Thomas O'Carroll

Thomas Victor O'Carroll[1] (born c. 1945[2]) is an Irish journalist and advocate for Minor Attracted People, being a founding member of both the now defunct Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and Ipce.

Born in County Carlow, Ireland[3], O'Carroll gained notoriety in 1980 when he published Paedophilia: The Radical Case, a book that articulated an ethical case for adult-child sexual relationships, and again in 2010, with Michael Jackson's Dangerous Liaisons.[4]

Run-ins with the law

In 1981 he was convicted for the political crime of "conspiracy to corrupt public morals" over the contact ads section of the PIE magazine and was imprisoned, and once again in 2002 on charges of evading a prohibition on the importation of indecent photographs of children stemming from nude photographs that O'Carroll had taken of children on the beaches of Qatar. At the time, he was working on a book about the musician and philanthropist Michael Jackson who was later acquitted of charges brought against him regarding indecent behavior towards a child.

Later, O'Carroll was arrested once more on suspicion of conspiring to distribute indecent photographs of children after supplying an undercover Met police officer who infiltrated the pedophile advocacy groups with a cache of child pornography obtained from his co defendant, Michael John De Clare Studdert's collection. He was arraigned 1 June, 2006 on child porn charges.[2][5] In September 2006, he admitted to two counts of distributing indecent images of children.[2]

On December 20 2006, he was jailed for 2½ years at London’s Middlesex Crown Court,[6][3] but was released in the summer of 2007.
