“Offensive” Virtual Images of Children are now Illegal in the UK
14 November 2009After much lobbying by numerous commercialised “charities”, the parliament of the United Kingdom has enacted a law which is likely to lead to the sexual abuse of countless real children but is likely to win support for the spineless and dangerous politicians who supported it.
In their earlier defence of legislation against images of virtual children, […]
Proposing, Veiling and Prosecuting Thoughtcrime
20 January 2009In George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects, labelling disapproved thoughts with the term thoughtcrime or, in Newspeak, “crimethink”. In the book, Winston Smith, the main character, writes in his diary: “Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is […]
Possession of Child Pornography Becomes Illegal in Slovenia
1 November 2008The mere possession of child pornography has today become an offence in Slovenia, following the adoption of a new penal code. According to the new law, it will be an offence for a person to possess “pornographic or other sexual material depicting minors or their realistic images”. The maximum sentence for possession is up to […]
Politics of an Obscene Character
29 May 2008The suitably Orwellian-sounding Ministry of Justice has announced that it is to criminalise the possession of “all images of child sexual abuse, including drawings and computer-generated images”.
When the Home Office originally outlined their plans to criminalise such cartoons, I urged people to send a reply to the consultation and many people did voice their concerns. […]
The Content of “Indecent Images”
1 May 2008It is often claimed that child pornography involves violence and sexual abuse against children. That claim is used to justify a vast amount of funding for organisations such as CEOP, as well as restrictive and illiberal legislation.
The book Child Pornography: Crime, Computers and Society provides insight into the content of indecent images, using a sample […]
Fantasies and Consent
28 February 2008Adult-attracted men - whether heterosexual or homosexual - often state that being attracted to children is wrong, citing a child’s inability to give informed consent as a justification for their stance. While I do not believe that children can give informed consent to engage in sexual activity with adults, for reasons both psychological and social, […]
Child Nudity: Indecency vs Illegality
22 December 2007If you are a regular reader of this website, you will already be aware that many people in the UK are convicted of making and possessing indecent images of children - contrary to the Protection of Children Act (1978) and the Criminal Justice Act (1988) - simply for viewing naturist images of children.
At the […]
Paedophiles Working With Children
24 November 2007I do volunteer work with children.
But why do I do volunteer work with children?
I’ve wanted to work with children for a while because I find them sexually attractive.
I’ve wanted to work with children for a while because I find them emotionally attractive.
One reason is totally unrelated to paedophilia.
But here’s something which the bigots may not […]
Thought Crime, UK Style
31 October 2007Two articles from Sky News intend to expose what is clearly perceived to be “typical” paedophile behaviour. While they believe that they offering a shocking insight into the minds of paedophiles, they are merely exposing the deplorable state of a society which seeks to destroy those who have feelings which most people can’t understand.
The first […]
There’s a Paedophile in Your Neighbourhood
10 August 2007Actually, there are probably hundreds. How do I know this?
“Laboratory researchers have validated physiologically the self-report studies of nonclinical, nonpedophile identified volunteers. In a sample of 80 “normal” volunteers, over 25% self-reported some pedophilic interest or in the plethysmographic phase exhibited penile arousal to a child that equaled or exceeded arousal to an adult […]
