Organizations

This directory at the current time belongs more to "history of pedophile movement" than to the actual movement.

Its purpose was to collect information about various organizations - pedophile organizations, organizations with pedophile subgroups, and some others related in some way with the question - initially it was planed to include here anti-pedo groups too. I have not much intention to update this, but leave it as it is - more for historical interest. Don't rely on the information below!

Childhood Sensuality Circle (CSC)

San Diego, California

"The Childhood Sensuality Circle was formed in San Diego in 1971 by a student of Wilhelm Reich's and has also advocated for the abolishment of consent laws." (O'Donohue, William. 1992. Definitional and ethical issues in child sexual abuse. In The Sexual Abuse of Children: Theory and Research, Volume 1. Eds. William O'Donohue and James H. Geer. Hillsdale, New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. p. 27)

This is basically true. CSC closed down in the mid-1980s, when Valida Davila became too frail to continue with it. (personal e-mail)

Gruppo P

Italy

This is Francesco Vallini's group. Despite its legitmate status, Vallini spent three years in prison for running a criminal association. Despite this, the well-established gay magazine Babilonia continues to employ Vallini, and to support his ideas, although Gruppo P as such may be no more. (private e-mail)

Paedophile Action for Liberation (PAL)

England

PAL was founded in 1974, within the South London Gay Liberation Front. It was very lively, but rather small and local. It held regular and none too dicreet meetings in a Brixton squat. It did not survive its first press expose and its remnants merged with PIE in 1976. (private e-mail)

and the Pedophiliacs Information Society, which advocates intergenerational sex at even younger ages." (Janus, Samuel S., and Cynthia L. Janus. 1993. The Janus Report on Sexual Behavior. New York: John Wiley & Sons. p. 129)

Never heard of it. Sounds like a garbled reference to PIE, which had about 100 members in the USA by the time it closed down. (private e-mail)
