Pedophile Arrested After Viewing Child Porn in Internet Café

Internet Cafe

Note to pedophiles: don't browse child porn in internet cafes.

Bradley Pendragon, 47, of Armadale, Australia, was already serving a suspended sentence for possessing child pornography when he was arrested after a member of the public reported him to authorities -- for looking at child porn. In an internet café.

When police arrived on the scene, they found a flash drive containing several images of child pornography. The charge came only three weeks after Pendragon was given a suspended sentence, after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography on a computer thumb drive (which he actually tried to claim from police after he lost it at a movie theater). The drive allegedly contained 818 images of child pornography; police subsequently raided his home and found another disk with more images.

Pendragon spent 13 years in a Thai jail after being found guilty of threatening, beating, and raping three girls, but was released in 2006 and deported to Australia. Pendragon's lawyer Michael Tudori told the Court that his client contacted him two weeks ago saying he wanted to go back to prison.

So. Mission accomplished?
