A 19-year-old man arrested by police investigating the world’s biggest Internet child sex ring has been rebailed.

The man, from Thame, was one of 180 suspected paedophiles arrested around the world in January as part of Operation Rescue.

Last night Thames Valley Police spokesman Lucy Billen said the man was rebailed on Monday, but added officers investigating the case did not want to reveal his new bail date.

The operation was led by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) and centred on a now defunct website where the abuse of babies and children was discussed.
