BRITAIN’S worst female paedophile, Vanessa George, is being guarded by police after angry protesters gathered outside her hostel near a nursery today.
George, 49, was jailed in 2009 for abusing at least 30 children in her care at Little Ted’s nursery in Plymouth.
Today, angry crowds gathered outside a property in Birmingham where George is staying – just 500 metres from another nursery.
Crowds held up ‘Keeping Kids Safe’ and ‘Stop Child Abuse Now’ banners.
Some protesters, believed to have been told to gather by paedophile hunter group ‘Predator Awareness’ on Facebook, were seen approaching parents at the nursery to ask if they were aware George was nearby, according to The Mirror.
West Midlands police later arrived at the scene, using police cars to stop protesters from accessing the hostel.
A 33-year-old woman was then arrested on suspicion of making threats to cause criminal damage.
The abuser was part of the 2009 Plymouth child abuse case, a paedophile ring involving at least five adults – including George – from different parts of England, which was cracked when one of the abuser’s colleagues found child pornography on his laptop.
Between late 2008 and early 2009, Vanessa George, Colin Blanchard, and Angela Allen met on Facebook and began sharing indecent images of children.
Police believe that they were in competition to produce the most perverted picture.
George began taking indecent images of babies and toddlers at the nursery where she worked, and also shared an indecent photograph of her own teenage daughter.
A fourth member of the ring, Tracy Lyons, a mother of nine from Portsmouth, Hampshire, pleaded guilty in March 2010 to assault of a child by penetration, sexual assault of a child under 13, causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and three offences of distributing indecent photographs of a child.
A fifth member of the ring, Tracy Dawber, a care worker from Southport, in Merseyside, was found guilty of one count of sexually abusing a baby in October 2010.
George, who worked in Plymouth and is now banned from the city, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault by penetration and two counts of sexual assault by touching.
She also admitted making, possessing and distributing indecent images.
She was ordered to serve at least seven years in prison.
