The BBC obtained a personal record of over 300 individuals connected to the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE), a party that publicly supported the legislation of sex with children in the 1970s. A small number of people on the list may still have touch with children through paid or volunteer jobs, according to studies.
But, it has not been established whether any of them have abused anyone.
The record, spanning several hundred typed sites, includes 316 names —almost all men—alongside their names. While the majority of those listed were primarily based in the UK, the report even contained information on people from different regions of Western Europe, Australia, and the United States.
What was Paedophile Information Exchange?
In 1974, during a period of significant social change, the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE ) was founded. Its leaders attempted to connect their cause with female, anti-racist, and lesbian rights movements.
Membership in the organization was not prohibited, and it was only$ 4 per year and included a subscription to its magazine.
Dish representatives officially supported the idea that children as young as four may consent to sexual relationships over the course of ten years.
Despite the public awareness of its rulers, the names of rank-and-file users were kept secret.
Are any of the individuals involved with children?
None of the people who may also work with children have had any criminal convictions, which suggests they may have gone through extensive background investigations when applying for jobs.
These people are a larger group of almost 70 people who have been listed as having engaged in activities that might include having contact with juveniles, according to BBC.
This group consists of half of teachers, with job addresses inserted next to some names. The remaining people include social workers, activities coaches, youth workers, doctors, priests, lay preachers, and military officials involved in youth activities.
