Pedophile advocacy groups
Pedophile advocacy groups (alternatively spelled paedophile advocacy groups) are organizations that advocate for the abolition or lowering of the age of consent and the normalization of adult sexual relations with children. Such groups have existed dating back to 1962 in multiple countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands.
In the 20th century, many pro-pedophile groups were founded during the Sexual Revolution. In the United States, pro-pedophile groups such as the Rene Guyon Society have existed since the 1960s. In Britain, the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), led by Tom O'Carroll, has operated from 1974 to 1984 and openly collaborated with other political organizations such as the Albany Trust and the NCCL. In France, many intellectuals sought to lower the age of consent during the 1970s. The Netherlands was once seen as one of the main centers of pedophile activism.
In the United States, pro-pedophile groups have often been inspired by their European counterparts, with some being transitory in nature and emerging in wake of criminal cases, and others being more long-lived. Some of these organizations have been investigated by law-enforcement agencies, with illegal seizures of evidence, arrests and incarcerations of their leaders taking place. Some members of these groups have used pseudonyms to hide their identities.
The Rene Guyon Society was the first pro-pedophile organization to be founded in the United States. The group was established in 1962 by seven people who had attended a conference by French jurist and pro-adult-child sex advocate René Guyon (1876–1963). During a 1977 subcommittee on select education, the organization's leader said that the group had 5,000 members nationwide. In 1971, the California-based Childhood Sensuality Circle was founded with the intent of advocating for sexual activities between adults and children. In 1978, the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) was founded following a police operation in Massachusetts.
The Paedophile Action for Liberation (PAL) was the first pedophile advocacy group founded in Britain. Moreover, the British Pedophile Information Exchange (PIE) was established in 1974 and openly collaborated with political organizations such as the Albany Trust and the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL). PIE was affiliated with the NCCL from late 1970's to the early 1980s.
From August to September 1977, news articles were published on the daily denouncing PIE and its leader Tom O'Carroll. The organization remained notorious in the British press until the 1980s. In 1984, PIE was dissolved after its leaders were prosecuted for conspiracy to corrupt public morals.
The Netherlands was once seen as one of the main centers of the pedophile movement. In 1971, the country had seen a federated network of pro-pedophile groups working in the Dutch Society for Sexual Reform. During the 1960s, Dutch Labour Party senator Edward Brongersma and Frits Bernard founded a pro-pedophile group.
In 1982, Vereniging Martijn was founded and further sought to participate in political discussions on the topic of pedophilia.
