Thomas Victor O'Carroll (born 1945) is an English writer (with dual Irish/British nationality),〔D.o.b. and British nationality confirmed in the publicly accessible abstract of a pay-to-view legal page on O'Carroll v United Kingdom in the European Court of Human Rights: ((accessed 25 June 2009) ). This page also discloses that the ECHR case was in connection with his conviction for importing indecent photographs. O'Carroll's Irish nationality is noted in the Irish Times of 12 December 2006: Irish paedophile faces sentencing in UK〕 paedophilia and paederasty advocate, and a convicted distributor of child pornography.〔〔 O'Carroll is a former chairperson of the now disbanded Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and was at one time a prominent member of the International Paedophile and Child Emancipation (now known as Ipce).
==Earlier life==
O'Carroll was working as a press officer for the Open University in the 1970s when he was told of PIE's existence after coming out as a paedophile to lesbian members of the OU Women's Group. At that time, he was editor of the OU staff newspaper ''Open House'' and had been covering a Women's Group meeting on homosexuality.〔''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'', paperback edition pa. 208.〕 His subsequent activism with PIE reportedly cost him his job there.〔For example, the ''Sunday Mirror'' ran an editorial in August 1977 calling for his dismissal. The newspaper is quoted in ''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'', paperback edition p. 226.〕
In 1980 O'Carroll's book ''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'' was published, in which he advocates the normalisation of some adult-child sexual relationships. O'Carroll asserts his belief that each stage of the sexual relationship between an adult and child can be "negotiated", with "hints and signals, verbal and non-verbal, by which each indicates to the other what is acceptable and what is not... the man might start by saying what pretty knickers the girl was wearing, and he would be far more likely to proceed to the next stage of negotiation if she seemed pleased by the remark".〔Tom O'Carroll, (''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'', Chapter 3 ), London: Peter Owen Ltd, 1980 (hardback); Boston, Mass.: Alyson Publications, 1982 (paperback). ISBN 0-7206-0546-6〕 The book gained mainstream reviews which were either scathingly dismissive〔Mary-Kay Wilmers ("'Young Love" ), ''London Review of Books'', 2:23, 4 December 1980, pp. 9–10.〕〔Charles Rycroft "Sensuality from the start", ''Times Literary Supplement'', 21 November 1980〕〔John Rae, "Suffer little children", ''The Times Educational Supplement'', 17 October 1980.〕 or sympathetic.〔Maurice Yaffé, "'Age of Consent", ''New Statesman'', 7 November 1980, p. 31.〕〔Eric Taylor "Too young to love?", ''New Society'', 30 October 1980, p. 246.〕
In 1981 O'Carroll was convicted for conspiracy to corrupt public morals over the contact ads section of the PIE magazine and was imprisoned. A barrister in the case, Peter Thornton, later a QC and senior circuit judge, wrote about it the following year in ''Rights'', the newsletter of the National Council for Civil Liberties (later Liberty). Thornton was critical of the charges, which he said had been "too remote from any tangible misdemeanour" and he suggested that O'Carroll had been convicted on little evidence.〔Peter Thornton, "Unacceptable charges exposed in recent trials", ''Rights'', 6:2, 1982.〕 Also, Dan Franklin, who had edited ''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'', wrote an afterword for the book's American edition about O’Carroll’s two Old Bailey trials (the second followed a hung jury in the first) and imprisonment. Franklin said the authorities had "shown themselves determined to punish this intelligent, articulate man to the limits of their power".〔Franklin D., Afterword, in ''Paedophilia: The Radical Case'', Boston, Mass: Alyson Publications, 1982, pp. 252–256.〕 Franklin cited commentators of the time, including Alan Watkins in ''The Observer'', who declared that O'Carroll had been penalised effectively for nothing more than campaigning to change the law.〔Alan Watkins, "Conspiracy, morals and lynch law", ''The Observer'', 22 March 1981.〕
