PIE was first set up in 1974 in Edinburgh by Ian Campbell Dunn and Michael Hanson whom the Sunday Times correctly described as "gay rights leaders".<ref> Marcello Mega, ‘Paedophile list set up by gay rights leader’, Sunday Times, July 6th, 1997)</ref>. In 1975 it relocated from Edinburgh to London, and Keith Hose became its chairman.

Among secret members later exposed were Sir Peter Hayman, former British High Commissioner to Canada.

Stephen Smith who was at one time chairman of PIE, worked as a machine supervisor at the UK Home Office where he used their office equipment to print PIE newsletters and magazines. He also used his work contact details as the official address and telephone number of PIE. So the organisation could be said to be well inside the British Establishment.

==History of Campaigning==

PIE issued their own periodicals one being ''The Magpie'' in which members argued their case i.e. there was no harm in pedophilia, society was stupid, the laws were oppressive and abolishing the age of consent was "progress".

In 1983, PIE members marched in the annual London Gay Pride March, a fact reported with jubilation in the LGBT magazine CAPITAL GAY, by Eric Presland, another homo/pedophile. <ref> CAPITAL GAY (July 15th, 1983)</ref>. They were led by Leo Adamson, a campaigner of GYM (Gay Youth Movement), who spoke on behalf of PIE at GYM's annual conference and in  July 1983 represented PIE at the ILGA conference in Vienna.

In 1981 Tom O’Carroll, chair of PIE from 1977 to 1979, was charged with  ‘conspiracy to corrupt public morals’ because the contact advertisements section of Magpie ran invitations from adults seeking children for sex. He was convicted and imprisoned.  

In 1981 Tom O’Carroll, chair of PIE from 1977 to 1979, was charged with  ‘conspiracy to corrupt public morals’ because the contact advertisements section of Magpie ran invitations from adults seeking children for sex, or offers of child pornography. He was convicted and imprisoned. This was the first of his three criminal convictions.

In 1982 Charles Oxley, a [[Christian]] campaigner, infiltrated PIE under the name of David Charlton and then sent his findings to the press <ref> Daily Star. ‘Child Sex Spy Tells All’ 21 August 1982.</ref>

Steps were taken against PIE by the MP Geoffrey Dickens and there was a newspaper campaign against it.

Righton (a.k.a. Paul Pelham) was an adviser to the UK government on child protection, and Director of Education at the National Institute for Social Work. He founded New Barns School, a school for emotionally disturbed children, which he undoubtedly used to get access to boys. He was convicted of possessing and supplying child pornography in 1992. [See entry on [[Peter Righton]] for further information.] 

In 1984 it officially disbanded.

Charles Napier, the treasurer of the Paedophile Information Exchange, was a homosexual, “gay” activist, and teacher. In 1972 he was convicted of molesting a boy. He was allowed to work again only because he got a report from Peter Righton, his friend who was then Head of Education in England, saying that Napier was not a risk to children. In 1978, Napier went to teach in Sweden, where he corresponded with Righton about the availability of boys there. Righton visited him there so they could hunt boys together. Napier then became an English teacher in Cairo, where the laws on abusing boys were less strictly enforced. He traveled in Turkey and boasted of sending child [[pornography]] videos to England in diplomatic bags. By 1995, Napier had returned to England and was teaching at a school in Somerset. There he invited a boy aged 14 to his home where he indecently assaulted him, leading to a criminal conviction. Police searching his home found a huge collection of his correspondence with other pederasts such as Righton. The correspondence revealed that Righton and Napier, together with their PIE friends, planned a network of pederast schools, national and international, where their activities could go on undetected, and for many years they were successful. Napier was sentenced to 15 months in prison for a rape committed in the 1980s.

A 1994 documentary explored Righton’s links with Napier and showed film of the two with young boys in Sweden. The Metropolitan police investigation into their network was called Operation Fairbank. <ref>http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/vip-child-abuse-ring-cops-1713969#ixzz3AsB5ae5N

Most members of PIE were not prosecuted for many years after the network officially closed.

Stephen Smith (alias Stephen Freeman) fled to Holland in 1984 to escape trial on child pornography charges, but was extradited in 1991 and was jailed for 18 months. He admitted publishing an obscene magazine and sending it through the post in 1982. He also faced charges of molesting a 10-year-old boy. Smith was defended by Adrian Fulford, a barrister who later became a QC and then Britain's first openly [[homosexual]] judge. There was no proof that Fulford was ever a member of PIE but he regularly acted as its defence lawyers in prosecutions.

Smith was convicted again on even more heinous child pornography charges in 2011. There was a huge cache of very disturbing material obtained by abusing actual children. <ref>‘Ex-paedophile group leader Freeman jailed over child rape drawings’, BBC News, 15 July, 2011</ref>.

 

Charles Napier, the treasurer, was jailed in 1995 for molesting a boy in the 1980s and got 15 months in prison.

Michael Ingram was a serial abuser of boys who was finally convicted in 2000, but committed suicide before being sentenced.

 

Warren Middleton was finally jailed in 2011, alongside Steven Adrian Smith, Barry Cutler, John Morrison and Leo Adamson- all for offences relating to child abuse images.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although PIE officially disbanded in 1984 its members have continued campaigning regardless. In 1986 Warren Middleton edited a pro-pedophile  book entitled ''Betrayal of Youth'' (acronym BOY) with chapters contributed by [[Peter Tatchell]] and several official members of PIE. It advocates abolition of all age-of-consent laws and defended incest.<ref>http://www.matthewhopkinsnews.com/SharedPublic/BetrayalOfYouthTatchell.pdf</ref>

Kenneth Plummer, PIE member number 236, a regular correspondent of Righton, was Emeritus Professor of sociology at Essex University. He was one of the contributors to the book ''Perspectives on Paedophilia'', ed. Brian Taylor (1981), written and produced almost entirely by homosexuals. In 1990 he contributed a chapter to a book that used polysyllabic sociological terminology to apologize for pederasty, ''Male Intergenerational Intimacy''.<ref> Male Intergenerational Intimacy: Historical, Socio-Psychological and Legal, edited by Alex Van Naerssen, ‎Theo Sandfort and A. X. van Naerssen, 1990 rpt 2013 ISBN 1317992067 </ref>

Prof. Plummer writes a blog that makes it very clear that his interest in the subject is not merely academic. He has admitted to the Sunday Telegraph that he was once a paid-up member of P.I.E. but claims this was just to facilitate his research. Plummer has written “By applying sociology to the field of paedophilia we may partially relativise it, humanise it, normalise it, and politicise it.” (1)
