Terry
Grange, the leading officer on child protection of the
UK's Association of Chief Police Officers' has ignited
controversy by commenting in an interview with The
Sunday Times that pornography featuring children
at 13 years of age should not be considered child porn.
Grange also said that the term "pedophiles"
should only apply to adults who have sex with 12 and
under.
Grange's
comments match those of the pedophilia party launched
recently, with court approval, in the Netherlands. The
'Charity, Freedom and Diversity' (NVD) party of the
Netherlands formed last Spring introduced itself to
Dutch politics as a champion of children's rights. In
a press release, the NVD's spokesman and co-founder,
Ad van den Berg said among their goals is lowering the
age of consent for sexual activity from 16 to 12 and
eventually eliminating it completely. (see coverage:

)
Grange
told the Sunday Times: "Child porn is 12 and under."
On pedophilia he said: "For me, that sort of thing,
paedophilia, is [with] prepubescent children."
In
the UK where the age of consent for sexual activity
is 16, Grange says, "It is much more of an issue
for me if a child is under 13. I think the closer they
get to 16 the more it becomes a grey area and I think
everyone in the field of dealing with sexual health
and sexual activity acknowledges that."
He
added: "I don't actually personally adhere to the
15-year-old being with a 20-year-old boyfriend being
paedophilia, or even if the boyfriend is 30."
The
ACPO incident is the latest in the ongoing normalization
of pedophilia, which has picked up steam since homosexual
'marriage' has been mainstreamed.
In
comments this weekend, Romeo and Juliet director Franco
Zeffirelli made positive remarks about homosexual sexual
contact with young boys. In the context of noting that
as a boy he was sexually abused by a priest, Zeffirelli
said, "(Homosexual experiences) are not always
bad for boys. I don't think they make you homosexual.
Sexual choice is made for you early on in life anyway
- if you like girls, you like girls."
LifeSiteNews.com
reported in June on a poll which found 11% of Canadians
did not consider pedophilia immoral. (http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/jun/06061204.html
)
In
2001, leading Canadian film-makers were promoting the
pedophiliac film Fat Girl which featured nude scenes
with a thirteen year old. And in 2004 Nicole Kidman
starred in the movie Birth which included a scene which
made it appear as if she bathed in the nude with a boy
of 10 with whom she was sexually interested.
Also
in 2004, Glasgow University awarded a student a doctoral
degree for his thesis defending pedophilia. (http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/dec/04120306.html)
