When I saw the news this morning one of the first things I heard was that a network of pedophiles was busted spreaded over more then 19 countries.

At work I had a heated discussion about the 10 months period which it took to properly investigate the issue. She was shocked that LEA's took so long. My question is this: what is preferred, longer investigation but with a high certainty of conviction. This brings the risk of innocent children being misused.
The other possiblility is to arrest as soon as it becomes clear with animals they are dealing with. This risk is that you make room for error and less chance for a conviction. Obviously the chance for extra victims is also less. I am just glad that I don't have to make the call.
