A Pedophile website has managed to stay online despite the ojection of thousands of parents. This disturbing website geared towards little girls, tries to convince them that it is okay to be in romantic and physical relationships with adults.
Ed Smart father of Elizabeth Ann Smart, Gina Eaton mother of Katie Eaton and Senator Barack Obama are just some of the many parents upset over Lindsay Ashford’s Pedophile website.
Lindsay Ashford is an pro-pedophile activist. In a 2004 e-mail interview published on nj.com Ashford stated, “I am tired of being forced into the shadows by society.” Lindsay Ashford name use to be David Alway until he changed his name to Lindsay Ashford in 1989.
Ashford claims that children and adolescents are capable of being informed, consenting sexual partners. Further he believes that children who are exploited by adults don’t suffer any ill effects.

Efforts are underway to try and shut down Ashford’s Puellula web site that describes itself as ‘A Celebration of the Splendor of Little Girls.’ The petition that seeks to ban all websites which promote pedophilia already consists of 1,553 signatures at the time of writing this post . With all ready 1,553 signatures on the petitions, there is nothing legally that can be done. Law enforcement and the FBI already frustrated by the site are stating that the site is completely illegal.
The site includes articles about pedophiles, claims that pedophilia is a sexual orientation, and resources for pedophiles. The sugar and spice portion of his website is a sick attempt to groom little girls for adult/child sexual relations. In 2005, Lindsay Ashford’s missing children’s website came under criticism by reporters. Gina Eaton’s daughter, Katie Caudill, was one of the girls featured on Lindsay Ashford’s website. The missing children website has tributes to girls across the country who have been murdered. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has also expressed outrage over the website.
XS4ALL Internet abuse department has stated that the only way they will shut down Ashford’s website is if law enforcement tells them to. Ashford is not ignorant of the law either. In fact, he invites people to turn his site in to
law enforcement.
According to KTRH News recording artist Petra Luna is asking Myspace users to band together to get search engines like Yahoo and Google to exclude sites like Ashford’s.
Parents may also be shocked to know that Lindsay Ashford is also a active editor at Wikipedia, using the online allies Zanthalon.
Parents take this disturbing site as a warning that Pedophiles are online and may be grooming your child.

Rose,
Oh boy.. I am sickened and outraged. How can something like this be possible? How is it that this person is not in jail?
I normally don’t say things like this.. but there is an especially hot place in hell for Lindsay Ashford.
I just don’t get why there needs to be petitions. Why can’t there be something done legally? This is obviously criminal activity. The sickies on Dateline do less than this and still, thankfully, get arrested and put away.
I do agree with one thing though. Pedophilia is a sexual orientation. It’s also a sick crime and mental illness. The reason I say that it is a sexual orientation is because I don’t believe that pedophiles can be rehabilitated. They are “wired” differently than normal people. Just as if someone has a specific sexual fetish or preference, it can’t be unprogrammed. Therefore I believe that people convicted of crimes against children and that includes Lindsay Ashfors, should be put away for life. There is no ‘fixing’ their problem. Even if they serve a jail term they will always have the urges and the potential to harm children.
I fully believe that laws need sweeping reform in regard to what we do with criminals who harm our children. A person who rapes or molests a child spends less time in jail than a person who rapes an adult. Where is the justice? A rapist is a rapist, throw them in jail and lose the key! When the crime is against a child, throw them under the jail and forget them entirely.
People who harm and exploit children infuriate me. This guy, from reading your article, seems to want to train new child molesters! He needs… well he needs something terrible to happen to him.
this is disgusting and apalling……Rose
I have shown this to my 16 year old daughter (who has a my space site)….she is disgusted too !!!
thanks for posting this information…..
I will post your link on both my sites…..
I’m furious. I wonder how it’s possible this guy (or whatever he is) is still running free and not in jail.
Hope this animal pays his crimes as he deserves.
Best wishes,
Jon
Gerri, I feel sick knowing that there is so much of this stuff out there. But according to law enforcement he has not broken any laws.
Petra is trying to introduce a bill that would become a Federal Law which
would cut off accessibility to such pedophile sites.
As for those on Dateline, they did not get put away. Dateline To catch a predator was nothing more than a reality show that paid a civilian group a lot of money and in the end 20 men walked free.
Kim, , MySpace, has detected and deleted 29,000 convicted sex offenders from Myspace.
So hard to believe he isn’t breaking any laws.. it’s vulgar and repulsive.. should at least fall under obscenity laws. Of course I haven’t visted his site, I’m basing my opinion on what you reported. No way I want that kind of stuff in my browser history! So he doesn’t actually have child porn, so that’s why he’s within the law? I thought the laws prohibited any child being shown in a sexual way.. to my understanding it would mean even if a little girl is clothed if she was shown doing something sexually suggestive it would be a violation of child porn laws. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the laws though. I try to stay as far away from this kind of thing as possible.
If you think Lindsay Ashford is bad, I’ll be blogging next about Jack McClellan.
