Pro-paedophile Activism
Pedophile advocacy groups ( alternatively spelled paedophile advocacy groups) are organizations that advocate for the abolition or lowering of the age of consent and the normalization of adult sexual relations with children. Such groups have existed dating back to 1962 in multiple countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands. In the 20th century, many pro-pedophile groups were founded during the Sexual Revolution. In the United States, pro-pedophile groups such as the Rene Guyon Society have existed since the 1960s. In Britain, the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), led by Tom O'Carroll, has operated from 1974 to 1984 and openly collaborated with other political organizations such as the Albany Trust and the NCCL. In France, many intellectuals sought to lower the age of consent during the 1970s. The Netherlands was once seen as one of the main centers of pedophile activism.

Helmut Kentler
Helmut Kentler (2 July 1928 – 9 July 2008) was a German psychologist, sexologist and professor of social education at the University of Hannover. From the late 1960s until the early 1990s, with the authorization and financial support of the Berlin Senate, Kentler placed several neglected youth aged 13 to 15 as foster children in the homes of single pedophile fathers.
