Some of Britain's most wanted child sex offenders are identified publicly on a new website dedicated to tracking them down.
It is thought to be the first time that details of convicted paedophiles have been published nationwide by Britain's law enforcement agencies.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre has set up the site, at www.ceop.gov.uk/wanted, to appeal for information about child sex offenders who have disappeared off the radar.
They are not men wanted over
(
unsolved crimes, but offenders who have already served punishment and then gone missing after failing to comply with legal restrictions on their movements.
Breaching these so-called "notification requirements" - which are conditions of their placement on the sex offenders register - is an arrestable offence punishable with up to five years in prison.
The five men named on the website are Alexander Colin Dalgleish, Gordon Stewart, Paul Turner (also known as Paul Francis or Geddes), Joshua Karney, who also goes by five other names, and Kamil Krawiec. The site includes photographs, physical descriptions, additional information and a warning against vigilante action.
The CEOP centre stressed that the website was not about "naming and shaming" offenders whose whereabouts are already known, but finding those who have gone missing and cannot be traced by the police.
The initiative is running together with the Crimestoppers Most Wanted site, which is designed to help track down Britain's most dangerous on-the-run criminals.
Jim Gamble, chief executive of the CEOP Centre, said: "The success of the Crimestoppers website in gaining the support of the public to help track the UK's most wanted criminals is unprecedented here in the UK. Now we need to move a lot of that success towards protecting children and safeguarding communities from harm.
"While it isn't new for the UK police to publish details of offenders on their own sites, this is the first time that a nationwide - and indeed global - approach has been adopted."
