this story is beyond human reasoning read this only if it will not upset you
EIGHT paedophile monsters were facing years behind bars last night after being convicted of sickening child porn and abuse crimes.
Victims of the fiends — who were snared by their vile net chats — included a three-month-old tot and a toddler, who had to undergo sex disease tests.
Cops now hope their probe into the depraved network could help smash a massive international paedo ring.
One senior detective said: “Until you start to dig in this cesspit, you can have no idea of the depths of depravity out there. But just as shocking is how widespread it is.
Two of the eight men — convicted sex offender Neil Strachan and gay rights campaigner James Rennie — were found guilty of abusing kids.
HIV positive Strachan, 41, and Rennie, 38, both from Edinburgh, were also convicted of conspiring to abuse youngsters, along with three other members of the gang.
All of the evil network accused in the 10-week trial were convicted of a string of child porn offences.
Last night the shattered families of the abused children spoke of their revulsion at the gang.
The mum of the 18-month-old toddler said in a statement: “The anguish I feel towards Mr Strachan is indescribable.
And the family of the baby targeted by Rennie added: “We have had to learn to live, and cope with, the effect these horrific events have had.
Police have already identified men throughout Britain with links to the gang.
The senior cop added: “This one case involving just eight men in the dock has caused investigators to access links to literally hundreds of other apparently like-minded individuals.
“The tentacles are spread out all over the UK and even to a potentially massive network in Europe.
“This case is likely to be a landmark in more ways than one.
All the offences were committed in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and East Lothian during various periods from February 2004 to May 2008.
A jury took ten hours to reach decisions on a total of 54 charges.
Judge Lord Bannatyne called for background reports at the High Court in Edinburgh before sentencing at a later date.
Det Supt Allan Jones, of Lothian and Borders Police, said: “As the investigation unfolded it revealed a web of people who had a common interest in child sexual abuse.
