Breen was a world-famous numismatist, science fiction writer, and homosexual pedophile who was a public member and promoter of NAMBLA. He abused countless children, and was married to a female child abuser and SF writer named Marion Zimmer Bradley. Bradley abused her own daughter for years, among others.
Breen, utterly unrepentant, ended his days in Chino (the California Institution for Men). He had been convicted of child molestation at least three times in all.
After he was dead, his daughter revealed that she was one of those who turned him in to the authorities. Her name is Moira Greyland.
I used to love Bradley as an author then I read that about her. In her last days she joined the Episcopal church so I don’t know if she repented or not.
Wow, I did not know that. That sucks. I loved “Mists of Avalon” and “The Firebrand” in my younger days. How disappointing.
