Paedophiles working as teachers a ‘social good’ - psychologist

Dr Glenn Wilson

A prominent psychologist has drawn fury from children’s charities after suggesting it can be a “good” thing if paedophiles find jobs teaching or social work.

Dr Glenn Wilson, a consultant psychologist, claimed some paedophiles “gravitate” into such professions to “enjoy the company of children” but would not necessarily abuse them.

He said this enabled them to channel their sexual desires towards “social good”.

His remarks, in an article published on The Independent newspaper’s website, under a headline reading “Not all paedophiles are bad people”, were condemned by the NSPCC as “naïve and dangerous” and by the child welfare campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen as “barking mad”.

But Dr Wilson defended his comments – going on to liken paedophiles seeking out jobs as teachers or social workers to male doctors training as gynaecologists.  (more...)
