A surge in seizures of child-like sex dolls by border officers has led investigators to identify dozens of previously unknown suspected paedophiles.
The lifelike silicone sex aids, which weigh around 55lb (25kg) and can cost thousands of pounds, are being imported into the UK after being sold by traders on sites including Amazon and eBay, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
Border Force officers have seized 123 dolls in little more than a year since March 2016 and so far seven people have been charged with importing them, including one man who was jailed last month.
Ms Stewart said the dolls were unlike those people might associate with stag dos and were the precursor to more sophisticated child sex robots, which she warned were “just around the corner”.
“They are the weight of a seven-year-old child, they are not something that is the traditional blow-up doll,” she said.
The dolls, with their unnerving glass-eye stare, false eyelashes and crooked fingers and toes, often come packaged with accessories including a choice of wigs, a USB device to warm the spongy silicone skin, and a cleaning device.
The NSPCC called on the Government to criminalise the manufacturing, distribution and possession of child sex dolls, and for online retailers to remove them immediately.
Barnardo’s chief executive Javed Khan said: “We welcome the action by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Border Force to ban these obscene and realistic sex dolls based on young children.”
An Amazon spokesman said: “All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action, including potential removal of their account”, while eBay added: “Items of this nature are prohibited from being sold on our platform. Our teams conduct regular sweeps of the site to remove any listings that contravene our policies.”
