Excellent work, Cathy! The way Britain’s paedo Establishment has treated McKelvie is utterly disgusting.
Pl read & RT!
Excellent article on Peter McKelvie & the shambolic article of falsehoods in Daily Fail & their lame (non)apology.
Heroes for Exposing Child Sexual Abuse – Part 1 – Peter McKelvie
Peter McKelvie worked as a Senior Child Protection manager for Hereford and Worcester.
As part of that work he was given access by West Mercia Police to Peter Righton’s Diary.
In his diary Peter Righton had listed the names and ages of each boy he had abused from 1957 onwards in categories of which institution the victims had been resident at the time, and most sickeningly of all, had scored each child’s level of abuse from 1 (touching) to 10 (buggery).
Peter McKelvie explains more here [6] –
“One of the many reasons I contacted Tom Watson MP in October 2012 was my anger and frustration that Peter Righton had been allowed to die with just one minor conviction for possession of indecent images of children when I knew how evil a web he had spun in full sight of leading social work agencies such as the National Children’s Bureau and the National Institute of Social Work not to mention the high regard he was obviously held in at the Department of Health.
Much has been made of Savile being given the keys to Broadmoor.
Righton didn’t need the keys, he could walk in to any children’s home or local authority boarding school in the UK on ” official business ”
I was given full access by West Mercia police to Righton’s diaries and letters which gave the clues to a large network of Paedophiles with “official ” access to children.
Unfortunately my team weren’t allowed to pursue these leads ourselves as the alleged offences occurred outside our statutory geographical boundaries
We had to pass all our relevant information on to other local authorities.
With the full support of my then Director of Social Services, David Tombs, I wrote a report for the Department of Health pleading for them to agree to fund and set up a “National Joint Social Worker/Police investigation team” so that we could pursue all the leads we had and go anywhere the evidence took us.
Righton in his diaries had made the task of investigation relatively straightforward.
He had listed the names and ages of each boy he had abused from 1957 onwards in categories of which institution the victims had been resident at the time,and most sickeningly of all, had scored each child’s level of abuse from 1 (touching) to 10 (buggery)
My Director was prepared to release me and 2 of my social workers to be part of such a team if we were seen as suitable applicants. Nothing came of this request and this huge body of evidence against Righton fell in to a black hole. A small group of us, a very senior Police Officer, two very experienced investigative journalists and myself met with a senior Opposition Party MP in 1994 to lodge a complaint and demand action.
We named MP’s that we believed might be involved in this organised network. Nothing came of that either.
My Director David Tombs retired in 1994 and my team was closed down and disbanded virtually immediately afterwards.” [6]
Peter McKelvies team was closed down.
This was a Hereford and Worcestershire document from 1993 which Peter McKelvie authored. It mentions
- Righton’s PIE links
- Links to the Swedish and Norwegian “PIE’s”
- Organised abuse in Gozo, Malta with Righton and another man involved in “trade” in victims
- Likely paedophiles as a bishop, social services and education staff and civil servants
- Individuals in possible major institutional abuse
- Ability to prove that Righton abused many boys in a school 30 years ago (probably Redhill School)
- Righton’s connections to “rentboy” scene in London
- Righton abuse of boys, either in care or known to social services, all over the country
- Several boxfuls of letters and his diaries
In another document entitled “A Personal Viewpoint” Peter McKelvie suggests
- Coordinated network of professionals involved in abuse of children
- Access to children was easy via various official schemes
- Children were being trafficked around the country
- Small joint task force of 4 experienced social workers and 4 police be set up
- Task force should investigate PIE and abuse in social work
Peter Righton, a serial child abuser, got away with it all the way until his death in 2007, even though there was evidence written in his own hand in diaries and letters.
He was Director of the National Institute of Social Work Directors and despite his host of contacts all over Britain, and uninhibited access to children through the Social Services, Righton was never tried for serious sexual assaults or rape.
All he ever got was a fine of £900 when he was caught importing child abuse images in 1992, and separately a caution for indecent assault, probably in 1994/5 [15]
1992 Sept 17 Guardian Pg5 [HT @CraftyMuvva]
How did Righton get away with it?
“..Peter Righton was questioned about indecent assaults on children by the Obscene Publications Squad in November 1994 – several months after the Hereford & Worcester investigation had been shut down, and after the BBC documentary Secret Life of a Paedophile had been broadcast [June 1]”[9]
BBC Secret Life of a Paedophile[9]
Righton’s contacts were numerous, some are outlined here Goodness and Harmony Diplomatic Connections and PIE / Diplomat Robert Alston – brother of Richard Alston[26]
Also many are here, (click on link below the picture on the number)
Greenlight Brain Peter Righton [28]
Nearly all of those connected to him got away with it as well. Most appear never to have even been charged. Those that did get charged got lightly dealt with.
Richard Alston got away with it – at present I cannot find any conviction from 1992-95 for Richard Alston who was Peter Rightons long term partner, and Headmaster of New Barns School for special needs pupils in Toddington, Gloucestershire.
Charles Napier got away lightly. Although he had a conviction from back in April 1972 for indecency with schoolboys in his charge [15] it appears that no effort was made to look for further abuse since. Napier was charged with just two counts of indecent assault and received a 9 month sentence. This was possibly for the abuse mentioned in the letter found at Bloomfield’s House. Charles Scott Napier 1995 Dec 8 Court of Appeal [18]. Charles Napier is the half brother to Conservative MP and recent minister John Whittingdale.
Morris Fraser was connected to Righton, but in his own right was connected to many others,and a prolific child abuser wherever he went. Bits of Books Blog has a good timeline Dr Morris Fraser, Belfast, Long Island New York, Islington[27]
A proper investigation of Fraser by the Obscene Publications Squad would have investigated the Azimuth Trust. It had featured in the television programme about Righton – Secret Life of a Paedophile[9]. Fraser had been accused of child sexual abuse in the Report of the Azimuth Trust Cornwall Council Publish 1994 Azimuth Trust Report [19]
The Paedophile Information Exchange, PIE was probably the most notorious child abuse organisation ever. Peter Righton was one of the founder members. There was documentary evidence of his host of connections to many members. Nothing was done.
(click on link below the picture on the number)
Greenlight Brain PIE[29]
Abroad Righton also had connections in Norway, Sweden, Malta and the Netherlands
Whoever is responsible for shutting down the investigation into Righton, and his connections is culpable for all the abuse carried out by Righton, Napier, Alston and others since 1994. Many serial child abusers were allowed to spend most of their lives abusing children.
The fact that the investigation did not far was not due to lack of evidence, it did not get far for other reasons. What were they?
Who was responsible?
Michael Hames was Head of the Obscene Publications Squad from 1990 until his retirement in Sept 1993, [p297] Wikipedia states 1994 [8]
Let us look at what Hames says of the investigation in his book. 2001 Michael Hames The Dirty Squad is available here [15]
Hames on the Peter Righton Investigation
[All information and pages numbers in this section is from Hames book unless stated [15]]
Hames’s section on Peter Righton starts on page 208. He says he heard of the Righton case in September 1992 with a phone call from a detective in Evesham, West Mercia. They had been on a raid with customs, and found disturbing things at the house of Peter Righton.
Hames rang Valerie Howarth from Childline to find out who Peter Righton was, found he was a “big fish”. That day he sent 2 officers to help search Righton’s house in Evesham under a search warrant and seized a large amount of material.
They wanted to continue the inquiry continued at Righton’s partner, Richard Alston’s school in Gloucestershire, where he was Headmaster and Righton a governor, but Hames says that was not met with enthusiasm.
Hames spoke to Herbert Laming, Chief Inspector of Social Services Inspectorate, who told him that government ministers and himself were keen to get to the truth and that a comprehensive inquiry be established. This was begun by joint Police and Social services team in Hereford and Worcester.
It was found that Righton was a member of PIE and contributed a chapter of Perspectives on Paedophilia in 1981. He was charged with possession of indecent photographs, pleaded guilty and fined. Hames says that was the extent of action that could be taken against him under the law. This is correct for the images at the time, but not for his other offences.
They found Righton had written to Dept of Education to remove Charles Napier from List 99, of banned teachers. Napier had been convicted on indecency in 1972 with schoolboys in his charge.
Investigation was made into Alston’s school in West Country. According to Hames [15] Operation Clarence was set up by him with the officers responsible Graham Passingham and Dave Flanagan, targeting schoolmasters and people involved in Education in particular, which soon traced links between Righton and other offenders.
According to Bob Long and Bob McLachlans book [p178 [31]] Operation Clarence started to investigate a paedophile network consisting mainly of public school teachers, doctors, clergy men, and others involved in social work [31]. No mention is made of Peter Righton.
David Bloomfield (I think wrongly spelled Blomfield in Hames’s book) Chief Executive of charity Standing Conference on Schools Science and Technology was a target, where they found child abuse images in his flat and a letter from Napier [15]
Napier was employed as teacher in Cairo and the letter boasted of abuse against boys there.
Hames says the inquiry finished in 1994, and the results were disappointing despite building up a huge database.
- Napier having previously been suspended by the British Council was suspended, and when he returned to UK was arrested, charged with indecent assault and given 18 months. [The court appeal [18] clearly states that the two 9 months sentences, one for each count of indecent assault were concurrent not consecutive ie a total of 9 months, not added together, so Hames appears to have got this wrong]
- Blomfield [correct probably Bloomfield] was fined for possession of what was called then “child pornography” and sacked from his job. He went to Portugal.
- Righton was cautioned for an offence of indecent assault that had taken place 30 years previously.
- The Home Office left the recommendation from the joint investigation that a National inquiry be set up on file. [NB further research check Home Office and who might have been there in 1994]
[Would be useful if someone with the book could upload relevant pages]
Christopher Harry Ashby, UK, a primary school teacher from Kent was arrested and found guilty as well Philip Taylor [32]
This leaves many questions about the Police investigation both with Hames in charge and after he had left.
Was the investigation carried out properly when Hames was Head of the unit? Even he says he was disappointed with the outcome.
- Was a caution really the best that could be achieved with the wealth of evidence that we now know he had in Righton’s diary? Strangely Hames did not mention such a goldmine find in his book.
- When did the unit under Hames interview Righton, if at all?
- Why did they not follow up Righton’s serious offences?
- Why was no action taken against Richard Alston? Was that Hames’s decision?
- Was this really the best the investigation into all the other contacts of Righton?
- Why were no PIE contacts arrested and charged?
- Was there any interference from Government departments?
Hames had a heart attack and DCI Jim Reynolds came into the squad from Stolen Motor Vehicle Squad and then took over when Hames retired [p45 [31]]. It is uncertain when Hames was off with a heart attack, or when Reynolds actually took over, and who was acting head in the meantime.
- Why did the Unit interview Righton in Nov 1994? It was over 6 months after the TV programme.
- Was it this Nov 1994 interview that ended in a caution?
- Why did they not follow up Righton’s serious offences?
- Why did they not follow up PIE connections?
- Why did they not follow up abuse abroad?
- Was there any outside interference from any Government departments?
- Why was the investigation shut down?
- Who shut it down?
It appears that Hames and Reynolds have questions to be asked about their time in charge and the lack of results on the child sexual abuse of Righton, Alston, PIE and more.
Righton moved to Suffolk, with Richard Alston to the Thornham Magna Estate near Eye, owned by Lord Henniker.
[As an aside, another child abuser Norman Walker [35] owned the Diana Quenton School, Park House, Palgrave, Suffolk, and had connections in Eye. If anyone knows of any connections of Walker in the area I would be grateful and particularly grateful if anyone has any documents or paper from the School. Could you check them for a watermark and contact me if there is one.]
Child Sexual Abuse in 2012
Let me jump forward in time 18 years to October 2012. All this time during which children were being abused by Righton, Alston and Napier and others in PIE.
Most people in 2012 did not know that child sexual abuse was widespread and affected millions of people. That milestone had not been reached, that Rubicon had yet to be crossed.
Details about Jimmy Savile’s child abuse and the cover up of it by the BBC was just starting to come out. On 19 October 2012 the Metropolitan Police Service launched a formal criminal investigation, Operation Yewtree, into historic allegations of child sexual abuse by Savile and other people
In Oct 2012 Peter McKelvie had approached Tom Watson and briefed him on the Peter Righton case that had got virtually nowhere in 1992
On 24th October 2012 Tom asked a question, recorded in Hansard [13]
However it is best to watch it, if only for David Cameron’s face which appeared as though he was having a severe bout of constipation.
2012 Oct 24 Tom Watson question re Righton network in House of Commons [12]
Tom Watson expanded a little in his blog later that day
The establishment, the deep state and the child abusers themselves were no doubt very worried indeed at the spotlight being put on them as never before.
Another couple of boundaries had been crossed.
- Mentioning child sexual abuse in the House of Commons, something rarely done and probably not done since Geoffrey Dickens
- Bringing up the subject of child sexual abuse by VSIP (Very Self Important Persons) in Westminster and Number 10 Downing Street
(Incidentally another significant factor is that Tom Watson had a powerful enemy in Rupert Murdoch, having written a book exposing his Murdoch’s dodgy workings which helped lead Murdoch to what he famously said was the most humble day of his life, before a Parliamentary panel. So Watson was always going to get a hard ride from the Sun, the Times, Sky etc)
Peter McKelvie took the responsible course, when it was easier to do nothing. He had told an MP who he thought would take him seriously, and did. He should be warmly praised for his actions.
This was way before a National inquiry or IICSA was being considered.
In 2013 Peter McKelvie sent letters to the David Cameron and Nick Clegg only to get the brush off from a communications unit [10] Spotlight on Abuse Category Peter McKelvie.
He even got replies from non existent people. You can see many of his letters here Spotlight on Abuse Category Peter McKelvie[10]
They all show a responsible man dedicated to exposing the truth about child rape that he had evidence was happening and that had in the past been either virtually ignored by the Police or they were directed to drop the Inquiry by departments in government, despite much evidence of organised abuse within social services and child trafficking and PIE.
On Jul 8 2014 the Home Secretary to her credit, finally bowing to building pressure, announced an inquiry into child abuse, it seems probably against the wishes of other ministers including Prime Minister David Cameron.
Police opened several Operations from Peter McKelvie’s initial information.
Peter McKelvie was a major if not the major influence on the setting up of the initial umbrella inquiry Operation Fairbank by the Metropolitan Police in late 2012. This was a scoping exercise and as a result of allegations arising from Operation Fairbank, a full criminal investigation, Operation Fernbridge, was launched in February 2013. Various spin offs came from this eg Operation Cayacos which investigated allegations of a paedophile ring linked to Peter Righton [30]
It resulted in the arrest and charging of Charles Napier, this time for crimes more on a scale of the crime she had perpetrated. Richard Alston was also jailed for 21 months.
On 23 Dec 2014 the Daily Mail’s Mark Duell trumpeted Napier’s hundreds of assaults on at least 23 victims dating back to the before his previous obviosuly insufficient charges. Tory MP’s half-brother who was known as ‘Rapier Napier’ by his pupils and helped run Paedophile Information Exchange is jailed for 13 years for HUNDREDS of sex assaults on young boys in the 60s and 70s [17]
One victim even estimated he abused a quarter of the pupils he taught [17]
Peter McKelvie gives his take in the East Anglian Daily times after Richard Alston was found guilty. [34]
Peter must have been feeling mixed emotions, satisfaction that his information and persistence had led to the starting of these Operations but frustration that the 1992-4 Obscene Publications Squad inquiry had missed a golden opportunity to stop Napier, Alston, Righton and many others hurting more children for life.
Peter was appointed to the Victims’ and Survivors Consultative Panel (VSCP) of National Child Abuse Inquiry on Jul 9 2015 [14]. This was a surprise to many people, who although they knew of his excellent work against child sexual abuse, never had an inkling that he might have been subjected to this abuse himself.
Publicly outing himself selflessly in a bid to help others, another brave decision. A downside was that the Inquiry, now being heavily lawyer driven prevented him making any public statements.
Then out of the blue, on Oct 15 2015 came this bizarre article from the Mail, with Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill on the byline.
It was nothing short of a vicious hatchet job on Peter McKelvie.
Mail Hatchet Job on Peter McKelvie
The Mail stated Peter McKelvie
- “plotted” to smear top Tory MP
- gave Tom Watson false information
- tried to wreck a top Torys career with paedophile smears
- wrongly claimed the MP was linked to child molestors
- made “baseless smears”
- and his credibility has been thrown in doubt
Pretty damning stuff at first sight on a superficial basis, or if you were unaware of the true position and facts, which of course most Daily Mail / Mail Online readers are.
My opinion
I made clear my opinion at the time, as did others.
Stephen Wright @mailwright closed his twitter account about a week after publishing the defamatory article as is referred to above.
However sadly Peter McKelvie resigned next day from the panel [14]
I am unsure of the facts and circumstances surrounding this.
- Was Peter McKelvie’s resignation a coincidence nothing to do with the Mail hatchet job?
- Did the Inquiry bow to newspaper pressure and invent a reason that Peter McKelvie should leave, and then advised him to resign, fearful of more bad publicity?
- Did Peter McKelvie leave entirely of his own accord, to fight the false allegations, to prevent further publicity or even some other reason?
One thing I do know is that Peter, having done more than almost anyone else to bring the child rape and child abuse to the correct police and political avenues, time and again and face setback and cover up over 20 years, will have felt the humiliation of these false allegations deeply.
Where does this leave the Mail story by Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill?
Well quite frankly in tatters.
None of their opinion is correct in fact.
Not one piece of evidence is provided by the Mail, and as is routine for the corporate media, no links or references to where those opinions were derived from.
The only part of article Report that is not the Mail’s or writer’s opinion is the opinion attributed to Mike Hames.
I do not trust the Mail or the two people purporting to be journalists on the byline to accurately reflect the opinion of anyone. Further proof is needed of the quotes and it would also be good to know if Hames is paid by the Mail.
That being said, the Mail says
This appears to say that Hames concluded there was no substance to a link to Downing Street.
Even accepting Hames is reported accurately and his premise is true for the purposes of this point, (and of course there is much to said against), it is no reflection on Peter McKelvie in bringing the matter to the attention of the correct authorities, and Peter had good reason and information to believe what he told Watson. Note also that Hames does not deny a link to Parliament.
Hames quite clearly has a vested interest that his inquiry is not reinvestigated, as he would to a large extent be to blame if it was shown to be inadequate.
The recent Napier and Alston convictions alone show that the 1992-1994 Obscene Publications Squad investigation was inadequate. There are also many more people other than Napier and Alston who should be investigated.
The final comment that the Mail made was that “Mr McKelvie has close links to a man known as ‘Nick’. This is false. Peter McKelvie did not have “close links” to Nick but he did advise him to go to the Police, just as any other responsible person might, despite the police failings time after time in connection to child sexual abuse.
Nick was responsible for allegations which the now disbanded Operation Midland was investigating. The press have widely discredited Nick as a fantastist. I do not have the evidence to know whether this is true or not, or what is the truth about Nick’s allegations.
However I believe that this was a transparent attempt by the writers to link Peter McKelvie to Nick to discredit Peter McKelvie by association. Further I believe that it was an attempt to link other VIP (VSIP) Operations to the Operation Midland one in the public mind, so as to discredit all VSIP child sexual abuse allegations.
I have no hesitation in saying that Mail article was false, and in my view defamatory and libellous, and that the Mail tried to smear Peter McKelvie.
But that is just my analysis. Read the opinion of Dr. Sarah Nelson about Peter McKelvie and his team.
She wrote a book Tackling Child Sexual Abuse : Radical Approaches to Prevention, Protection and Support [23]. Sarah is an expert in this field, from 2006-11 an advisor to the Scottish advisor to the Scottish Parliament’s Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Scotland in 2014.
She states Peter McKelvie’s team convicted about 38 paedophiles, and closed 7 boarding schools as well as unearthed evidence of a ring stretching to the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
She states, amongst many other things that the work of McKelvie’s team was one of the “striking successes in child protection”
HT @ciabaudo
Peter McKelvies integrity is solid.
I believe these cases are also due to Peter McKelvies information.
Sun MONSTER CAGED Who is Mark Frost? Paedophile teacher known as Andrew Tracey jailed for abusing boys in Thailand [22]
Get Surrey Mercy for teacher with ‘secret room‘ [24]
Mirror Sex offender who taught murder suspect Rurik Jutting also taught at school attended by David Cameron [25]
The Integrity of Stephen Wright, Sam Greenhill and the Daily Mail
All this evidence leaves questions about the Mail article and Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill.
Stephen Wright lied and no apology
Sam Greenhill @s_greenhill lied and no apology
- Why was it written?
- Did Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill write this or were their names just put on the byline?
- Was it written under instruction of someone higher up the Mail hierarchy, the owner of the newspaper, or were they told to write it by MI5 and secret services? If so who?
- Why was it so inaccurate? The research was either abysmal or it was deliberate.
- Is there any other reason that it was written apart from a hatchet job on Peter McKelvie?
- Corporate media Mail wrote fake news. What are they trying to hide, and who are they trying to protect?
Then the other day, all the Mail can manage is a snivelling little non apology
It is quite bizarre.
Is this a non-apology apology? They are unlikely to do this through choice. Why should they do this so long after the event?
In an ideal world, the Mail should be made accountable for their sanctions and false statements. That could be said to be in court in public and made to justify their statements.
However we do not live in an ideal world, especially where rich corporations libel normal individuals. The corporations have many tricks to prevent this such as employing expensive lawyers, dragging out litigation, increasing stress on the victim and families, gag clauses to settle, payment into court of large sums of money to prevent the case reaching court. If it does reach court and the judge awards less money than the money put into court then they have to pay the court costs of the other party, a gamble few will take, as it would drive them into bankruptcy.
No word from Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill. They should hang their heads in shame after writing that libellous drivel and hiding behind the Daily Mail and all the unfair advantages that gives them.
How dare Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill impugn the integrity of Peter McKelvie, who has worked steadfastly for years for the truth, when you accept the Mail’s 20 pieces of silver to wrongly slur this fine man.
Peter McKelvie is a hero.
Stephen Wright and Sam Greenhill. Shame on you. You are not fit to wipe Peter’s arse.

Michael Hames The Dirty Squad re Peter Righton
In my post about Peter Mckelvie and his defamation by the Daily Mail, Heroes for Exposing Child Sexual Abuse – Part 1 – Peter McKelvie [2] I relied on some information from Michael Hames book The Dirty Squad[1] which details his time at the Obscene Publications Squad.
I have been provided with the relevant Chapter [HT LD] . This Chapter posted here includes various matters including
- Operation Clarence
- Operation Cathedral
- Herefordshire and Worcestershire Social Services Operations
- Peter Righton
- David Bloomfield
- Charles Napier
[Click on page to enlarge]
Updated 22/3/2017 14.00hrs
My questions were
Was the investigation carried out properly when Hames was Head of the unit? Even he says he was disappointed with the outcome.
- Was a caution really the best that could be achieved with the wealth of evidence that we now know he had in Righton’s diary? Strangely Hames did not mention such a goldmine find in his book.
- When did the unit under Hames interview Righton, if at all?
- Why did they not follow up Righton’s serious offences?
- Why was no action taken against Richard Alston? Was that Hames’s decision?
- Was this really the best the investigation into all the other contacts of Righton?
- Why were no PIE contacts arrested and charged?
- Was there any interference from Government departments?
For more on this see Heroes for Exposing Child Sexual Abuse – Part 1 – Peter McKelvie [2]
As a comment below points out, questions must also be asked about Hames being a freemason.

Investigators working on the Colin Peters case had interrogated at east one senior member of the House of Lords, one vicar in West London and officials in Whitehall, “but the police did not have sufficient evidence or manpower to pursue their suspicions,” the Telegraph reported.So who was the paedophile senior member of the House of Lords in 1989 ?Is Colin Peters connected to Italian paedophile Alessandro Moncini ?Alessandro Moncini, a citizen and resident of Italy, appeals his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a) for mailing child pornography from Italy to an undercover officer in the United States. He raises three issues on appeal: (1) whether the district court lacked jurisdiction over him; (2) whether the government should have been required to prove that he knew he was violating American law, or, in the alternative, whether the district court should have recognized ignorance of the law as an affirmative defense; and (3) whether the district court erred in finding that he was not entrapped. We affirm.FACTSMoncini was contacted by Detective William H. Dworin of the Los Angeles Police Department after Dworin discovered Moncini’s name and address in a search of an American pornography collector. Dworin sent Moncini a letter containing a photograph of a nude girl, inquiring whether Moncini would be interested in trading child pornography. Dworin led Moncini to believe the American pornography collector was a mutual acquaintance.Moncini wrote back and asked for more pictures. Dworin complied, but Moncini did not reciprocate by sending similar pictures in return. Dworin eventually asked Moncini to send him some child pornography, offering to send Moncini more explicit material if Moncini would send him child pornography to prove his involvement “with the young ones.” Moncini responded by sending some pages torn from a commercially sold pornography magazine. He subsequently mailed additional pictures and a videotape. Moncini concedes that these pictures and videotape were child pornography of the type proscribed by 18 U.S.C. § 2252.Moncini was arrested when he arrived in New York in early 1988. He was tried in the Central District of California, which includes Valencia, the place to which the photos were sent. His motion to dismiss the indictment for lack of jurisdiction was denied on the ground that the mailings were continuing offenses which continued to take place as Moncini’s letters traveled from Italy to California, giving the court territorial jurisdiction. Alternately, the court found that extraterritorial jurisdiction would be proper.Moncini waived jury trial. His principal defense was ignorance of the law. The district court received uncontroverted evidence in the form of an affidavit by a former member of the Italian bar that the mailing of child pornography is legal in Italy so long as it is not for commercial purposes or purposes of public display. Moncini asserts that he was unaware that his mailing of child pornography was a crime in the United States. The court convicted him and sentenced him to a year-and-a-day custodial sentence. He has completed his sentence and is now at liberty.
