viewing child porno and personally visting seedy places offering young children..Blimey.

Thanks goodness he's on gardening leave ...he should dig a tranch (sp) and keep digging..

Another one who was only doing "research"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2648987.stm

"
The 57-year-old, who is married with children, said: "I am not a paedophile. I think paedophilia isappalling.""[size=18]To fight against paedophilia, you have to know what's out there," he said.[size=9]

The guitarist believes he may have been abused himself as a child

[/size]"I have been involved in a campaign against paedophilia on the internet but it fizzled out."[/size]

''Some 50 police officers have also been arrested and eight of them charged with offences, including two officers involved in the police investigation into the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.''

Unsurprisingly, Clarence Mitchell was on hand yet again to deal with any crisis affecting the established orders.

Has a previous link between gamble and Gerry been established?

That's a good question actually. It might explain why Jimbo went to PdL so quickly.

That report on Pete Townshend was at the end of 2002/2003. Wasn't that around the time of Operation Ore? When all these people suddenly had their "credit cards stolen". Just like what happened to Gerry, in London.

Just saying.

Pete Townshend's Child Porn Treatise

MAY 7--After a four-month investigation, London police today cleared Pete Townshend of kiddie porn charges. But the rock star will still spend five years on a U.K. register of sex offenders because the co-founder of The Who visited a web site containing child porn images. Townshend was nabbed in January on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children, though no such photos were found following a search of his home and computer. At the time of his arrest, Townshend admitted using his credit card to visit a web site offering child porn, but told cops he was just conducting research. Along with being placed on the sex offender registry, the performer had to submit a DNA sample to police and have his fingerprints and mug shot taken. As part of his "research project," Townshend drafted the below six-page treatise on the easy availability of child pornography on the Internet. So easy, in fact, that Townshend, 57, wrote that he accidentally discovered a photo of a two-year-old boy being raped when he typed the words "Russia," "orphanages," and "boys" into a search engine. Townshend claimed that he reached for his telephone and "intended to call the police and take them through the process I had stumbled upon--and bring the pornographers involved to [jail]," but that he decided not to contact authorities after discussing the issue with an attorney. Townshend's paper, which he once posted on his official web site, also notes that the "pathway to 'free' paedophilic imagery is--as it were--laid out like a free line of cocaine at a decadent cocktail party: only the strong willed or terminally uncurious can resist." In the January 2002 porn treatise, Townshend notes that since 1997 he has been working on "some kind of document" relating to Internet porn, but that he feared being arrested by police who were on a "witch hunt" to catch anyone who visited illicit web pages: "Those vigilantes who research these pathways open themselves up to internet 'snoops.'"

Hmmmm all in the name of research eh?
Yes shibboleth, the 'witch hunt' referred to in the article was Operation Ore?

Fascinating. Much to chew on there.

I see Townshend concludes by appealing for 'something to be done' about the availability of certain kinds of pornography.

In that case he should be interested in the House of Commons launch of 'safermedia' next Monday, 22 November, a new campaign: "The Harm that Pornography does", to reduce the pernicious infleunce of pornography on the human mind:

I'm going, together with at least one other Madeleine Foundation member.

I have one spare ticket if anyone else would like to go.

The event is in The Grand Committee Room, 1pm to 5pm

Gamble,Gerry and Brunt,perhaps they are all cut from the same cloth!!!!!.

Mr Gamble welcomed news of the BBC’s internal review but warned it would only be “credible” if it had the expertise and independence “that will deal with the perception, perhaps, that this culture of cover-up still exists within the organisation”.

Is Mr Gamble angling to run the BBC's internal review to make it "credible" I wonder?

Lol.

Looks like my mistake, I hear so much about the wrong kind of people going to Thailand for their holidays, so wrote that instead of Cambodia. You could arge that Gamble might have had to go to Cambodia to discuss practical measures on how to stop child trafficking and exploitation. But I'm not sure it was necessary for him to go to a seedy bar and ask for a 6-year-ol girl
