Many will find this article deeply disturbing. But as a paedophile ring is smashed, one man jailed for child porn offences gives a brutally honest insight into his warped desires... and his wife reveals why she's standing by him.
Bill Henkel and his wife Sharon sit close together on a sofa in their bright, immaculate detached home in a quiet corner of eastern England.
They are active members of their local church. They sing in old age homes and Henkel, 47, likes to help the elderly of the parish with D.I.Y. jobs.
On the surface, there is nothing remarkable about the couple. The same could be said of their home.
Supportive: Sharon Henkel has stood by her husband Bill in his battle against his paedophile tendencies
Observant visitors, however, might note the absence of any computers - a clue to the fact that this is no ordinary marriage.
In June 2003, Henkel was caught downloading child pornography at work. He was prosecuted, sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment in March last year and released at the halfway point in October.
In the wake of the smashing of Britain's largest internet paedophile ring, reported in yesterday's Mail, Bill's account of his desires and his battle to control them makes compelling reading. It offers a chilling insight into the mind of a paedophile.
This week a court heard how 700 paedophiles had accessed a website - set up by 28-year-old brewery worker Timothy Cox, from Suffolk - containing 11,000 images, including more than 1,000 videos of children being abused.
While Cox was given an "indeterminate sentence", Bill Henkel admits that, in his case, getting caught was the best thing that could have happened to him.
Henkel, 48, once a high-flying IT expert, had known throughout his adult life that his sexuality was warped.
His wife of 17 years, 40-year-old Sharon, had also known - after they experienced sexual problems - that her husband was sexually attracted to young girls.
But she never thought he would offend because she had accompanied him on visits to doctors, psychologists and therapists.
Frightening to believe she is so desperate to have a man in her life that she stands by this perv.
Here is the thread:

Toronto police help British authorities smash global pedophile ring, 700 arrested
Pervs like him are feeding the Internet industry that causes thousands of children to be brutalized.
If you want to see pedophiles on parade attend Gay Pride Days around the country. NAMBLA is generally openly represented in San Fran and other progressive cities around the world.
Just makes me want to puke how the media tries to portray something like this as an illness. The b@astard enjoys seeing children hurt. Period. He is evil and she is not much better.
Ex Jersey Governor, "I am a gay American", McGreevey.
He isn't justifying his pedophilia, and neither is his wife: they're working to defeat it.
What is wrong with that? Nothing in my opinion. Would that we ALL have someone to help us with our problems.
Few of the posts on this thread has info about NAMBLA and the parades.

Brief history of the modern childlove movement
“..guy has been working with counselors, his faith, and law enforcement to keep his perversion under control,” except he just got arrested for it AGAIN. This is a person who gets his jollies from seeing little girls being harmed. Most of these people can never have their orientation changed, regardless of the help they get. His wife is so desperate to have a man in her life that she has CHOSEN this one. She is as sick as he is. I can tell you are still in Democrat recovery. :)
Bullsh1t. He doesn’t want the lifetime jail sentence and is playing victim.
And from some of the incidents I read on that thread at post 3, some of these kids could have died or are dead.
THANK GOD President Bush implemented a federal death penalty for that back in 2001. Because, some of those people in that ring were in the USA.
I’d rather die alone.

He aged rapidly there. Or did it just take a year to write the article?

You just can't make this stuff up.
He’s lying. All pedophiles lie.
They never change, never.
