And don't let's forget about (arguably) the sickest puppy of 'em all: Gary Glitter.

Oh Lawdy, talk about evil!

I suppose that for some, having fabulous wealth gives them the freedom to publicly exercise their true personas which other sick perverts have to keep hidden, as they don't have the ability to hire expensive lawyers to get them out of 'indiscretions'.

This puts the police in an interesting position. Given that they have charged people with the possession of child porn for having much less shocking images (eg. children on the beach) then if they let this one go, they’re rather going against the entire direction of their recent policy. And yet if the go after Sir Elton, they’ll be going after a popular figure, and they risk jury nullification...

Good point. Not sure where the line would be drawn. If I had a picture of my topless two year old niece that couldn’t possibly be considered provocative, no one would bat an eye. Had she been in a diaper? Panties? Less? I wouldn’t go there, but yeah, how young is “acceptable” for naked baby photos?? Five or six years old is obviously getting toward pedo territory, but why? It’s a tough call, but then again it’s likely that if they’re pedophiles they’ll have far more incriminating photos than the “borderline” ones. As a previous freeper posted, let’s see what turns up on his hard drive...

“I have always said that if I stand naked on top of my gallery building and drop $100 bills all day long, we would easily make the national press.”

Actually I think if you did that fully clothed you would make national press.

That said, I hope they nail EJ.

Utah Binger is the one who wants to stand around naked throwing $100 bills (post 11). I just suggested throwing feces in post 40.

“Why do people get such a jolly out of being creepy with kids?? I just do not get it.”

That is a very good question. It is horrible. I think it is a combination of things like control and availability. Some of the individuals think they ‘love’ the child and who in a most twisted way believe sex is the next step. That is one of the dangers of allowing sex and love become so confused in society. It helps set the stage for the awakening of monsters.

Also, many of them had it done to themselves as kids, and internalized it as “normal.” Truly a vicious cycle.

Yes that is true, many abusers were abused. I’ve always been highly concerned that so many male homosexuals report that they were abused or had sex with older men while children. Not that homosexuals are the only abusers which would be farthest from the case. I do not however think many really think the abuse is normal. A person can not grow up and not know that it isn’t. I do think that the psychology of couping with abuse can sometimes be turned in on itself.

Those who are abused as children grow up with a profound sense of inferiority and powerlessness. Some find positive ways to overcome this and others find comfort and pleasure in the abuse of those who they do not feel powerless against. I think for some their abuse of children is a reflection of their own internalized self hatred that powerless child that they were.

The modles remind me of the Metallica video “Whiskey in the jar”

I suspected something was strange about Elton John back in the 70’s when we wrote Hold Me Closer Tony Danza.

Many homosexual men have a sexual interest in prepubescent girls for some reason.

I think it has to do with the underlying reason they are homosexual in the first place...sexual deviancies running together and all that.
