this story has been kicking about for the past couple of days here in the UK. People have been comming out of the woodwork to support him. Many are saying that the fact that he was writing a book on pedophila - based on his own abuse as a child - was well known. He says that he had contacted the police and registered the fact that he was doing research. No one has come out to deny that.


I am inclined to belive him at the moment. The newspapers over here are so worked up about pedophiles at every given moment that they have him tried and convicted already. The same papers that encouraged people to take action into their own hands and then acted suprised when a pediatrician was attack at his home because the education of their readers is at such a level that they didn't know the difference between a pediatrician or a pedophile.

So, lets wait to see if any charges are even made. The man came out on his own rather than letting the papers guess and if he did register his research with police then perhaps his only real crime is being foolish enough to use a credit card with his real name.
