Madeleine McCann: Rhys Jones, Peacocks And Pre-Teen Swimwear Photos
MADELEINE McCann is back in the news because a 48-year-old grandfather called Rhys Jones has been taking pictures of boys in their swimwear as he holidays on the Algarve. He is having beach holiday in Vilamoura. The boys are, reportedly, aged 8 to 15.
Parents approach him. They don’t like it. He is “arrested”. He is an arguido.
Mr Jones works for Peacocks, the high-street clothing chain based in Cardiff.
He says he was taking the photos for research. Peacock sells swimwear for boys. Mr Jones is the international operations and development controller for Peacocks. Says he:
“I was absolutely stupid. When parents approached me I realised what an idiot I’d been. I can fully understand the parents’ reaction. I’ve been bloody stupid. My wife keeps telling me I’m an idiot – she’s right, I was. But I didn’t try to sneak any pictures, I did it all openly.”
But why is this news? Well:
The beach is 50 miles from where Madeleine McCann disappeared from her parents’ apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007.
How close to Praia does an alleged crime have to take place before it becomes a Maddie crime?
While you ponder that, Mr Jones becomes the Sun’s:

Black and white computer-generated e-fits of two suspicious men seen hanging around Praia da Luz before Madeleine went missing which were released from official police files after Portuguese authorities shelved their investigation but which were never made public by detectives and a e-fit of a suspect released as part of a new TV documentary to mark the second anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance. The artist's impression shows a pock-marked and 'very ugly' man who appeared to be watching the apartment where the little girl was staying with her family on the day before she vanished.
