An assistant professor at a Virginia university is receiving a lot of heat for explaining it isn’t necessarily immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children.
Allyn Walker, who teaches sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, made the controversial statement while talking about “minor-attracted persons” and pedophiles during a Nov. 8 interview with the Prostasia Foundation, which is a San Francisco-based child protection organization.
“A lot of people when they hear the term ‘pedophile,’ they automatically assume that it means a sex offender, and that isn’t true,” Walker shared during the 28-minute interview. “And it leads to a lot of misconceptions about attractions towards minors.”
