Paedophile targeted boys of 7

Demetrious Panton was one of the many victims of Bernie Bain, a notorious paedophile who was head of one of Islington's care homes in the Seventies.

Bain, who targeted boys of seven or eight and was described by police as "extremely violent" and "sadistic", was never brought to trial in Britain.

Detectives did not discover the full extent of Bain's activities until 1995, by which time he had been at large for 17 years, pursuing an abusive career which spanned three decades and three continents. Police found seven people willing to testify against Bain in court. He was living in Morocco at the time, having served a prison sentence there for abuse.

He was deported to Holland, but an attempt to extradite him to Britain failed. Despite an international warrant for his arrest he disappeared again, committing suicide in Thailand in May 2000.
