A man was arrested after he allegedly broke into a suburban Philadelphia apartment and raped a 6-year-old girl who was sleeping in her bedroom. Oscar Rivera Herrera, 28, is charged with rape, rape of a child, statutory sexual assault, sexual assault, indecent assault, burglary, criminal trespass, terroristic threats and simple assault --snip-- "He's a really great father," Dutter said. "That's what blows my mind. He has a kid of his own that same age. How could he do something like that?"

Do genetics determine morality? A major argument of the homosexual lobby is that same-sex attraction is genetically determined—that people are born homosexual. Because that is the case, the argument follows, then if you say homosexuality is wrong, you are as hateful and bigoted as if you were condemning someone for their skin color. Homosexual activists decry any effort to change someone’s sexual orientation as morally reprehensible (reprehensible, that is, if it is a change toward heterosexuality—I have never heard them argue that it would be wrong to persuade a heterosexual to become homosexual). After all, how can you try to...

If there was any doubt in any sane person’s mind about Jared Fogle, the following will erase it. As disgusting as it is, I think it’s important to bear witness. It’s important not to turn a blind eye. When he makes his inevitable rehabilitation tour, we need to remind him who and what he is. Bob Fredericks, NY Post: Disgraced Subway pitchman Jared Fogle was caught on secretly recorded audio tapes boasting of his sick attraction to children — and said he wanted to travel “across the world” to fulfill his desires. “I would fly us clear across the world...

With his jaw screwed in place after what authorities said was a jailhouse beating, a Deerfield Beach man admitted Tuesday that he traveled to Palm Beach County to have sex with what he thought were a woman and two girls who would become his "incest family." Aron Fink, 43, was arrested in a law enforcement sting in August after communicating online with an undercover police officer he believed was a mother who would let him inflict what he called his "kinky, perverted" desires on her children. Fink had a surgical plate attached to his left jawbone by screws but no...

Why are they shocked? To Hazaa Said even a 3-month old baby would do. Islam puts no restrictions on pedophilia at all. And there is no age restriction either. An adult Muslim male can engage in “thighing” or Mufaakhathat, the masturbating between the legs of a female infant or actually sodomizing her, on babies and children who are too small to be penetrated. On the contrary, the Muslim male is free to abuse and exploit anything and anyone. Only admissible homosexuality is punishable but even there Muslims have found a way around it by claiming that if you’re the “top”...

I've been informed that I might be in trouble. During a tutorial yesterday, I was asked a question regarding Islam. I answered it correctly. I elaborated a bit and correctly stated that Mohammed's third wife was 7 when he married her and he was 50. I then correctly stated that under British law this would be considered paedophilia, as our law states that one has to be 16 with parental consent to get married and if a man married a 7 year-old he'd be arrested as a paedophile. I'm told that I've now offended Mohammed and apparently I might be...

Södersjukhuset already runs a round-the-clock walk-in clinic for women and girls who have been sexually assaulted in the city, treating between 600 and 700 patients a year. Now, the hospital, which hosts the largest emergency care unit in the Nordic region, is opening its doors to men and boys who are victims of rape and sex attacks. "We are happy that we now can finally open the first rape clinic for men following the rape clinic for women," Rasmus Jonlund, a press spokesperson for the Liberal Party, which led the campaign for the department in the Swedish capital, told The...

Former governor Martin O'Malley's presidential campaign severed ties with the chair of his election effort in Virginia this week after the man was arrested on child pornography charges. Michael C. Teegarden, 51, faces two counts of felony possession of child pornography, charges brought by the Hanover County Sheriff's Office. Authorities said they got a tip that a computer at Teegarden's home in the suburbs north of Richmond was being used to trade illicit images online. On Twitter, Teegarden's identified himself as "O'Malley for President 2016, Virginia Chair. Relatively hip dad." He actively tweeted about the campaign. Hanover County Sheriff's officials...

A Mayo man who was previously convicted for abusing his neighbour's two daughters has been jailed for eight years for the rape and sexual abuse of the same neighbour's son.The victim, Padraig Hoban, returned from Australia to attend his abuser John Gannon's trial and sentencing.Speaking outside the Central Criminal Court today with his parents and sister by his side, Mr Hoban said he was now considering remaining in Ireland, as “there's no reason to run away anymore”.Gannon (71) formerly of Bohea, Co Mayo had pleaded not guilty to one count of indecent assault, seven counts of sexual assault, four counts...

Around the world, Christians are targeted for persecution and martyrdom, something that is developing even in the United States. But even as church leaders increasingly are on guard against threats of murderous violence, experts warn they may be ignoring a far more common threat – sexual assault against congregants. “Sexual assaults taking place on church property is an epidemic in our nation,” Carl Gallups told WND. “The reasons for it are numerous (and sometimes complex), but the main problem is that most churches have an abysmal lack of adequate security measures. While many churches are concerned about the growing trend...

(IMAGES/SCREENSHOTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE LINK. COULDN'T POST THEM HERE) Well, Todd Nickerson the pedophile has responded to the “right wing vile” backlash he got for coming out to the world as someone who’s sexually attracted to children. Sorry I’m not sorry. If you’re sexually attracted to children, you’re a sick bastard. And not one for whom I have much, shall we say “tolerance”? He called me out by name..ish: Then there’s Alex Crowder’s lunacy by way of Alex Jones: No, Salon.com, I Don’t Need to ‘Understand’ the Plight of Pedophiles. Again, the implication in the very title is that...

Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, particularly among armed commanders who dominate much of the rural landscape and can bully the population. The practice is called bacha bazi, literally "boy play," and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene — in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records. The policy has endured as American forces have recruited and organized Afghan militias to help hold territory against the Taliban. But soldiers and Marines have been increasingly troubled that instead...

We recently learned that Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland had his appeal denied by the Army as he seeks to prevent his forced discharge from the service. The chain of events stems from his participation in the beating of a pedophile Afghan local police official who had chained a local boy to his bed and repeatedly raped him. (I’m skipping the “alleged” here since the official confessed to holding the boy captive.) Now, with the date of his discharge rapidly approaching, Martland has found an ally in one California congressman and is taking his side of the story public....

Salon.com recently posted an article on their website titled, "I'm a pedophile, but not a monster." It included the byline "I'm attracted to children but unwilling to act on it. Before judging me harshly, would you be willing to listen?" Todd Nickerson is the author and yes, he honestly and openly admits to being a pedophile. "My name is Todd Nickerson, and I'm a pedophile," he wrote. "Does that surprise you? Yeah, not many of us are willing to share our story, for good reason. To confess a sexual attraction to children is to lay claim to the most reviled...

NEW YORK -- Pope Francis praised American bishops Wednesday for their "generous commitment'" to helping victims of clergy sex abuse, drawing an angry rebuke from advocates who said the bishops acted only under the threat of hundreds of lawsuits. Addressing church leaders in a prayer service at the Washington cathedral, Francis said they had faced the crisis "without fear of self-criticism and at the cost of mortification and great sacrifice."

Is there such a thing as a virtuous pedophile? That’s the claim made in a piece published Monday by Salon. But it’s worth asking just how virtuous the author really is. This Salon think-piece by self-described pedophile Todd Nickerson is written in the form of a redemption story, except Nickerson swears up front he has never done anything at all needing redemption. To confess a sexual attraction to children is to lay claim to the most reviled status on the planet, one that effectively ends any chance you have of living a normal life. Yet, I’m not the monster you...

Is Pedophilia Next? MICHAEL BROWN The same arguments about 'born this way' could be used to support pedophilia. A shocking article posted on the salon.com website has many people asking, "Now that we have embraced homosexuality, is pedophilia next?" The article, written by Todd Nickerson, was titled "I'm a pedophile, but not a monster," with the subtitle reading, "I'm attracted to children but unwilling to act on it. Before judging me harshly, would you be willing to listen?" http://www.salon.com/2015/09/21/im_a_pedophile_but_not_a_monster/ Nickerson even points to a website called Virtuous Pedophiles which states, "The goals of our organization are to reduce the stigma...

In 2003, Senator Rick Santorum was widely criticized for making a slippery slope argument about what can happen to a society and country once we turn away from Biblical morality. A mere 12 years later the former-Senator’s prediction has come tragically true. It is only Tuesday and yet already this week Salon has published a lengthy article written by a pedophile asking for our understanding. Although he claims to have never acted on his impulses (but spent years in a chat room with those who have), the entire piece condemns society — you and I — as bigots for ostracizing...

EXCLUSIVE: Even as the U.S. military denies reports that American troops were told to ignore Afghan child abusers, an 11-year Green Beret who was ordered discharged after he confronted an alleged rapist was informed Tuesday that the Army has denied his appeal. Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland earlier this year was ordered discharged by Nov. 1. He has been fighting to stay in, but in an initial decision, the U.S. Army Human Resources Command told Martland that his appeal “does not meet the criteria” for an appeal. “Consequently, your request for an appeal and continued service is disapproved,” the office...

Reports claim possible sexual abuse by Afghan commanders The Defense Department is facing mounting criticism for its handling of child abuse allegations involving Afghan commanders, including revived claims that U.S. soldiers were instructed to look the other way when Afghan troops and officers were sexually abusing boys. As first reported by Fox News, the Army is under scrutiny for moving to kick out Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland, after he got in trouble for shoving an Afghan police commander accused of raping a boy. This was followed by The New York Times reporting Monday that American soldiers were...
