He was probably a paedophile!

An accompanying article to the film ‘The Devil Amongst Us’ (1998), which appeared in the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’, there is a report of a man who was said to have enjoyed having sex with men as a child.

During my research I met Neil, a gay man now aged 40, who enjoyed having sex with adult men from the age of nine.

“It seems to be politically correct, even within the gay movement, to be anti-paedophile. But when I ask gay male friends when they first had sex they say, ‘Oh, ten, 11, 12, with a bloke down the road who was 22.’ He was probably a paedophile!”
