Online paedophile ring cracked

Eight members of a Scottish paedophile ring are found guilty of a series of child abuse charges, as Jane Deith reports.

All eight were members of what is thought to be Scotland's biggest paedophile ring and were traced through their explicit exchanges online.

One of their victims was a three-month-old baby.

Police also uncovered the extraordinary double life led by one of the group's ringleaders, James Rennie, who had been considered a pillar of the local community.

They seized almost 125,000 indecent images during Operation Algebra.
