BRITAIN: Members of a paedophile gang were jailed yesterday for a string of child sex offences against British boys in the UK and abroad.
Four men were sentenced at Newcastle crown court, after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to 17 offences on three vulnerable boys from Tyneside.
They were committed in Spain, Kent, London, and the Northumbria area between December 2004 and December 2007, in what Judge John Evans described as an "altogether horrendous story".
Middlesbrough-born Peter Melling (58) and Paul Anthony Bures (53), from Kent, were both jailed indefinitely.
