I really do not think pedophilia has had quite the reach historically as it does today, nor do I think pedophilia is caused by "backward beliefs." imho - sexual/erectile dysfunction is a common symptom of our globe's "Chronic Disease" Pandemic. Unfortunately, neither the pandemic nor the commonness of erectile dysfunction are properly acknowledged so a lot of confused guys are running around looking for the 'right' stimulation to themselves up and off. Hence we have concurrent pandemics of pedophilia, S&M, etc.

I would be very surprised if the witches child sex abuse ring were anywhere near as blatant as the Rochdale Muslim ring.
The case started on Monday but Judge Graham Cottle imposed a legal order postponing coverage of the case until an undetermined future date.

There IS a disproportionate problem with paedophilia and sex abuse within those of rural Pakistani origin - there's nothing racist about recognising and accepting this, it in no way implies that there is a disproportionate problem with all Muslims.
And we will never begin the process of reducing the risk and instances of paedophilia until we ALL accept the facts and realities without rancour and bigotry.
This process ceased with the apparent mishandling of the McAlpine affair - the facts of which just don't make sense when any reasonable level of scrutiny is applied.
The public were convinced of the BBC's malpractice and the appointment of a new overseer seems to have reigned the Beeb in.
And then a dead, fat, Liberal politician who conveniently represented an already tainted community has been offered up as a lamb to slaughter which seems to satisfy the publics lust for blood.
It seemed to me that the revelations were part of an organised process whose purpose has yet to be revealed, however, this process was hamstringed by the McAlpine affair with the overall result of a few dead or has-been minor celebrities and an irrelevant MP's reputations tarnished and discredited - but no more discussion about the doings of both past and present politicians and their nefarious associates.
MSM leap on instances like this in Cornwall to maintain the illusion that paedophilia is a rare occurrence and generally only practiced by those already outside of the usual social norms or the poor and depraved - whereas the troth is unfortunately much different.
The conspiracy theorist in me can not help but wonder that there appears to be two seperate agenda's at play and not being able to resist the odd piece of wild speculation I can't but help wonder if there is some sort of schism or disagreement within the ranks of 'the establishment'?

The best way we have, to tackle them all, is on a case-by-case basis with no prejudice regarding status, colour or religion.

Country bumkin police force notices a book on witchcraft and then join imaginary dots together.
At this rate we will soon have a lynch mob.
Look, its cold here in Cornwall. It gets dark early at 16:30 and people are bored.
i live 6 miles from Falmouth and these idiots probably wouldn't even know what a demon looks like let alone doing their own witchcraft.

Why are people so quick to judge an entire race or religion when this case seems to only involve a few sick and twisted individuals? Just because these men claim they are Pagans, doesn't mean that all Pagans are involved in cult rituals like this. As someone who has personally studied various religions and practices, I find it disheartening when people are so quick to blame religion, rather than laying blame where it belongs - on the few disgusting men who committed the crime.
Most people who claim to be witches practice white magic, and work on healing others. As for Pagans, the only difference there is Pagans believe in multiple deities, instead of just one God. This part might be a little off topic but I find those who are quick to judge things they don't understand.

people have been very quick to try and draw a link between religious beliefs and acts of paedophilia, or rather a specific religious belief.

There is most definitely a link there. Any belief system that regress sexual needs end up producing a large number of paedophiles

OK, so your thread is not about the article you linked in your OP. I still think the idea that the BBC are pointing the finger at "witches" should be addressed as these scumbags probably are not even witches.
Is it just part of the divide and rule or are they hoping to distract us from their own wrongdoings?
It seems to me that all paedophiles have always been protected, even when they end up in prison it's often a joke how long they get.
We need to be looking at who is protecting them, in my view only a paedophile would protect a paedophile.
I would never put down a whole group of people for the actions of a few unless that group are a paedophile ring of course.
I don't like talking about these things but thanks for giving me a chance to get that off my chest.

I didn't mean you specifically - was referring to the article itself. Media always tries to make people who practice the Occult out to be Satanists or "weirdos" mainly because they lack information.

Getting involved in coven/ritual type scenarios is a minefield at any stage. Naive youngsters will always be easy pickings sadly. Obviously most groups would keep their house clean and in good order, but at some point or other you'll always find the odd heavy breather that's there for the titties and little too enthusiastic over the five fold kiss.
Two men have been jailed for a total of 32 years after sexually abusing several children as part of a witches' coven in Cornwall during the 1970s.
Peter Petrauske, 72, and Jack Kemp, 69, were said to have donned ceremonial robes and pagan paraphernalia before abusing young girls.
Police believe one of their victims may have been as young as three.
