Should the police be on the prowl for pedophiles, they need look no further than the nearest organization promoting child sex abuse. In Britain, taking the rather obvious tack resulted in a phenomenal find.
Far north, in the chill of County Durham, Thomas O'Carroll was busy running the International Pedophile Child Emancipation Group, and the equally vile Gentlemen With An Interesting Name. These organizations existed for the sole purpose of promoting a change of the laws, rather like a PAC for perverts. Make it legal for adults to have sex with children was their cause. Highly unpopular, but what's to lose? People once thought homosexuals were vile and look how accepted they are today, so why not pedophiles? Men just want to have fun, after all.
British police had infiltrated the group, and when they finally closed in on O'Carroll and his co-conspirator Michael Studdart, they discovered a cache of kiddie porn that had taken fifty years to amass. It is said to be one of the largest collections of filth, kept behind a bathroom wall in Surrey.
One can imagine the two arguing in court, complaining about being tried for their views of proper sexual conduct, playing the victims. Judge Roger Chapple had none of it, according to reports. He tried them both for possessing, manufacturing and distributing child pornography, and the defendants could whinge about discrimination all they wanted, but they had broken the law.
And so, the former teacher and the son of the Archdeacon of Surrey are now registered sex offenders, but their attempt to normalize their sick perversions will no doubt continue. They can turn to their fellow travellers and play the victim card in a search for sympathy, but Judge Chapple rightly recognized that the true victims in the case were the little boys in the photographs.
