Author of Pedophile Guide arrested across state

[Meian]

Dunno I have mixed feelings about this whole thing. I would've liked to peek at it to see if it is as bad as it is claimed but doubt it's possible to find now. Just that taboo curiousity deal similarly to Lolita. It was his last copy and he gets arrested for selling it to these guys, not sure what the big deal is if thats the case.

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — Florida officials filed an obscenity charge Monday against the author of a self-published how-to guide for pedophiles that was yanked from Amazon.com last month after it generated online outrage .
Polk County sheriff's deputies arrested Philip Ray Greaves II hundreds of miles away from Florida at his home in Pueblo, Colorado, and charged him with violating Florida's obscenity law.
Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said his office was able to arrest Greaves on Florida charges because Greaves sold and mailed his book, "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct," directly to undercover Polk deputies. Judd says Greaves even signed the book.
"He very proudly sold us his personal copy," Judd told the Associated Press. "I was outraged by the content. It was clearly a manifesto on how to sexually batter children ... You just can't believe how absolutely disgusting it was."
Laurie Shorter, spokeswoman for the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department, said Greaves would be held in the county jail on the Florida charge. He was being booked Monday morning and it was unclear if he has an attorney. Judd said Greaves could be in Florida as early as Monday night.
"If he will waive extradition, it's my goal for him to eat processed turkey on Christmas Day in the Polk County Jail," Judd said.
NBC News Polk County sheriff's deputies arrested Philip Ray Greaves II (right) hundreds of miles away from Florida at his home in Pueblo, Colorado, and charged him with violating Florida's obscenity law. Denver attorney David Lane, who has handled several high-profile free speech cases, said Florida could have a hard time extraditing Greaves. He is entitled to a hearing where he can argue he should not be sent there to face charges.
"The main question is whether what he's accused of in Florida would be a crime in Colorado," Lane said. "Obviously, it's not a crime in Colorado because he hasn't been arrested here."
Writs of extradition — the paperwork necessary to send somebody to another state — are routinely signed by Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, a former Denver district attorney. But Lane, who is not affiliated with this case, said it involves a different set of issues.
"Most of other extradition cases present clear-cut cases, the defendant was dealing drugs in that other state or some other crime that is also illegal here," Lane said.

Greaves has no criminal record, but his self-published book of advice on how to make sexual encounters with children safe caused a flap when it showed up on Amazon in November. The book was later removed from the site.
Judd, known throughout Florida as a crusader against child predators, said he was incensed when he heard about the book and that no one had arrested Greaves for selling it.

. "What's wrong with a society that has gotten to the point that we can't arrest child pornographers and child molesters who write a book about how to rape a child?" Judd said.
The book included first-person descriptions of sexual encounters, purportedly written from a child's point of view.
Greaves argues in the book that pedophiles are misunderstood, as the word literally means to love a child. He adds that it is only a crime to act on sexual impulses toward children, and offers advice that purportedly allows pedophiles to abide by the law.
Judd said he and his detectives got Greaves to sell the book to them for $50; he sent it through the mail and told officers it was his last copy.
"If we can get jurisdiction ... we're coming after you," Judd said. "There's nothing in the world more important than our children."
Greaves is being charged with distribution of obscene material depicting minors engaged in conduct harmful to minors.

On one hand...

Eh, never mind. I favor not pressing charges just due to the fact of our first amendment rights. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

soo.. are you guys idiots or can't you really distinguish freedom of speech from a guide to rape children?

have you read it? You've just parroted what the arresting officer said not what the news story actually stated.

You're the last person I'd expect to come to the side of the government on an obscenity charge. This is an okay use of the state's power, Mr. anarcho-capitalist?

Do we differentiate when someone publishes materials about killing cops? Yeah, we do... same premise.
Is the guy a sick fuck? 100%. Amazon did it right by not selling the book.
Yet, he has done nothing illegal.

"It's about strictly tryin to kill a cop
Once you get the hang of it, after you blast one you steal his glock
First of all you need a fat bag of dust plus the biscuit
Any local store sells the shit, friend
Purchase a milli', not that bitch Millie Jackson silly stunt
I'm talkin about the nine millimeter gun
Pick up the gat, scratch the serial numbers off
No fingerprints, surgical ones are my gloves of choice
All of these other cop killers be thinkin guns are toys
And when these cats get caught, they snitch on all they boys
I kill a cop on a solo mission; without a pair of gloves
Shot him in the face with a stolen biscuit
Then wiped my fingerprints off real careful
If you don't think you ready yet dog, just let the song prepare you"

aren't there laws defending his right to have this book in the public?

"My goal is for him to eat processed turkey in the Polk County Jail on Christmas," he said.

Charge will never survive appeal.

Its now illegal to write things, guys.

It works out just as well if the charges don't succeed. The sheriff can use it as evidence of how his job is hindered by the activist liberal judicial system in his next re-election bid.

I guess its a good thing he wants him to eat turkey and not pizza?

I was under the impression that this book is a gigantic troll ala 9000 penises. Confirm/Deny? Anyone looked at it?

Is a pedophile guide more like a parenting guide or a dating guide?
