The paedophiles aged ten: 136 children under 15 convicted of sex offences on other youngsters in 2011

"Children found guilty on daily basis of raping another child, sexual grooming and taking or possessing of indecent photographs of minors

"One teenager a day is being convicted in our courts of sexual offences against a child, it emerged last night.

Last year a total of 357 youngsters aged 18 and under were found guilty of offences ranging from rape of another child, sexual grooming and the taking or possessing of indecent photographs of minors.

Shockingly, this includes 136 children aged between 10 and 15 who have been convicted of sexual offences against other children and who are, in effect, child paedophiles."
