According to Eric Crozier, Britten's librettist for ''Albert Herring'', Britten was seduced or raped as a boy by a master at his private school, and was thereafter "under a compulsion to corrupt other small boys." <ref>

Britten is said by contemporaries to have had links with the infamous Kray gangsters, who operated protection rackets and a pimping business supplying boys to homosexuals in London and elsewhere. It is beyond doubt that Britten's friends had such links. The police uncovered a large-scale juvenile pimping operation centered on a house owned by Ronnie Kray in the Suffolk village of Tattingstone near Ipswich. This house was fairly close to where Britten and Righton lived. Some of the boys were obtained via a close friend of Benjamin Britten's in London, who named him as one of the beneficiaries of the 'service'. This Kray pimping business is alleged to be connected with the unsolved murder of Bernard Oliver, a teenager from London, whose body was found in Tattingstone in January 1967. <ref>http://listserv.bccls.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9709E&L=OPERA-L&P=58232</ref>

Britten lived with a long-term partner, the singer Peter Pears, who was also homosexual, but like most such relationships it was not sexually exclusive. One biographer has even alleged that Britten caught syphilis from Pears, who had many other contacts. while the syphilis is only an allegation, strongly denied by doctors, the promiscuity is an accepted fact. <ref> Paul Kildea, ''Benjamin Britten: A life in the Twentieth Century,'' pub. Allen Lane, London 2013.</ref> Pears seems to have shared Britten's taste for boys, making them into a classic example of homosexual pedophile partnerships. In a TV program produced by John Bridcut and broadcast in 2013, colleagues remember how Britten and Pears both got in a lather of erotic excitement about the boy singers while working on his opera ''Death in Venice'', a story he chose for its homoerotic pederastic theme.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03hj038 </ref>

[[Tom O’Carroll]], the [[PIE]] member and veteran convicted pedophile, has boasted about Benjamin Britten’s known involvement with established pedophile networks in England. According to O'Carroll, Peter Pears confided to a friend that while they lived together, Britten was having relations with boys. He may have indulged while abroad as “He spent a lot of time in the East, touring in, notably, India, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Ceylon.” O’Carroll categorizes Britten as “hebephile” rather than a “pedophile”. <ref>https://tomocarroll.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/benjamin-britten-both-gay-and-a-boy-lover/</ref>
