 Warwick Spinks was a British child trafficker and pedophile who operated in [[Amsterdam]] during the 1980s and 1990s. He managed the Gay Palace, a boy brothel masquerading as a gay nightclub in Amsterdam's Spuistraat district. Spinks was involved in mail order boy prostitution and pornography, pioneering the trafficking of boys as young as 10 from [[London]] streets and later from Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union's collapse. He operated multiple criminal enterprises including a mail order pornography business originally run from [[Brighton]] before moving to Amsterdam, a boy trafficking operation bringing children from London and Eastern Europe to Amsterdam, a concierge service renting apartments to foreign pedophiles and acting as their facilitator, and canal boat operations using boats outside central Amsterdam as discreet locations for his escort service.[^1]
