Scum of the earth

I have read in today's newspaper, as I'm sure many have, about a young man convicted of child porn. The scariest thing is, he's my age! I thought paedophiles were old or ageing men. He was running a worldwide porn website porn ring thingy. All the things he is alleged to have done are truly disgusting and sick. I'm so glad that he is now going to be locked up. Even if it is for a pathetically short stretch. I just so suprised at his young age and the filth that he did.
