Todd Nickerson describes himself as a non-offending minor attracted person, a ‘virtuous paedophile’.
The 43-year-old is one of a handful of paedophiles who are ‘out’ in the US and believes that his underage attraction should be understood as a sexual orientation to be controlled rather than feared.
“I am a paedophile. I’m not a monster. I have the attraction but I don’t act on it,” he told Barcroft TV in a new documentary.
“I have never ever sexually abused a child and I never will. I do not look at child porn, I never will. I obey the laws, I respect the laws, I respect society’s position on this. I understand it and agree with it.”

I agree that this is a person who needs help but please do not fall into the trap of treating pedophilia as a simple sexual orientation. This is the first step to making pedophilia acceptable to everyone's eyes. Todd, if you're a good person, please, please, please do not let yourself be exploited by the Overton Window technology. They are using you to legalize pedophilia a day. This is orrible!
I'm beyond appalled by some of the comments here.
To compare paedophilia to homosexuality is truly disgusting.
I would compare paedophilia to a socio-path, psychopath etc. because that is the kind of mental disorder it is. It is NOT a sexual orientation & how dare anyone suggest it is!
