Suffolk man avoids prison after downloading over 40,000 indecent images of children
Ipswich Star

Nessling, 59, now of Stowmarket, admitted three offences of making indecent images of children and possessing prohibited images of children.
He was given a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work in the community.
He was also ordered to take part in a 35 day rehabilitation activity programme and ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for ten years. He was also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order.
Sentencing Nessling, Judge David Goodin said: “You plainly have it in you to be a decent, responsible member of society.” He told Nessling, who is a father and a grandfather with no previous convictions, that the offences he had committed clearly crossed the custody threshold. However, he felt able to pass a suspended sentence because he had admitted the offences at an early stage and there was sufficient prospect of rehabilitation in his case.

Some may argue that Nigel Nessling's conviction for viewing, making and downloading child pornography has nothing to do with the case of Madeleine McCann.
While his offence may have no connection, the man himself certainly did. He was involved with a group called Forever Searching, which, in turn, is said to have been approached by the McCanns to help them with their search.

The charity I am raising money for is Forever Searching. I have been involved with, and helping to raise money for this charity for a couple of years now.

One of the founders of this group (I'm not sure it's a charity) was quoted as saying it was launched in September 2007 by six women in response to Madeleine's disappearance.
It works by using a network of worldwide volunteers registered on the site to distribute posters, emails and press releases.
Forever Searching also sets up pages on social networking websites for each of the children they investigate.
The McCanns approached Forever Searching just after the site launched as part of a global campaign to find their daughter. Niamh said: "They are still suffering immensely. They contacted us because they knew we could reach people from around the world to help them in their search.

Forever Searching was organised;
2008 Facebook
We are looking for volunteers to help within our small, friendly, professional group. Can you spare some computer time? As a volunteer you will need to use the internet to research possible target audiences, as well as emailing posters of missing children worldwide. You will be allocated a Team Leader who is there to assist you whenever needed. You will be required to email your weekly progress reports to your team leader and discuss where to focus next. You will need to have basic computer skills, be reliable and have a passion for missing children. If you wish to help our group please register at www.foreversearching.com We thank you – and the children thank you
At one point the UK Missing Persons Bureau was recommending the group as have This Morning on ITV.

So some of Nessling's online activity between 2008 and 2019 was probably directed by Forever Searching and his progress was reported back to them.
I'm not suggesting that the group knew of or condoned ny of his other activities at all. People with agendas often infiltrate organisations in order to achieve their own ends. What I am saying is that he worked his way into one organisation which was in contact with the McCanns for some reason. Whatever his role was in that organisation, I assume they had no knowledge of his activities as vee8 because I assume they would not condone them.

The newspaper article I posted during the week which you deleted was factual. Why was that deleted ?

I started the thread because I want to explore how easy it is for people like Nessling to deceive others. He presented himself as someone who cared deeply about missing children but at the same time his actions meant he was condoning/encouraging child sex abuse.
Please do post carefully and factually so we maybe learn something from this.
A lot of what he posted as vee8 has been deleted, but his blog still exists which demonstrates his attitudes and opinions to a certain extent.

Without being familiar with someone in real life & knowing that they access the dark web, how can you make a judgement on someone who holds largely the same opinions as yourself on a particular matter?
