I hesitate to call this a “comeback” because Roman Polanski, like Woody Allen, never really went away. In Polanski’s case, we know he had sex with a 13-year-old because he pled guilty to doing so in 1977 and later wrote about sleeping with teenage girls in his autobiography. And yet, even with admissions of guilt, and …
On Saturday, Milo Yiannopoulos was invited to the Conservative Political Action Conference as a keynote speaker. By Monday he was disinvited.
Pope Francis was criticized this summer for waffling on plans to put child abusers on trial within the Catholic Church, as well as those who facilitated abuse with cover ups. Instead, he strengthened the rules agains sexually abusing children that already existed, which he reminded bishops about one more time for the…
If you had asked me yesterday, “Hey, Joanna, is there anything ex-Subway spokes-dieter and convicted child pornography enthusiast Jared Fogle could do to make you think less of him?” I would say, “No, may I leave this focus group?”
Last weekend and through the week, Elijah Wood brought the issue of pedophilia in Hollywood into the spotlight again by talking about the prevalence and many victims of child predators. Expanding on that, former child actor Corey Feldman went into further grim detail and spoke directly about his own abuse in a recent…
The happiest place on earth (if you have $100 per person to participate) has just gotten a little safer. According to KTLA, a former employee who tried to trade tickets for sexual acts has just been sentenced to one year in jail and five years probation.
In Tyga’s new video for a song called “Stimulated”—no innuendo there—the petite rapper canoodles with his barely legal girlfriend Kylie Jenner over ad-libs like “She a big girl dog… I’m penetrating.” Help.
For the last seven years Puxton Park, a 50-acre family adventure park in North Somerset, England, complete with a farm, some slides, an electric tractor race course, and a Falconry Centre, has had a policy in place barring single people from entering the park so as to keep out potential pedophiles. And for seven…
"My name is Adam," the post read. "I'm 18 and non-exclusively attracted to boys and girls of all ages (particularly very young ones). I am the leader of a support group for non-offending pedophiles around my age… I would be very happy to talk with you."
Happy Ash Wednesday! Pope Francis, previously deemed the saving grace of the modern Catholic Church, is proving once and for all that you can't get rid of thousands of years inadequacy with one complex man.
The list of sordid products available to internet shoppers may be slightly shorter as of about 12 hours ago, when a Chinese site called DHgate apparently removed a "child-sized" sex doll from its listings.
Just as cool merchandise is to blame for the crime of shoplifting, so too are children to blame for the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of Catholic clergy for decades. At least, if you ask one influential Catholic archbishop.
New theory: Richard Dawkins is a hardcore evangelical Christian masquerading as an atheist to give non-believers a bad name. It's going well, because he recently said that "mild pedophilia" isn't too bad and we should all accept it as a natural part of growing up, like "mild rape" or "mild limb severance."
Author Alissa Nutting's debut novel Tampa, while it's been pegged as a beach read by places like Vulture, is hard to actually read on the beach because it has graphic descriptions of a 26-year-old woman having sex with a 14-year-old boy. It's a frankly stated examination of female predators and their depiction in the…
There were plenty of clues that BBC TV and radio presenter Sir Jimmy Savile, who died last year, sexually abused girls throughout the decades — and by "clues," we mean multiple allegations — but no one dared challenge the famously eccentric star. Now that a documentary about the scandal is about to air, the BBC says…
Multiple airlines reserve the right to force any man sitting next to an unaccompanied minor to switch seats with a woman. They say the policy is due to "parental concerns," but it's probably mostly due to the airline companies wanting to cover their asses; parents have sued airlines over child molestation incidents in…
A new Reddit hub, r/creepshots, celebrates the right to secretly snap photos of unsuspecting women — many of whom are obviously underage — and post them on the internet for all to see. Disgusting? Obviously. But it's also 100% legal.
A new Louisiana law — the first of its kind in the country — orders convicted sex offenders and child predators to publicly spell out their criminal status on social networking sites.
Before Facebook decides whether to allow kids 13 and younger to officially have their own (monitored) Facebook accounts, they should consider what's happened with the social networking app Skout, which has been used by at least three adults across the country to find and allegedly sexually assault minors in the past…
Horace Mann, one of New York City's most prestigious high schools, has an idyllic 18-acre campus in the Bronx, a hefty list of influential alumni including Robert Caro and Eliot Spitzer, and — according to this weekend's New York Times Magazine cover story — a long, secret history of sexual abuse.
