- Pedophile Group
-
The Pedophile Group or Pedophile Group association is a Danish organisation which was disbanded on March 21, 2004. A website is still running, operated by a group of active members of the former association. It was originally founded in 1985. On July 23, 1996 the group had eighty registered members and participated in an International Congress in Denmark. It was also a member of the IPCE (formerly the International Pedophile and Child Emancipation).[citation needed] A 2004 newspaper article identified Dan Markussen as the organization's spokesman.[1]
In 2000, a Danish TV documentary team went undercover to investigate the group. Members were shown exchanging child porn and giving advice on how to contact children in internet chatrooms. A man was arrested by police in connection with the investigation.[2][3]
In 2000, the group allegedly asked its members to provide misleading information to authorities to help Eric Franklin Rosser, a man charged with producing and distributing child pornography, evade prosecution.[4] He was convicted in 2001 however, and was subsequently added to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's most wanted list.[4]
