Dark revelations about the Paedophile Information Exchange (“PIE”) have resurfaced, drawing renewed attention to the group’s activities and affiliations in the 1970s and 1980s.

PIE, founded by Ian Dunn and Tom O’Carroll, was a controversial organisation that campaigned for the legalisation of adult-child sexual relationships and sought to lower the age of consent. The group disbanded in 1984 after two of its executive committee members were convicted of child pornography offences, and its leader fled the UK while on bail.
Investigations and media coverage in 2014 highlighted the group’s connections to the National Council for Civil Liberties (“NCCL”), now known as the human rights watchdog Liberty. Between 1977 and 1980 NCCL’s general secretary was Patricia Hewitt, and its legal officer was Harriet Harman; both were implicated in NCCL’s affiliations with PIE. Patricia Hewett was the Labour Health Secretary (2005-2007) and Harriett Harman was the Deputy Labour Leader and Chair of the Labour Party (2007-2015) and is now a member of the House of Lords.
In response to the revelations, Hewitt apologised for the NCCL’s involvement with PIE, stating that the organisation was “naive and wrong” in allowing itself to become affiliated with the group. Harman, however, expressed regret but refused to apologise, claiming that the allegations were part of a “politically motivated smear campaign.”
A whistleblower claimed that PIE received funding from the Home Office, with grants totalling approximately £70,000 (equivalent to about £400,000 in 2014) between 1977 and 1980.

Fast forward to 2025 and PIE is back in the news. Journalist Alex Renton has recently uncovered a secret membership list of PIE, leading to further revelations about the group’s activities and the identities of its members. Renton’s investigation has shed light on the criminal activities committed by some of PIE’s members, including teachers, clergy, social workers and government advisors.
A secret list of more than 300 PIE members was handed to the BBC.
“A small number of those named on the list may still have contact with children through paid work or volunteering,” the BBC said. “Most PIE members were based in the UK – but there are also details of people in other parts of western Europe, Australia and the US.”
“The list – and dozens of other documents relating to PIE members – were given to the BBC team and journalist Alex Renton, who has written extensively about historical institutional child sexual abuse and presents the BBC podcast, ‘In Dark Corners‘,” the BBC added.
Renton, a victim of child abuse himself, has been tracking allegations of abuse in British schools and has logged over 1,600 allegations at 700 schools, involving over 400 staff members that have been reported to him since he first wrote about child sex abuse in a newspaper article. He believes that Britain has an “institutional addiction to cover-ups” and that many institutions, including the BBC, the Church of England and the NHS, have prioritised reputation over child safety.
Two years ago, he made a Radio 4 series, ‘In Dark Corners’, about the problem in Britain’s elite schools. His work has led to a second Radio 4 series, ’In Dark Corners, Series 2’, which investigates the people on the PIE list and explores why many of them were able to continue abusing children despite being known to the authorities. Approximately 65 members of PIE worked in regulated professions that involved contact with children, including 30 teachers, social workers, clergy, doctors, psychologists and youth workers such as scouts and football coaches.
His second radio series, which began last week, also explores how PIE managed to infiltrate and fool many liberals into thinking that “free love for children” was a logical next step after the success of other liberation movements in the 1970s. In particular, if it was okay to be gay, it was fine to be a paedophile.
PIE presented itself as a respectable campaigning organisation, but many of its members were active child abusers, with around half of the 143 tracked-down members having been sentenced, cautioned or charged for abuse offences.
Prominent founding member Peter Righton made unchallenged media appearances and produced well-written pamphlets arguing that children were oppressed by parents unwilling to allow them to express their sexuality.
Righton, who was convicted of distributing child abuse images in 1992, advised Virginia Bottomley when she was the Conservative Health Secretary on the safety of children in residential care and infiltrated charities designed to help vulnerable and homeless gay youth. Righton was under police investigation for assaults when he died in 2007.
PIE targeted organisations such as the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (“CHE”) and the NCCL. PIE’s chairman Tom O’Carroll, who sat on NCCL’s gay rights committee in the late 1970s, successfully lobbied against tightening laws on “indecent” images of children.
The group’s tactics also included sending prominent activists to speak at meetings – such as CHE’s annual general meeting, where a PIE speaker brought a prepubescent boy to press their case – and targeting young groups, such as a young gays’ self-help organisation, where some members became victims of sexual abuse.
There are some troubling elements to the story such as the grant given by the Home Office. “There’s a retired civil servant we’ve spoken to, quite senior in the Home Office in the ‘70s, who said that he questioned a £70,000 grant from the Home Office to PIE. And his boss said, ‘Don’t question this, Special Branch have asked us to do it’.” Renton said.

All very well, but why hand the information to the BBC? Are they not a very big part of this particular problem?
They are.
“Journalist Alex Renton has recently uncovered a secret membership list of PIE” – oh yes, why now? I find the timing very suspicious.
The members of PIE were (are?) white people. The message is that white people are paedos.
This is another attempt to deflect attention from the crimes of the rape gangs as they did with Savile.
I find the timing of this PIE information coming out very suspicious, and in a few days time, on the 19th January, 2025, some other information that suddenly appeared also raised my suspicions.
It is in a report that was supposedly, in my opinion, written in 2022 and it “excuses” (my word) South Yorkshire Police for failing to take action against the rape gangs – they were too busy. Oh, so that’s all right then. We needn’t make the top officers face trial for dereliction of duty, they were simply too busy. I’ll try that one on with HMRC when I fail to send in a tax return.
“Senior police officers ‘ignored grooming gangs in Rotherham because they prioritised other crimes to hit Home Office targets’, leaked report reveals”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14301863/police-ignored-grooming-gangs-Rotherham.html
Isn’t it funny how things are suddenly emerging now when the establishment is feeling the heat over the cover up and needs excuses to stop the top people from going to prison. I don’t believe that this report was written in 2022. The timing of the “leak” is too suspicious. I say it was written in January 2025 after Elon Musk blew the whistle.
Get the top police officers up before a jury!
The most important question about this ‘problem’ is almost never asked and as far as I know, never been answered. I think it’s like Nicholson’s line in ‘A Few Good Men’, “You can’t handle the truth!”.
Why is there such intense interest in child sexuality that grown men are willing to be ruined, take a chance go to prison for life, just to see images of it?
Which brings up another question, Would God design children to sexually mature at an age so they’d be tempted to sin for years before getting married?
A point to ponder. People who were born blind and have the defect fixed later in life, aren’t able to learn to see because the ability didn’t develop in its formative window. Is is possible the same is true for the ability of a man and a woman to form the permanent union needed for the best development of their children?
That ‘perverts’ craving is like the bizarre behavior of monkeys deprived of their mother’s affection?
This will be buried now the BBC have their hands on it, just like they kept quiet about saville.
Were the allegations against Savile true? Think about what had happened just before that news came out? The timing is a big clue.
I don’t say that Savile was innocent, but it is very suspicious. They picked on Savile because he was dead and couldn’t defend himself.
that’s a long reach
It was a long reach to predict Leicester City winning nine nil, but it happened. It was along reach to say that a third of Los Angeles would burn down, but it happened.
We are led to believe that for decades Savile got away with it, but suddenly and very conveniently, just after the first convictions of Asian rape gangs his crimes get exposed, it all comes out.
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
Yes, the events are crimes, but this is also about politics, ask Starmer.
You say “This will be buried now the BBC have their hands on it”, but this article says “Paedophile Information Exchange is back in the news”.The BBC has made a documentary about it. That is hardly burying it.
The BBC are attempting to deflect attention from the crimes of the rape gangs in the same way that the Savile story was used.
So, back in the day, thanks to Nazir Afzal, there were the first convictions of Asian rape gangs and suddenly the allegations against Jimmy Savile emerge.
Now, thanks to Elon Musk, the Asian rape gangs are back in the news and suddenly this PIE story is resurrected.

Quite a coincidence eh? I call it modus operandi.

So sick of these paedophile scums.
Hi Sergio,
You mean some of these.

Journalist Alex Renton has recently uncovered a secret membership list of PIE” – oh yes, why now? I find the timing very suspicious.
The members of PIE were (are?) white people. The message is that white people are paedos.
This is another attempt to deflect attention from the crimes of the rape gangs as they did with Savile. (I am not trying to excuse the PIE)
For many years the BNP had been telling the world about P… rape gangs. The politicians and the media, especally the BBC, said, “It’s not true, don’t believe them. They are just nasty racists”.
Then Nazir Afzal got the the very first convictions of P… rape gangs. That proved that the BNP told the truth and our governments and the media had lied. The convictions had to be knocked off the news headlines.
Cue the Jimmy Savile scandal. It appeared shortly after the convictions. Very convenient. Downing Street had that scandal in a filing cabinet drawer ready to be pulled out when needed for such a purpose.
It worked. Suddenly the convictions were out of the news and the headlines were about Savile for many months.
Were the allegations true?
In the early 1970s people knew of Savile’s penthouse in Leeds, the mirrored ceiling and so on and that he took girls there, but there was never any talk of under-age girls. The talk was of groupies.
The pop groups of the day, and some are still going today, used to brag about the groupies they had.
There was never any talk of the more disgusting aspects of Savile’s indulgences. In those days we had freedom of speech so if there had been any of the more extreme acts, we would have known about them.
Savile just had groupies, as did others, but the media had to exaggerate the story by adding the extreme acts to make sure it grabbed the headlines.
What about the evidence? Didn’t hospital staff describe the things he did? They did, and today hospital staff give evidence against Lucy Letby. I am not saying that in the Lucy Letby case, anyone is lying, but I have my suspicions that some of them are lying, and I suspect that many of them lied in the Savile case.
The timing was too convenient. Someone once said something about in politics there are no coincidences. I’m sure someone on here can tell me who said it.
Why weren’t those famous pop groups \ rock bands dragged in for their indulgences? The answer is that they are still alive and can defend themselves. Savile was dead and couldn’t defend himself.
Was Savile really guilty of all that they made out? A very close friend of mine is a lawyer who was in the company of a lawyer who worked on the Savile case. After discussing it with the group he (the one who worked on the case and not my friend) asked the others if they thought Savile was guilty. Most of them said they didn’t know as the evidence was not conclusive either way, and they are lawyers.
p.s. in 2020 I very quickly came to the conclusion that things weren’t right about the coronavirus. The media coverage was too over-blown. The hospital scenes looked staged to me, they were like a cross between a medical drama and a science fiction film, say Holby City and Doctor Who. It was obviously scare mongering, and I was proved right in that when about a year later SAGE admitted that they meant to scare people.
I had the same feeling about the media coverage of Jimmy Savile – over-blown, unreal, exaggerated to the extreme that it was hard to imagine anything more that they could have thrown into the pot.
The readers comments on the internet were clearly from deep state trolls. So many people claiming that they knew all along. Oh, they knew everything and anyone who expressed doubt was attacked savagely. No other opinion was allowed.
No one was allowed to doubt the story of the coronavirus and no one was allowed to doubt Savile’s guilt.
If the hospital staff knew of Savile’s evil deeds, why did none of them speak up? Why did they speak out only after Downing Street pulled it out of the files and told the media to ram it down everyone’s throat?
p.p.s. those first convictions of the gangs proved that the governments and the media had lied to the people. It should have blown up into the huge scandal that it is now thanks to Elon Musk, but it didn’t. The Savile scandal saw to that.
The Savile scandal served its purpose, it allowed them to sweep their treachery under the carpet and out of the minds of the public.
They knew what most British people are like – bigots and quick to condemn someone, quick to pick on a scapegoat – as proved by the treatment given to sub-postmasters and mistresses before the truth of their innocence came out. Some of them were verbally abused, spat at and physically assaulted.
They stopped short of stoning to death. I expect Paula Vennells knows something about casting the first stone.
The deep state knows what people are like and they used the people’s own bigotry against them – they got them fuming over Savile so that they ignored the greatest scandal in British history – the huge cover up of rape gangs.
Talking of bigots – “As the sickening cover-up of the rape gang scandal shows, the real bigotry can often come from Labour.” That is from this article :-
“I know the sickening reasons Labour wanted to cover up the rape gang scandals. What I was told when I was Rochdale MP is utterly shocking… and now I’m exposing those politicians: SIMON DANCZUK”.

A thought struck me about two women who are grabbing the headlines for their sexual exploits which they film and show on social media – my thought was, are they plants, operatives? Are their shameless abominations actually a deep state operation to portray all white women as harlots and suggest that it is okay to rape them because they enjoy being gang raped? The aim being to excuse the crimes of the Asian rape gangs? Just a conspiracy theory.
