January

  • Starting around January 22 and continuing into February, Free Spirits was subjected to a number of DDoS attacks. So far, no person or group has come forward to take credit for these attacks.
  • January 22, the vicious heterosexual murderer Sarah Sands had her sentence increased to seven-and-a-half years from her original three-and-a-half year prison sentence for stabbing eight times the 77-year-old boylover Michael Pleasted on the 28th of November, 2014, killing him in cold blood. The British court ruled that her original sentence was “unduly lenient”.[4]
  • January 28 - In what Police are calling Operation Malaise, 13 people throughout Quebec and in Toronto were arrested, who they described as a pedophile ring, on trumped-up charges steming from "allegedly exchanging advice on ways to sexually abuse children without raising suspicion", simply for their association in real life and in internet support forums.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

February

  • February 8 - President Barack Obama signed H.R. 515, known as the International Megan's Law‎, into law.[13] [14]

Tom O'Carroll, 70, former chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), who once called for the abolition of age-of-consent laws in the UK, was suspended from Labour party in a move that appears to be an attempt to embarrass and destabilize the current leadership of the Labour Party by associating the party leader (Jeremy Corbyn) with Mr O'Carroll. [17][18]
  • February 18 - A Quebec superior court judge ruled that Les Amis de Toutes les Minorités Sexuelles (LATMS), a non-profit organization whose website offered services to sexual minorities including pedophiles in Canada, should not legally be allowed to operate in the province, citing that LATMS promoted "the idea that their sexual orientation is normal and worthy of respect.”[19]

March

  • March 30 - The Injunction to stop implementation of the International Megan's Law was heard in federal court in California before U.S. District Court Judge Phyllis Hamilton. No decision was reached and Hamilton did not indicate how or when she expects to rule.[21] [22]
