Man with PIE links jailed for abuse

A former racing driver linked to the Paedophile Information Exchange – which campaigned for sex with children to be decriminalised – has been jailed for five years.

Christopher Skeaping, 72, was convicted of indecently assaulting a 15-year-old boy in the 1980s. At Bristol Crown Court, Judge Euan Ambrose said: “[The victim] said you spoke openly about being into sex with boys; you couldn’t understand how it was a problem that older men would want to have sexual relationships with children.”
