Swimming against the tide of promises to crack down on abuse and cover-up led by Pope Francis, a newly created Mexican cardinal said that some accusers should be “ashamed” to point their finger at clerics because many of them have skeletons in their own closets. The victims of pedophilia who “accuse men of the Church should [be careful] because they have long tails that are easily stepped on,” said Cardinal Sergio Obeso Rivera. The cardinal, emeritus Archbishop of Xalapa, in Veracruz, Mexico, spoke to journalists before a celebration he led in his former diocese.

The Italian actress and director Asia Argento was among the first women in the movie business to publicly accuse the producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. She became a leading figure in the #MeToo movement. Her boyfriend, the culinary television star Anthony Bourdain, eagerly joined the fight. But in the months that followed her revelations about Mr. Weinstein last October, Ms. Argento quietly arranged to pay $380,000 to her own accuser: Jimmy Bennett, a young actor and rock musician who said she had sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room years earlier, when he was only two months past...

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn attended a pedophilia-themed party, according to photographs surfacing online. The Daily Caller’s Ian Miles Cheong appears to have been the first to find and publish the photos, seen below. Ian Miles Cheong ✔ @stillgray I wish I never defended James Gunn. The now-disgraced Gunn was fired by the Walt Disney Co. last month after countless “jokes” about child rape were dug up on his Twitter account.

The TedX talks lecture series is promoting the acceptance of Pedophilia as a sexual orientation. People are paying to listen to this crap.

Just days after “Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon deleted his Twitter account after a vile old tweet surfaced, the show’s other co-creator has landed himself in hot water too.

Disney has severed ties with “Guardians of the Galaxy” filmmaker James Gunn, who deleted his Twitter account on Friday and addressed old tweets in which he joked about topics including pedophilia and rape. Gunn's past tweets were dug up on Thursday by critics who oppose his political beliefs. The filmmaker is an outspoken liberal who often criticizes President Trump. One of the now-deleted tweets said, “I like when little boys touch me in my silly place.” Another message read: “The best thing about being raped is when you’re done being raped and it’s like ‘whew this feels great, not being...

James Gunn, the writer-director of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, apologized late Thursday after a series of old (now deleted) tweets resurfaced in which the filmmaker made what he admitted were “offensive” jokes about taboo topics like rape and pedophilia. “Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo,” Gunn wrote in a series of tweets. “As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.” Gunn, who apparently deactivated his...

A Houston woman has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges that she offered to sell her 2-year-old daughter for sex at a cost of $1,200. Twenty-five-year-old Sarah Marie Peters was sentenced Thursday after earlier pleading guilty to charges that include promotion of prostitution. Authorities say undercover officers in Montgomery County, north of Houston, encountered Peters online on a social media site.

WASHINGTON — A U.S. State Department employee pleaded guilty Monday to producing thousands of images of videos of child pornography over a two-year period. Skydance MacMahon, a 44-year-old Alexandria resident, used hidden cameras to produce sexually explicit images and videos of minor children in Canada, according to court documents. MacMahon worked with a woman in Canada to produce the child pornography and distributed the videos and images through cloud storage and email. Police found pornographic images of children on an Ohio man’s cellphone in November 2017, and authorities were able to link Dropbox media of child porn to an account...

It seems the state of South Carolina wants to ensure it doesn’t fall short of the goals of its economic development agency for lack of workers. Officials plan to create a “statewide personal information data warehouse” to “track children and funnel them into the workforce.” The independent South Carolina Policy Council, which opposes the plan, noted it was contained in a budget bill passed by the legislature. The “warehouse” plan, the council asserted, is “vague, the permissions are sweeping, and the accountability mechanisms are completely absent.” The council said the main purpose of the data warehouse is to track children...

I can't copy and paste this WARNING GRAPHIC: Unsealed Indictment released for Hillary Clinton campaign chairman Joel Davis. Very Graphic indictment Placed as reference

Joel Davis, one of Hillary Clinton’s campaign officials was arrested Tuesday on child sex abuse charges, the FBI has confirmed. The indictment is a horror show and we had refrained from reading a few times. It's terrible. Here are some excerpts from the unsealed indictments:

My colleague Kashmir Hill congratulated Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg earlier today on his increasingly savvy approach to talking about privacy issues in public. It should be interesting to see him try to talk his way out of this one. The new "Groups" feature that Facebook rolled out yesterday allows users to slice and dice their friends into publicly-visible cliques, recognizing that users don't always want to share something with their entire friend list or just a single recipient. But Sophos security researcher Chet Wisniewski points in his blog to a gaping problem in that feature: Any user can add any of...

'When the state tries to intervene on our religious freedom, undermine the essence of what it means to be a Catholic, we will resist'South Australian priests have said that they would rather go to jail than break the seal of the confessional to report child abuse. South Australia has passed laws extending mandatory reporting to priests notified of paedophilic actions, even if it would require them to break the seal of confession. After a recommendation from the Royal Commission, other states are considering enforcing the law as well. However, many priests are rejecting this idea, stating they will not do...

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who would sexually harm a child. Just the mention of it makes me physically ill. Congress is now cracking down on disgusting “child sex dolls” designed to simulate rape… some which can even be customized to look like actual kids. Yes – these exist in the world. I wish I didn’t know that. According to this: The U.S. Congress has taken action to stop the importation of child sex dolls and robots, some of which can be custom-ordered to look like specific real-life children and can be programmed to simulate rape.

A massive nationwide round-up of suspected online child sex offenders by the Department of Justice has gone virtually unreported by the major national media. The Department of Justice is certainly proud of "Operation Broken Heart" and issued a press release two days ago: The Department of Justice today announced the arrest of more than 2,300 suspected online child sex offenders during a three-month, nationwide, operation conducted by Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces. The task forces identified 195 offenders who either produced child pornography or committed child sexual abuse, and 383 children who suffered recent, ongoing, or historical sexual...
