Internet wags have created a site to mark the online publication of a list of child sex offenders who have failed to report to the police.

Unlike the real Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre site, pervhunt.com points towards a gallery of Page 3 models from UK tabloid The Sun. The link has now been broken. Pervhunt was registered on Friday for reasons best known to its anonymous registrants but possibly not unconnected to the idea that the real crime - crimestoppers-uk.org/ceop - doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. ®
