In my fantasy, of course I'd let him help. In reality, it would depend on whether I fancied him, how well I knew him and how likely he owuld be to keep it a secret. The idea, of course, is very hot.

I was in the SOTP a few years ago. Amongst the vast array of lunacies on display, we had to refer to it as "images of child abuse". But perhaps it's different now. It will certainly be another term in a year or two, and woe betide any offender who fails to use the correct term.

I could write a book - or at least an essay - on the nonsense I endured.

I saw one or two that were not of this nature, but not many, and they were horrible, even though they were not as bad as you say - burns etc. Those ARE disgraceful and the perpetrators should be jailed.

If you believe that kids cannot consent to CP because they are too young - then you must also believe that they can never consent to sex - or their legal rights, or lots of other things too. But those aren't the kids I know, or the kids I knew when I was one myself.

My strategy is to tell these lovely, caring people what they like to hear. My real thoughts I keep to myself and for here. I want to be regarded as low risk, so that I can lead a more normal life. Their minds are closed; only harm to me can come from questioning them.

Tuesday 12th Aug 2003 - A FORMER North-East teacher was back in jail last night for possessing indecent images of children - only two years after being released from prison for distributing child pornography - Gary Anderson, 37, who changed his name from Simeon Hope following his arrest last year. Yesterday, he was jailed for 18 months and banned from ever working with children or keeping a computer with Internet access. He was also ordered to serve an extended licence, once released, of four-and-a-half years, to be controlled by the probation service and receive treatment.

In a chilling twist, Anderson, then known as Hope, had written an open letter to The Northern Echo in 1998 complaining that children were over-protected. He wrote: "Children are not and never were innocent; it's just in this fabulously rich society we can afford to protect them from real work and responsibilities. In most of our world, childhood has ended by ten or 11."
