Unmasked: The NHS Psychiatrist and Cheshire Tyre Fitter Who Ran Massive Global Paedophile Ring Called ‘The Annex’ for ‘King Paedo’ Mastermind
By DailyMail News
Read the Mail’s exclusive report on how two British lieutenant helped run the network used by 100,000 paedophilesThe operational structure of the sprawling international ‘enterprise’ known as The Annex was much akin to that one might find in any business.
Tyre fitter Nathan Bake, a 28-year-old loner, described by an ex colleague talking to the Mail as ‘awkward’, ‘nerdy’ and a ‘cat obsessed computer whizz’, was sentenced to 16 years in prison last month. Garg, whose father is a prominent psychiatrist in India, was sentenced to six years in prison last June, having been umasked as a ‘gateway moderator’ on the site.
So just how did The Annex manage to extend its twisted tentacles across the globe to become one of the biggest networks of its kind, and, more importantly, how did the combined forces of cross-border crime detection agencies bring it crashing down? One of the site’s various ways of rewarding users was the sharing of colours, then hearts, as a reward system as they worked their way up the sordid ladder. In this world status and contribution was valued higher than cash; investigators do not think rewards extended to actual payments, although it is thought that money, in the shape of crypto-currency was exchanged between some users and managers of the site.
As we can reveal, the international nerve centre of the forum was in a cluttered garage in a suburban street in Madison, Alabama where a father-of-three, a US Army veteran named William (Bill) Spearman, going by the user name ‘King Pedo’ presided (remotely) over a team of 30 loyal staff members around the globe and a dizzying array of members and ‘visitors’.
Using online aliases ‘Enforcer’ and ‘King Pedo’, Spearman ruled his team of staff with a rod of steel, putting rules in place that encouraged lower-ranking users to rise through the hierarchy by posting more child sexual abuse material and demoted those who didn’t.
