"The BBC has been blasted for not cutting off a paedophile who rang in a phone-in to say how his eight year old daughters enjoyed being raped by him. He rang the radio show from prison and spent nearly five minutes on air discussing his sex crimes. The caller even spoke about how he had started to make videos of child sex on the late night BBC phone-in show."
*Listeners were horrified to hear the man repeat graphic details of his alleged crimes and argue DVDs of ‘child sex’ should be supplied to adults to prevent them abusing children.
The paedophile said: 'Both my daughters enjoyed sex with me when they were eight years of age, with full consent and knowledge of their mother.
'I've now progressed to making DVDs of child sex and I argue very strongly that I'm doing a public service.
'There are a lot of professional people paying good money to watch a DVD of children having sex.' "

But eventually the 68-year-old presenter got rid of the caller by saying: 'You're vile, get off.'
The BBC Trust, who launched an immediate investigation after the incident, released a report yesterday stating the broadcast breached editorial guidelines and was ‘a most serious error of judgement’.
The report by the BBC’s editorial standard’s committee said: ‘Trustees were deeply troubled by the fact that the caller had been allowed on air in the first place.’
They added it was considered to be in breach of guidelines ‘irrespective of whether the caller was actually describing his crimes or whether it was a hoax call’.
The report found that the show’s producer, who is supposed to listen to every call, ‘became distracted’ and so only listened to the last minute of the conversation.
The next morning, the editor was informed of the incident and passed the caller’s contact details on to Greater Manchester Police.
In an apology broadcast the night after the programme was aired, Beswick said: ‘If you were listening last night, you might have heard from a caller who made a number of grossly offensive comments.
‘Now, I’ve listened back to what he said and I’ve discussed the matter with people that I trust, and I’m now convinced that I shouldn’t have allowed the call to continue.
‘I should have ended it sooner. A lot sooner. So I apologise for that. And I apologise because I think you’re entitled to expect rather better from me.’
A BBC spokesperson said: ‘This was completely unacceptable and clearly broke our strict editorial guidelines. A full, on air apology was made.
‘All those involved recognise it was wrong to broadcast such offensive content.
‘We have already reviewed and strengthened our procedures and provided additional training and supervision.’
