Kicking off with Dr. Michael Seto, Scientific Advisor

Well known author of "Is Pedophilia a Sexual Orientation ?"

According to the wikipedia entry:

Controversially, Seto has suggested that pedophilia can be understood as a sexual orientation with regard to age, just as heterosexuality, bisexuality, or homosexuality can be understood as sexual orientations with regard to gender.

Interestingly, his connection with THORN is not mentioned.

Seto's views can be seen from this article, Perverted Justice :

Looking forward, Seto says, “C.P. offenders are relatively unlikely to commit contact offenses in the studies that have followed them.”

But many experts do not agree with him. For example, in this powerpoint presentation Ethel Quayle. Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology.University of EdinburghVimeo, presents her findings which indicated the exact opposite:

• Internet sex offenders : Typology and Risk

A quick overview of his Twitter account gives further indications of Dr. Seto's preoccupations and political leanings.....

• The #Transgender Bathroom Debate Is About Bigotry, Not Safety https://twitter.com/picardonhealth/status/834893723808972800

• Retweet of a Smithsonian article, “What Price Do Babies Set to Deal With the Devil?”

For a grant proposal, Tasimi put a working title on this query: “What Price Do Babies Set to Deal With the Devil?”

Makes me wonder if he's the right scientist for the job ?
