useful, if somewhat dated, overview of legal and penal aspects of
child-adult loving in Britain.  A balanced and informed survey of the
research literature concludes that children in a consenting
relationship usually have a positive and nurturing experience of great
value to them.  Categorically concludes that psychological damage
arises almost solely from the involvement of police, social workers

agenda-setting for social problems.  Chicago University Press.
Chicago, 1984.  (More useful than 'positive', this traces the
development in the USA of the multi-million dollar child-abuse
'diagnosis /therapy' industry, and its use as a political platform;
the effect of which is to distract resources from the relatively few
genuine cases of coercive and violent child abuse, brew up an ongoing
moral-panic which denies the reality that most children ha ve sexual
feelings and desires, and cause trauma and heartbreak to thousands of
children and adults in loving consenting relationships)

that of Nelson (1984, see above) but in a British context, and with

London.  Batsford, 1981.  (A scholarly review of the research

emotional or sexual aspects of the relationship)

approach.  Pittsburgh.  Dorrance, 1992.  ISBN 0 8059 3284 4.  (Forget
the 'radical christian' tag, this is an excellent rebuttal of all the

1981) (Many reprinted articles from various hard-to-find
radical/alternative/gay publications of the 1970s.)  (** On the
subject of 'consent', there is an excellent and useful overview of the
subject of children and 'consent' in Priscilla Anderson's 'Children's
Consent to Surgery' [Oxford University Press, 1994] which, according
to the newspaper reviews, conclud es that "...beyond any doubt, many
children, even young ones, can digest information and make decisions
about themselves and their bodies as well as most adults."  If her
findings become accepted, then we have a ready-made and authoritative
argument agai nst those who hold that children 'don't know what
they're getting into', and thus cannot legally consent to loving
intimate relationships with older people.

qualitative effect on the level of 'protection'.  Further research
suggests that middle-class social workers are primarily drawing on
their own moral attitudes to police the parenting practices of
working-class and ethnic minority families, and evidence of
'hostility' toward the social-worker meant that an investigation was
more likely to be pursued, regardless of evidence.)

Haugaard, J.  Sexually abused children's opposition to
psychotherapy.  Journal Of Sexual Abuse, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1992.
pp. 1-16.  (This appears in a hyper-'correct' journal with a hideously
negative attitude [where else would you find articles on 'satanic abuse networks' being taken seriously ?], but this is an interesting admission that many children who have been 'caught' in consenting relationships are often very resistant to their subsequent regime of 'therapy' -  a 'therapy' which medicalises the love they have experienced, denies the validity of their own feelings, and which tells them that their loved adult was 'bad'.  Of course, the author can't see children's resistance as evidence that many children in consenting relationships might not want psychotherapy, but rather he sees resistance as just a 'problem' to be overcome by more rigourous coercive practices)

the intruiging title 'The Four Little Girls', published circa 1970 in

<h3>FEATURE FILMS</h3>

(Mainstream, non-pornographic)

Broken Blossoms.  1919 (USA.  Dir. D.W. Griffiths.  A young
oriental man falls in love with a beautiful twelve-year-old waif,
played by Lillian Gish, and is heartbroken when she is murdered killed
by her sadistic father.  Available on video.  From the n ovel
Limehouse Nights, available from the US Ophelia Editions address)

Madchen in Uniform.  1931 (Germany.  Dir. Leonitine Sagan.  Moving
melodrama about a schoolgirl's affair with a female teacher.  Still
much acclaimed today, and available on video.  Banned by the Nazi's,
which is all the more reason to see it)

Pennies From Heaven 1936.  (USA.  8-year-old orphan Edith Fellows
falls in love with Bing Crosby, a singing ex-convict who she meets in
fairground.  An antique mix of comedy, melodrama and musical, but
still enjoyable, although the problems caused by of ficialdom are
eventually ironed out by marriage and adoption)

Major And The Minor.  1942.  (USA.  The 'Lolita' of the 1940s.
Comedy)

The Curse of the Cat People.  1944.  (USA.  Dir. Gunther von
Fritsch.  Sequel to the eerie 'Cat People', this stars the
six-year-old Ann Carter as a lonely sensitive girl who summons up the
ghost of the first 'human cat', Simone Simon, in what seems to b ecome
a lightly disguised allegory of inter-generational 'forbidden' love,
complete with 'good' child-lover and 'bad' child-hater conflict at the
end.  You may 'read' it as just a good creepy psychological ghost
story, but it is certainly very open to in terpretation.  It helps if
you've also seen the original 'Cat People', but see 'Curse...' anyway
and judge for yourself.  Available on video)

Portrait of Jennie.  1948.  (US.  An etherial romance between two
generations; a struggling New York painter and a mysterious little
girl he falls in love with in Central Park, and whose age moves from
childhood to womanhood as the film progresses.  Char mingly handled
with expert direction, photography and acting all round, and a lyrical
score taken from Debussy's 'Afternoon of a Faun'.  Based on the novel

Esser, Andre Gould, Bo Huston, Rudi van Dantzig, and Wallace Hamilton)
in the Gay Men's Press catalogue: PÖ. Box 247, LONDON N15 6RW.  If
GMP don't stock particular books or authors, you could try putting a
classified advert in Gay T imes or the Pink Paper.  For a useful
bibliography of more mainstream fiction, see also: Cueso, Allan.

If you want to venture overseas for English-language fiction, you
can also order a host of man-boy fiction (rather trashy-looking stuff
like the Acolyte Reader and similar, it must be said) from the
Intermale and Prinz Eisenhart addresses via their mail- order
catalogues from the Prinz Eisenherz and Intermale bookshops - for
addresses see the 'European groups' section.

Fiction of interest to girl-lovers can be obtained from the
ever-wonderful Ophelia Editions, PO Box 2377, New York, New York,

price-list.  They also do a limited selection of academic books and
expensive art-photographic books.  If you are regularly
buying/subscribing mail-order from USA, you might like to ask your
bank about opening a dollar cheque account so you can sent cheques at
a cheaper rate than bank's expensive 'money-orders'.  It is also more private as you don't have to declare who you want a money-order made payable to.  The same goes for Europe and eurocheques)

<h3>LEGAL REPRESENTATION</h3>

Only about 10 % of child-adult relationship/sex allegations are
brought to court in Britain (Guardian 03.02.94), and most defendents
in non-violent cases are granted bail.  Of cases brought to court
about 80% result in a conviction (usually because of a confession),
and of those only 10% are given a custodial prison sentence: and then
usually only in cases of incest, or in the repulsive cases where
coercion/force/violence has been used, or where an adult's position of
authority was misused.  However, if accused (even unjustly) in the
current climate of neo-puritan hysteria and zealous Kafka-esque
bureaucracy, it is vital to exercise your right-to-silence, and get
sympathetic independent legal represention.  Do not confide in the
legal solicitor's clerk s on 'duty' at police stations, as a recent
report revealed that they can be all too 'chummy' with the police -
just use them to 'back up' your right-to-silence and advise you on
further legal options.  Recommended solicitor: Simonetta Hornby, of
Hornby and Le vy, 2 Acre Lane, London SW2 5SG.  Obviously, you won't
mention where you found the contact details.  You would also be well
advised to relocate or destroy any incriminating collection, however
'innocent' it may appear.  If you have been, or fear you may be,
'exposed' in the tabloid newspapers ('News of the World', etc), your
first stop should be the Press Complaints Commission's Help Line: Tel,
071 353 3732.

<h3>SOME USEFUL ETHICAL GUIDELINES</h3>

 <ol>
 <li> A paedophile should not seek intimate contact with a child,
without first establishing a friendly relationship with the child, and
knowing and understanding the child's interests and feelings, and
establishing the extent to which his/her own feelings toward the child
are reciprocated.

 </li><li> A loving and affectionate friendship with a child should never
develop into any form of sexual intimacy without the child first fully
understanding and consenting to any sex play, including the social,
legal and medical implications of such an extension of the
relationship.

 </li><li> A child should never be treated as a sexual object to be enjoyed
at the whim of the paedophile.  No coercion, force or violence should
ever be used.

 </li><li> A paedophile should not provide his/her young friend with
alcohol, drugs, stimulants or pornography.  A paedophile should not
give frequent and/or expensive presents to his/her young friend.

 </li><li> A paedophile must be as honest and truthful as possible with
his/her young friend.

 </li><li> A paedophile should accept the child's right to end the
relationship at any time, or to curtail certain aspects of the
relationship.

 </li><li> A paedophile should not 'cruise' places such as fairgrounds or
parks in order to 'pick up' unknown children.

 </li><li> A paedophile should never take photographs/videos of his/her
young friend.

 </li><li> A paedophile should never introduce his/her young friend to
another paedophile with sexual intent, even if the child has expressed
an interest in doing so.

 </li><li> A paedophile should do everything possible to protect his/her
young friend from any harm; including embarrassment, distress or
exposure because of arrest.

 </li><li> A paedophile should guide and encourage his/her young friend to
avoid drugs and delinquency.  A paedophile should nurture and
encourage his/her young friend to develop educationally,
intellectually, artistically and emotionally.

<h3>LEGAL AGE OF SEXUAL CONSENT IN MORE ENLIGHTENED EUROPEAN COUNTRIES</h3>

(Most European countries do not have seperate legislation for
homosexual acts, but many have some sort of legislation against
'corruption of minors'.  Although intergenerational love is not
frowned upon in Thailand, the police can and do use laws framed for
'kidnapping' to prosecute/blackmail Westerners found in the company of
children)

Spain - 12; Holland - 12; Portugal - 12; Italy - 14; Austria - 14;
Leichtenstein - 14; Iceland - 14; Bulgaria - 14; Germany - 14; Hungary
- 14; Luxembourg - 14; Turkey - No age of consent; Malta - 12 years
(but there is also a charge of 'corruption of minors' which is in
use); San Marino - 14; Outside Europe: Canada - 14.  Japan - 13.

In Britain, the age of consent was only raised from 12 to 13 in
1875, and finally raised to 16 in 1885.  Incest was not made
deliniated as a seperate crime until 1908. "Paedophilia" was a medical
term first coined in 1906, although there is some evidence of earlier use of such terms as 'pedophil'.

Phew, well that's about as complete as I can make it.  I dare say
there's a few errors here and there, but on the whole I think this is
a fairly useful resource.  Feel free to make additions and corrections
and make further copies and pass on...
