Pedophile Information Exchange

The Pedophile [Paedophile] Information Exchange was an organization set up in the UK in 1974 to campaign to legalize and normalize pedophilia. Its members were almost all homosexual and were members of leading homosexual rights groups, such as Campaign for Homosexual Equality which fostered and encouraged them. This taken with the similar evidence from pedophile groups all over the world including NAMBLA in the USA provides notable evidence of the links between homosexuality and pedophilia.

Origins

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".. In 1975 it relocated from Edinburgh to London, and Keith Hose became its chairman. PIE had a committee that changed regularly, Other members included Barry Cutler, David Joy, Peter Bremner, and Lee Edwards, all male homosexuals.

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

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". Another of their journals was called "Minor Problems".

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. . 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.

Prosecutions of Members

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 1982 Charles Oxley, a Christian campaigner, infiltrated PIE under the name of David Charlton and then sent his findings to the press

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 for possessing and supplying child pornography in 1992. [See entry on Peter Righton for further information.]

Charles Napier, treasurer of the Paedophile Information Exchange, was a homosexual, “gay” activist, and teacher. In 1972 he was convicted for 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.

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. 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)

Demise of PIE

As a result of this and follow-up stories in such scandal sheets as the STAR and the SUN, committee members Mike Williams and Richard Travell lost their voluntary work as a scoutmaster and Sunday School teacher respectively.

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.
