Last year, Old Dominion University placed Allyn Walker on administrative leave after a chat with the Prostasia Foundation in which he claimed that being sexually interested in children isn’t necessarily wrong. Walker’s book about “Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity” is typical of the efforts to excuse pedophilia that are promoted by the Prostasia Foundation.
And Old Dominion University apparently has higher standards than the IRS.
While the IRS has targeted a variety of Christian and conservative nonprofits, including Christians Engaged in 2021, the Prostasia Foundation continues to enjoy nonprofit status.
Prostasia claims that it serves “children and youth” and “victims of crime and abuse”.
Its idea of serving children and child abuse victims was protesting guidelines banning child sex dolls and depictions of child pornography. Prostasia claimed that interfering with “the personal and private use of sex toys violates the Constitution” and argued that a ban on child sex toys might remove “a victimless outlet for some people who might otherwise target a real child”. It complained that proposals outlawing depictions of child pornography are “drenched in sex-negativity”.
The organization insists that it is focused on “rational” efforts to prevent the exploitation of children while respecting the “human rights” of pedophiles. Critics say that it is mainstreaming pedophilia by treating it as an avenue of sexual expression while lobbying to decriminalize sexual content depicting children. And they may have good reason to worry.
The Foundation is raising money for “research” into “the use of fictional or fantasy sexual outlets (e.g., sex dolls, cartoons, fictional stories) among people who have sexual attractions to children” to “promote greater wellbeing among individuals attracted to children”.
This research, involving New York’s SUNY University and the UK’s Nottingham Trent University, will study the use of “materials produced for a sexual purpose” that “feature child-like characters or stimuli” by pedophiles with “no restriction on offense history”. No restrictions on offense history could potentially include pedophiles who have been convicted of abusing children.
It is difficult to see how this project could be conducted without enabling criminal activity.
Section 62 of the British Coroners and Justice Act 2009 prohibits all obscene images of children: including art and computer generated materials. While the Supreme Court’s liberal justices, Kennedy, Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer, defended the right to fictional child pornography in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition (a group that Prostasia appears to have ties to), the PROTECT Act of 2003 closed that loophole for Americans.
The Prostasia Foundation research sounds as if it would be surveying pedophiles to see if they’re consuming virtual child pornography or engaging in even more criminal acts.
There’s no sign that this information would be passed on to law enforcement authorities.
IRS regulations specifically state that “exempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the public good”. They clearly lay out that, “violation of constitutionally valid laws is inconsistent with exemption under IRC 501(c)(3)” and that “planned activities that violate laws are not in furtherance of a charitable purpose.”
It’s hard to imagine anything more antithetical to the public good than pedophilia.
(Notably, SUNY and Nottingham Trent are both public universities funded by taxpayers so that taxpayers are not just funding Prostasia through its tax-exempt status, but also its research .)
And there are even more troubling issues with the Prostasia Foundation. Critics noted that, “Prostasia began collaborating with an organization it calls the MAP Support Club, an unregistered group which claims to provide ‘peer support’ for pedophiles, and invites ‘minor attracted people’ aged 13 years old and up to participate in online chats about ‘minor attraction.’”
MAP, meaning Minor-Attracted Persons, is the preferred woke euphemism for pedophiles.
But it’s not just the IRS.
Prostasia is registered with Amazon Smile and has an official Amazon wishlist at the site. It’s also registered through the Fidelity Giving Marketplace and Benevity Causes. Benevity partners with companies like Coca Cola, Levi Strauss, Microsoft, Google and Starbucks to direct donations to charities. It’s unknown if any of these companies have allowed employees to funnel money to Prostasia. The pedophilia organization even has a corporate brochure that boasts that it is “engaging with diverse stakeholders whose voices are not normally heard.”
It neglects to mention why they might not be heard.
Guy Hamilton-Smith, a former board member at Prostasia, was on the sex offender registry over possession of child pornography.
Noah Berlatsky, Prostasia’s communications director, tweeted that, “Pedophiles are essentially a stigmatized group.”
A general manager at Prostasia allegedly posted, “I look at (legal) pictures of naked children, I fantasize about things I can’t have. I even bought a doll. Lot of good that did me. The idiots didn’t create the orifices needed and I couldn’t do anything about that.”
Other personnel at the pedophilia group have been accused of sexual misconduct with children, promoting or producing pedophile content, or defending pedophiles on social media.
Prostasia has previously faced IRS complaints over its nonprofit status with no results.
As the David Horowitz Freedom Center has documented in “Internal Radical Service” by David Horowitz and John Perazzo, the IRS has allowed a variety of leftist organizations to violate the tax code and even criminal laws without any response or investigation, even while targeting conservative and other politically dissenting nonprofits like Christians Engaged.
To the IRS, pedophiles are more acceptable than conservative Christians.

Nearly every article I read makes me believe we are near the “end time”.
Cat says
Shocking but I’m getting too numb to be shocked.
Of course this should not be tax exempt nor “researched” by public institution like SUNY.
The use of euphemisms should be outlawed! Adjectives too. They can describe any heinous act as sympathetic, any violence and cruelty as rights of a woke victim group that is simply disenfranchised or “drenched in negativity” …..or something.
Forget the sticks and stones saying. Language can harm and kill!

Unreal and evil
FatherGuido says
The world is an evil and corrupt place. Time for another flood in my opinion. But we as believers in the Almighty must stay strong. Take strength in the words of the Lord. Keep your word true and raise your children in the righteous path. Do not concern yourself with what the wicked do, they will get their just deserts. Concern yourself with raising your children knowing right from wrong, good from evil, and to recognize those who wish them harm. Also yourself, you must see the evil as well.
Daniel Greenfield says
The world has always been full of evil. Our mission in this world is to push back on it and not let it win.
Lightbringer says
Perhaps the most dangerous emotions we can indulge in are tolerance and compassion. In some cases it is appropriate to apply these filters to objectivity, but one must remember that they are filters and keep us from seeing reality. “I just want to be fair,” or “How would I feel?” are phrases that one should apply with caution before making any decision.

Once again the Internal Robbery Service provides the enemy with tax payers cash they steal from us every April 15th

a good way to look at nonprofits is as a taxpayer-subsidized infrastructure of the Left
Pete B. says
Amen brother ! The wisdom proffered by the Freedom Center is second to none.
The stench from the bench was bad enough, but now it’s become the stench from the entire administrative state including it’s proxy NGOs that represent the taxpayer-funded metastisization of the deep state cancer.
Dan Foster says
What does that say about FPM? It’s registered as a 501(c)(3) organization. Hell, DHoe got COVID bailout money from Trump along with other fascists. FPM also flagrantly violates 501(c)(3) regulations by using its bandwidth for personal enrichment (hawking books, garbage pamphlets).
FPM is no different than Alex Jones and not even he’s stupid enough to claim tax exempt status.
Ugly Sid says
No date tonight, Dan?
Well, there’s FPM and porn.
Like every night.

This is sick stuff subsidized by the IRS

That’s rich coming from the clown who willing works as part of a movement chocked full of sexual predators.

Many years ago, in the city and country of San Francisco CA, the public library was allowing the pedophile group NAMBLA to use one of their conference rooms for monthly meetings.
This went on for several years. When the citizens of San Francisco found out they were outraged. Why? Because ………………
…………….. NAMBLA was using the conference rooms for free.
San Francisco’s outrage had nothing to do with the fact that practicing pedophile were being granted legitimacy by the city and country, but only because they were not paying rent on the room.
Tex the Mockingbird says
How long before the Internal Robbery Service be paying off Rapists and Antifa/BLM Slugs?
Mark Luhman says
Are you sure the Feds or Dimms not already doing that now? January 6 certain has all the hallmarks of an FBI operation with the cooperation of Antifa. The people that did the actual damage had were dressed in black had backpack mask and helmets with knee and elbow pad. My belief is Antifa has bed co-opted by the Dimms and are now their brown shirts.

They and the present administration of “Bite-Me” already do…Come-On, man, according to, “Bite-Me”, as long as it passes the “sniff test”, everything and anything is A-OK!!
Dan Foster says
Well, they give tax exempt status to mega churches so they’re already backing rapists.
