DENVER (AP) -- Police are investigating whether the author of a guide for pedophiles did anything illegal even as they try to protect him from a threat posted on a local website.
Phillip Ray Greaves II of Pueblo has drawn national attention because his self-published book for sale on Amazon offers advice to pedophiles on how to make a sexual encounter with a child as safe as possible.

And quite a number here on FR are tacitly or openly supporting his “right” to publish the book and for it to be sold.
I am sure that some kind of disaster is going to happen to put a huge monkey wrench in the works.
I just don’t get it.
actually, if normal people read the book they might learn about the pedophile networking that endangers their children, and how they prey on kids.
Believe me, the real pedophiles know how to do it.
This creep is a real pedophile. He’s not writing to help parents, he’s writing to help fellow pedophiles.
There probably are books that help parents protect their children from pedophiles.
"Safe" meaning "safeguard yourself from prosecution for pedophile behavior", perhaps.
I agree that pedophiles should be fried. but pedophiles, not those who mention pedophilia. not everyone who talks about molesting children actually acts onthose words.
unless you want thought police arresting, and perhapos executing people for something they haven’t done, then you are intelligent enough to know that we need to remember that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and that they must be guilty of some action, NOT some thought.
criminalizing thoughts, however distasteful those thoughts may be, opens the door to persecution of anyone for anything.
BTW: almost every mystery writer provides instructions on how to commit murder. should they be prosecuted as well? if so, then round them up. if not, then please tell me what crimes authors are allowed to write about?
The Greeks made Socrates drink Hemlock for what?!
Pedophile thoughts that are kept in their miserable skulls are one thing.
Pedophile thoughts that are turned into books or blogs or how to manuals are another thing entirely and until leftist SCOTUS decisions that were wrong, would not be legal.
And should not be legal again.
A murder mystery detailing a THEORETICAL murder invented in the author’s mind is one thing. It meant to entertain, and is not a “how to” manual.
A how-to pedophilia book written by a REAL pedophile, with the intent of REALLY helping REAL pedophiles commit crimes is entirely different. It is not for the purpose of innocent entertainment, it is to help pedophiles COMMIT CRIMES. It is encitement to criminal acts.
You’re confusing THOUGHT with SPEECH.
The author of this HOW TO manual for pedophiles is a CONVICTED PEDOPHILE. GOT IT??????
And thoughts are not the same as the ACTION of writing a book and selling it.
I already explained that mystery writers are not convicted murderers writing how to manuals with the intent of helping other people commit crimes.
This book is a how to manual, written to help other pedophiles commit crimes, by a pedophile who has committed crimes.
