CHILD porn websites need to be blocked by internet search giants, a leading children's charity has warned.
The warning came after Mark Bridger was jailed for life for the abduction and murder of five-year-old schoolgirl April Jones.
Phillip Noyes, the acting chief executive of the NSPCC, said: "It seems Bridger lived in a fantasy world which included looking at child abuse images online.
"For some time we have been concerned about the growing number of these obscene images which are becoming more easily available and can fuel the fantasies of offenders like Bridger.
"This case points to the ever-growing evidence that there is a worrying link between looking at this vile kind of material and committing other serious sexual assaults. April's death will hopefully lead to effective measures to stamp out this vile trade."
The Government came under pressure yesterday to force internet firms such as Google to put a stop to child porn websites.
