Convicted paedophile Douglas Slade sued by alleged Filipino victims
8 hours ago
A convicted British paedophile is being sued for damages by five young people who claim they were sexually exploited by him overseas, in what is thought to be the first case of its kind.

The five will give evidence to the High Court via video link about abuse they said they suffered while Douglas Slade was living in the Philippines.

Slade says the claims against him are a "total fabrication".

Slade was jailed for 24 years in 2016 for abusing five boys in the UK.

The judge in the case said Slade, who had been extradited to the UK the year before, was "wholly unrepentant" over the offences that he had committed between 1965 and 1980.

Slade was a founder member of the Paedophile Information Exchange and actively campaigned for sex between children and paedophiles to be legalised in the 1970s and 1980s.

Tuesday's case starting in London is believed to be the first time alleged foreign victims of sexual abuse, said to have taken place abroad, have brought an action against a British national in the UK.

Why was he allowed to travel?

WTF. There is worse. This is the story of Douglas Slade and the Paedophile Information Exchange. It is vile. Words fail me.
It's shameful that he was not locked up a long time ago.

Never mind being sued, he should be handed over to the harmed parties families for justice.

What’s stopping every poor family in the country from suing for damages for alleged rape? Is this the new normal, sentence people then sue them again and again? Strange approach to justice.

This seems like the "total fabrication, some sort of extortion" angle is not so believable.

The judge said he was boasting about it. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-36602256
