US Prison Bureau Suppresses Study Strongly Linking Child Pornography to Child Molesters

From LifeSiteNews:
Shocking discovery - more than 85 % arrested for possession or distribution admitted molesting at least one child

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Federal Prison Bureau has a new study indicating that 85% of convicted consumers of child pornography may have sexually molested a child. However the New York Times reports that the federal agency has suppressed the publication of the report out of concern that the public will misinterpret its conclusions.

The Times reports that the unpublished research was conducted by psychologists at the Federal Bureau of Prisons and that it constitutes the first in-depth survey done by prison therapists of online sexual offenders' history - everything from indecent touching to rape. The therapists were actively performing treatment.

The report was to be published in the Journal of Family Violence until Judy Garrett, an official with the Prison Bureau, requested in April that it be withdrawn saying the report did not meet "agency approval."
"Agency approval"? The Department of Justice - working to protect American citizens...
