Want to know how @Keir_Starmer & the @SentencingCCL changed the guidelines so paedophiles now walk free without jail time?

Then read on. The evidence is below.

Welcome to PIE2024 Part 2: B4U-ACT & Prostasia's infiltration of the UK justice system.

1/26

I previously showed how paedophile advocacy organisations lobbied @APApsychiatric when drafting the DSM-5. It's important to remember they got the APA to split the definition of paraphilias incl paedophilia into 2 categories - I'll come back to this.

2/26

@Rebeccasaysno's documented how the 'sexologists' @APApsychiatric rewrote the definitions in the diagnostic manuals used by psychologists & psychiatrists around the world, including in the NHS. They unethically redefined paedophilia & transvestism.

However, the psych professions were not their only tool. The Lucy Faithfull Foundation (LFF) is a 'sex offender treatment organisation' (inc children) that markets itself as a 'child protection' organisation. It previously advertised B4U-ACT as being a patron on its website.
4/26

B4U-ACT proudly advertises on their website the doctoral 'research' that they have facilitated by supplying paedophiles to research. Just like PIE & the @AlbanyTrust in the 70's (links below).

I previously highlighted how B4U-ACT had produced problematic suicide 'research'. Their propaganda has been referenced by doctoral candidates, some of whom now work for LFF. B4U-ACT's output is full of circular referencing & source laundering.

6/26

Because all 'research' is curated by B4U-ACT this makes it propaganda rather than research. B4U-ACT are very clear about what form any 'research' or 'therapy' should take. Eg. They advocate for 'affirmation only' therapy.

@Lucy_Faithfull_ links from their website to the paedophile advocacy organisations B4U-ACT & Virtuous Paedophiles. Funded by @oakfnd the 'Eradicating Child Sexual Assault' (ECSA) initiative was created by @DonaldFindlater.

StopItNow (LFF's helpline), ECSA, Circles UK, & Parents Protect are initiatives of @DonaldFindlater, the retired CEO of LFF. Findlater established the first offender treatment centre for paedophiles at the Wolvercote Clinic.

@JamesCantorPhD & @CraigHarper19 are on the pro-paedophilia organisation Prostasia's Advisory Council. Prostasia & B4U-ACT are closely linked. My previous criticism of Cantor's work is linked below.

Findlater presented at the same conferences as Cantor & Harper, promotes Cantor's ideas on paedophilia in the media, coincidentally alongside Cantor himself. Perhaps it's less of a coincidence when Harper's quoted as well.

Findlater & Harper spoke at the @churchofengland 2017 Safeguarding Summit. Findlater sits on various Church of England Safeguarding Panels. Michael Seto works with Cantor & is often quoted alongside.

Findlater advised on the CoE Past Cases Review & George Bell's Independent Review. The former Archbishop of Canterbury @JustinWelby has written forewords for publications Findlater was involved in.

The 2022 Police Foundation Report (a policing think-tank) advises LFF is the defacto source of support for offenders, focused on preventing reoffending rather than punishment. Low conviction rates & lying aren't considered.

Findlater has fabricated statistics on female paedophiles, & reported on them with a former helpline operator Steve Lowe, contrary to MoJ data. 2013 LFF said more focus on female offenders is needed.

Solomon Friedman, Pornhub's owner, has lectured lawyers on how to get a lighter sentence for those in possession of child sexual assault images. @LailaMickelwait has worked to seek justice for Pornhub's litany of crimes.

Stuart Allardyce represented StopItNow Scotland (a branch of LFF) in the Scottish Parliament. He was part of a 2019 Justice Scotland Report on changing CSAM sentencing guidelines in which only @VeraBaird dissented.

19/26

Allardyce writes a lot about children as 'offenders'. He's argued the definition of a sexual crime needs to change because victims access CSA images. Allardyce & Harper contributed chapters to Sexual Crime & Prevention.

2017 Child Abuse Offences (Sentencing) debate @SNewtonUK told the House of Commons of her work with LFF. In 2018 @sajidjavid opened a new LFF branch.

StopItNow is funded by @ukhomeoffice & @oakfnd.

Stephen Webster of @NatCen & Donald Findlater have often collaborated. Webster's 2014 @NatCen Report quotes Cantor's problematic brain scans, Seto's argument for good Vs bad paedophiles, & he advocates for 'protection' instead of punishment.

22/26

lucyfaithfull.org.uk/files/Stop!%20…

Webster & Findlater have presented together at the 2014 LFF onlinePROTECT Conference. "Systematic empirical research is crucial to identify potential differences and similarities between contact and non-contact sex offenders." Escalation is ignored.

Remember my 2nd post earlier when I said @APApsychiatric expanded the categories? Well @NatCen & @Lucy_Faithfull_ were at the opposite end collapsing the sentencing categories.

@NatCen advised the @SentencingCCL group.

Natcen's biased 'research' only quotes all of the sex offender treatment organisations associated with the StopItNow (LFF) syndication. Nobody else.

As documented by @guyadams for @MailOnline Keir Starmer was at 21 of the 23 meetings that put these changes through. That's how they ALL let it happen.

Over to you @KemiBadenoch to do what your office demands of you.
