Morgana, the problem comes in from your link's shoddy scholarship. Dr. Judith Reisman's study is inherently flawed.

“The research was an investigative analysis of PLAYBOY, PENTHOUSE and HUSTLER over the period of December 1953 to December 1984 to examine for nonviolent, violent, and criminal image portrayal and scenario involvement of children. The research reported the findings of 14,854 images of crime and violence and 6,004 images of children (with the predominate group being girls between ages 3 to 11 years) as part of the overall sexual and violent scenario. There were 989 sexual scenarios which included children actively involved with adults; and each magazine portrayed children as unharmed and/or benignly affected by the child/adult sex. For related volumes, see NCJ 107147-107149.” – Judith Reisman, PHD

There are serious problems with Reisman's numbers. During the period of Reisman's study:

Reisman reported that of a total of a possible 18,220 photographs published in the 30 year period, an extraordinary 14,854 (81.5%!) were found by Reisman to be images of "crime and violence" and 6,004 (33%!) of them to involve girls between 3 and 11 years of age in sexual encounters with adults! This doesn't pass the smell test!

Pick up any random Playboy. I doubt there will be a photograph of any children even in the advertising. It simply isn't there.

Reisman conflates those three magazines together in her "research" as if they were equal and reports that over the period in her study she found 989 images involving children in sexually compromising situations. I doubt I have even opened any of those magazines in the last twenty years but during the period in question, I did subscribe to Playboy from about 1970 to 1980, which Reisner consistently refers to as "Play Boy", showing her total lack of familiarity with the brand, and not ONCE was there an image of a child in a sexually compromising position, certainly none between 3 and 11, as Reisman claims in her "scholarly paper." However, Hustler Magazine—which published only from 1974 to 1984 during the period of Reisman's study—a sleazy hardcore pornographic magazine had a cartoon entitled "Chester the Molester" which featured children being molested by the title character, along with other cartoons featuring kiddie porn themes that probably totaled the entire number of images she used to blast the other two men's magazines.

Larry Flynt, Hustler's publisher was in court constantly for his smutty content. Hugh Hefner was not. Had Playboy published anything of the kind Reisner claims, Hefner would be languishing in prison.

Attack these magazines for what they did publish for what you don't agree with, and for their Liberal viewpoints, but don't swallow lies to make it worse. That only diminishes your position at best, and at worst destroys your argument when people know what you claim is not true.

Playboy Lost to Reisman!
Reisman Child Porn Study Defeats Playboy’s Dutch Libel Suit

In 1994, Playboy sued Dutch tv broadcaster EO to demand the retraction of statements by Dr. Reisman in one of their broadcasts. On air, Reisman essentially accused Playboy of producing child pornography, based on the study of three decades of its publications. Playboy ultimately lost the lawsuit.

On September 17, 1994, EO, a Dutch public broadcasting association, aired an episode of its news and current affairs tv series Tijdsein (EN: Time Signal), which featured a 20 minute section on sexual abuse in the United States. Judith Reisman was interviewed for this production, in particular concerning the results from her study for the Department of Justice. This research was sponsored by its Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Project No. 84-JN-AX-K007, and carried out from February 1984 to November 1985, with results published in 1987.

“The research was an investigative analysis of PLAYBOY, PENTHOUSE and HUSTLER over the period of December 1953 to December 1984 to examine for nonviolent, violent, and criminal image portrayal and scenario involvement of children. The research reported the findings of 14,854 images of crime and violence and 6,004 images of children (with the predominate group being girls between ages 3 to 11 years) as part of the overall sexual and violent scenario. There were 989 sexual scenarios which included children actively involved with adults; and each magazine portrayed children as unharmed and/or benignly affected by the child/adult sex.”

October 3, 1994, EO is subpoenaed by Playboy, demanding retractions be published in the next episode of Tijdsein, as well as printed in the broadcasting association’s tv guide. They charged unauthorized use of their brand and that Playboy had been “brought into the news by the EO in an unnecessarily hurtful and damaging way”, claiming they had “suffered considerable damage”. A hearing was held on October 11.

About EO
(Wikipedia; English)

“lies and slander” ... “Never is there an image of a child in the magazine.”
— Jan Heemskerk, Chief Editor for Playboy in The Netherlands

“I assume that, in America, Playboy has long been familiar with the views of Reisman. I would say to Mr. Heemskerk: turn to America.”
— Andries Knevel, EO Director of Programming

“Playboy never will sue me in the USA, since their deliberate child sex abuse methodology would be proven in a court of law.”
— Judith A. Reisman, PhD

Speaking of Dwaine Tinsley, creator of “Chester the Molester”.....

‘Chester the Molester’ Cartoonist Convicted of Child Molestation

VENTURA, CALIF. VENTURA, Calif. (AP) _ The cartoonist who created Hustler magazine’s ‘’Chester the Molester’’ has been convicted of molesting a teen-age girl.

Dwaine Tinsley, 44, was found guilty of five child molestation counts by a Superior Court jury on Friday. Jurors agreed Tinsley had substantial sexual contact with the girl but also acquitted him of six charges and deadlocked on another five.

The cartoon created by Tinsley depicts a lecherous character and his attraction to young girls. He refused to talk with reporters after the verdict.

Defense lawyer George C. Eskin promised to appeal the guilty verdicts, arguing as he did during trial that the young woman accused Tinsley in retaliation for his efforts to halt her drug use.

Tinsley faces a maximum prison term of 16 years and a $50,000 fine when he is sentenced March 1, said Deputy District Attorney Matthew J. Hardy.

The molestations started in 1984, when the girl was 13 and continued until age 17, he said.

Evidence presented at the trial said Tinsley told co-workers, ‘’You can’t write this stuff all the time if you don’t experience it.’’

But Tinsley’s ‘’Chester the Molester’’ eliminated its focus on pedophilia several years ago, Hardy said.

The prosecutor said the verdicts vindicated the victim, whose longtime efforts to report the attacks were discredited by adults.

Tinsley, who now lives in Los Angeles, testified during the seven-day trial that the woman made up the story because he disapproved of her cocaine habit.

Oh gee he draws a cartoon about a dirty old man wanted to rape 9 year old girls and he’s arrested for what? I wonder why? NOT! Yet you would defend this? You think this is okay? You think the 13 year old in this story thinks this is okay? Her life in ruined! This man should be tarred and feathered!
