Amazon has sparked outrage for selling a self-published digital book called The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct on its website. The reviews page for the "guidebook", available for Amazon's Kindle e-reader, were flooded with criticisms of the online retail company for offering it for sale.
Phillip R Greaves, listed as the author of the book , writes that paedophiles are misunderstood, as the word literally means to love a child. He argues that it is only a crime to act on sexual impulses toward children, and offers advice that purportedly allows paedophiles to abide by the law.
"This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certain rules for these adults to follow," the author writes.
"I hope to achieve this by appealing to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will results in less hatred and perhaps liter [sic] sentences should they ever be caught."
