Thousands of people on the Internet may be protesting Amazon’s decision to continue sales of a self-published book on pedophilia, but at least one person stands by its decision: the author.
Philip R. Greaves II, author of the electronic book, “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover’s Code of Conduct,” said he was aware of the “stinging accusations” online, but argued that his critics are misunderstanding the point of his book.
“They’re accusing me of wanting to hurt children. They’re accusing me of encouraging pedophilia and all these other things. But that’s not why I wrote the book,” the 47-year-old from Pueblo, Colo., said.
