A Glasgow student has admitted running an international child porn ring from an
city centre internet cafe. Nicholas Dockray, 31, sent images of children being
abused to paedophiles in the US, UK and Europe. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard
Dockray was traced to the cafe when Croatian police arrested a known sex
offender, who was a member of the porn ring. Sentence was deferred for a risk
assessment and Dockray was placed on the sex offenders register. He had been
caught when the police in Croatia found repeated references to a person
nicknamed Kinderpix who ran the site. He was thanking them for posting images
and encouraging others to follow suit

Kinderpix was eventually identified as Dockray. The inquiry then spread and after
a two-year probe the 389 members of the ring were identified. They will now be
traced and possibly charged with child porn offences. Dockray, a second-year
student studying history and philosophy, admitted distributing or showing
indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children and taking or
permitting indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children.
Surveillance operation These offences were committed in the Easyeverything
Internet Cafe in St Vincent Street, Glasgow, between 15 December, 2002, and 15
August, 2003. Dockray, of Commercial Court in the Gorbals, also pleaded guilty to
having indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children at the cafe on
16 August, 2003. The court was told that police launched an undercover
surveillance operation and also examined hours of CCTV camera footage.
Dockray was arrested at the cafe in August 2003. His flat was searched but he did
not have a computer. Danger claim The court heard that Dockray did have 879 still
images and 104 film images of child porn. Keith O'Mahony, prosecuting, said:
"Also found were communications from the accused and other members. "He was
thanking them for posting images and encouraging others to follow suit. "One of
the members complained that the site was not properly protected from detection
and the accused told him it was to 'allow new blood in'." When interviewed by
police Dockray claimed he was not interested in having sex with children and he
was not sexually aroused by the images. He said he only got involved because of
the danger aspect of it.
