Tom Reeves: A National Spokesman for Boy Love (and the RSOL)

On December 2, 1978, Tom Reeves of the Boston-Boise Committee convened a meeting called "Man/Boy Love and the Age of Consent." Approximately 150 people attended. At the meeting's conclusion, about thirty men and youths decided to form an organization which they called the North American Man/Boy Love Association, or NAMBLA for short.

Thirty four years later and NAMBLA is arguably still the most well known pro-pedophilia advocacy organization to ever exist; except today NAMBLA's founder is now dead.
Tom Reeves life can best be described in a nutshell as a life long effort to legalize the sexual abuse of children, we've prepared a time-line chronicling Reeves life:

Even before the formation of NAMBLA, Reeves was openly describing himself as a "Boy lover."

21 April 1978:

Reeves, a history professor at Roxbury Community College, says he is the group's only "boy lover"

"I feel It is important to say it is possible to be a man and have a variety of relationships with adolescents, including sex, and still be an ethical, upstanding individual."

After the formation of NAMBLA, Reeves took on a very public role inside of NAMBLA as their national spokesman:

October 13 1982:

A male homosexual organization that supports sexual relations between men and boys held its annual national meeting in Philadelphia last weekend, despite opposition from a local coalition of youth-protection feminists and homosexual groups.

The North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which was founded in Boston in 1978 has a nationwide membership of only 600, was concerned about the opposition because it feared violence, not from these groups, but from anti-homosexuals.

"There is a tripe whammy against (the organization)," Thomas Reeves, a national spokesman for Boy Love, said in a telephone interview last week.

In the mid 90's Reeves was involved in NAMBLA as their strategist and as a contributor to the "NAMBLA Bulletin."

August 23 1994:

Tom Reeves, a leading strategist for the organization and contributor to its newsletter, "NAMBLA Bulletin," explains that a lot of people aren't aware of NAMBLA's mission. "Our purpose is not to get our hands on a bunch of 14-year-old boys," he says "The primary issue is political-to change laws about age of consent."

In the late 90's it was obvious that despite years of campaigning NAMBLA had nothing to show for their efforts. It was time for a new, more-moderate approach: a petition was formed titled "A Call to Safeguard Our Children and Our Liberties". The petition, which would later become known as the "Petition to Reform Sex Offender Laws," was first posted on the pedophile message board, BoyChat:

June 07, 1998:

Participants included women who are incest and sex abuse survivors, NAMBLA members, anti-censorship and civil liberties activists, feminists, gay and lesbian people, health-care workers, church activists, peace and social justice activists, academics, and those who work with prisoners.

SIGNED:
Tom Reeves, social science professor;

That effort went nowhere fast. It appears not many people wanted to advocate for pedophiles calling themselves "NAMBLA members" and "Boylovers". In 2007 a new attempt was made. Using the old "Call to Safeguard Children" except any references to pedophiles were removed and suddenly they found their niche. Suddenly they found lots of people, mostly women who were more than willing to support pedophiles as long as they didn't call themselves "NAMBLA members" and "Boylovers". The sad fact is though that many of them knew. That is the true horror of it. They knew who they were working with.

Now thanks to this idiot, we can include another chapter of Toms life, one which we've suspected for quite some time. You may know him better as "Alex Marbury":

I am very saddened to inform you to our good friend Tom Reeves (aka Alex Marbury) died today in his hospital bed in Baltimore.

February 19, 2012:

Alex Marbury was the very heart and soul of RSOL during its formative years. He loved RSOL and its people and, in turn, was the recipient of much appreciation and affection. Hundreds of those now connected to RSOL were first welcomed into the organization by Alex in his role as email contact and member of the Admin Team.

Not only had the ReformSexOffenderLaws petition been created by pedophiles from NAMBLA, the ReformSexOffenderLaws organization was being run by the same person who had founded NAMBLA and has been one of NAMBLA's key figureheads.

Today the ReformSexOffenderLaws best kept secret has been made public in all it's deceitful glory. Obviously some members of the RSOL were already well aware of this ugly fact, but despite their knowledge of Reeves' history, continued to mislead others with claims that they weren't associated with pedophile activists:

RSOL does not condone sexual activity between adults and children in any way, nor does it condone any sexual activities that break laws in any state. RSOL is not affiliated with, nor do we support or condone, NAMBLA, Boychat, Girlchat, or any group with similar positions on age of consent or related behaviors.

It isn't that the RSOL is affiliated with NAMBLA, the RSOL IS NAMBLA. It is a side-branch. It is a NAMBLA project. It is succeeding at what NAMBLA itself always failed to do: get people who weren't pedophiles to advocate on behalf of pedophiles.

The RSOL was founded by the very same person who founded NAMBLA. He never renounced NAMBLA and remained involved with both organizations until his death.

I Can Feel Your Anger

"I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete."

Return of the Jedi

Sex offender defenders have never understood why their language is so offensive to victims of sex crimes, and shocking to those who have not previously been exposed to them. It isn't shocking to victims however - they have heard it all before - usually from the time they were first victimized.

We might wonder why they continue down this self-destructive path when they know - they've been told - how offensive they are. But there's really no need to wonder, we know what the problem is. At their deepest core they blame victims. They hate victims. That's it. Plain and simple. Despite their denials they are just a bunch of demented blame-gamers incapable of seeing past their own predicament and intent on finding someone else to blame for it.

When these blame-gamers are accused their response is always that they've been taken out of context or they say they didn't mean it the way we took it. But the truth is that they did mean it and they just didn't like being called out for it. The truth is that they are so accustomed to hearing this type of language which has become the norm for their groups that they don't even notice when one of them does it.

Take for example Debby Gwaltney AKA Lynn Gilmore, the new CEO of Sosen

"My hubby and I don't feel any animosity towards the victim"

Animosity towards the victim? How generous of her! And yet she does blame her using typical sex offender defender rhetoric.

"I figured, well, it's a low-level crime, after all, the girl was known in the community as being a sexually active teenage girl."

and

"I was told she had something of a reputation."

Despite Debby's claims that the only reason her husband's risk level was raised was because he committed his offense outside the home, the truth is that there were multiple reasons including that he refused treatment, admitted being sexually attracted to teenagers and blamed his 14 year old victim. "She was promiscuous", he said.

Debby claims to have been molested as a child and that her mother did the very best thing she could have done which was to put Debby in therapy and keep the abuser away from her. Does Debby know that her abuser didn't turn his attentions on someone else? Really?

Over two-thirds of offenders who reported committing incest also report they assaulted victims outside the family (English et al, 2000)

Debby says she feels re-victimized when someone says she was a victim of child sexual abuse. The only person I've seen talking about Debby's abuse is Debby. However, if the mere mention of what happened to her is such a trigger for her I wonder if she can even imagine the trigger for victims when they hear people like Debby - who aren't speaking on behalf of victims but on behalf of those who created victims - blame victims, minimize crimes and suggest that victims be treated like perpetrators?

"If offenders are made to undergo a lengthy process of assessments, evaluations and questioning, why aren't the victims?"

What exactly would you be doing a "lengthy evaluation" on victims for? To try to prove they aren't really victims? I do believe they get enough of that already. It is one thing to offer resources to victims to help them deal with their trauma, but Debby wants to treat them as criminals. She says victims should be forced to testify, apparently oblivious to the fact that they do if a case goes to trial. But most prosecutors will grant a plea bargain not only to save money but to prevent further trauma to the victim. Debby feels re-victimized when someone says she was a victim of child sexual abuse, and yet she has no clue regarding the difficulty of reliving an experience not only in front of the person who offended against you but also a room full of strangers - something many victims just don't have the strength to do.

"when you label someone a victim, then THAT is the thing that is victimizing them all over again"

Debby would have the offender walk free unless the system was willing to re-victimize the victim and she says all this in an article about re-victimizing victims! I think I don't believe Debby was a victim at all.

Debby Gwaltney goes on (this person who says doesn't feel like a victim) to report what victims want and what they would choose should they be given a choice.

"Counseling for both the abuser and the abused is truthfully all that is really necessary in most cases"

and

"If law enforcement considered the feelings of the victim there wouldn't be so much fear to report the abuse"

Some victims may not report because they are afraid of what may happen to their family but to apply that generally is an overly simplistic and short-sighted view. The truth is much more complex. Here is one explanation

"Sex offenders typically seek to make the victim feel as though he or she caused the offender to act inappropriately, and convince the child that they are the guilty party. As a result, children often have great difficulty sorting out who is responsible for the abuse and frequently blame themselves for what happened. In the end, fears of retribution and abandonment, and feelings of complicity, embarrassment, guilt, and shame all conspire to silence children and inhibit their disclosures of abuse" (Pipe & Goodman, 1991; Sauzier, 1989).

Not content with merely blaming victims or arrogantly stating what victims want and do not want, Debby Gwaltney also believes she knows how they should recover. Debby, like all defenders of child rapists believe that recovery is merely a choice.

"Just because someone was a victim once does not mean that they have to spend the rest of their lives as a victim"

Debby Gwaltney - Sosen CEO

"I choose to be a survivor, not a professional victim."

Linda Pehrson - former Sosen CEO

"I am not no snot-nosed, teary-eyed victim"

Mary Duval - former Sosen CEO

"Parents are passing their warped views on to their children. Children are taught that anything inappropriate that happens to them is the fault of someone else. "

Shirley Lowery - former Sosen CEO

"permanent victim-mode"

Derek Logue - convicted child molester

"there IS help out there, they don't have to stay this way"

Kevin Meier - convicted child molester

"Recovery is something that depends solely on the victim's desire to become a survivor"

Shana Rowan - Sosen

"It's a choice. to get on with life. One of the problems with having a victim mentality is that we tend to blame every thing that goes on in life to our being sexually abused."

Rod Wagner - convicted child molester

"those of us who've been victims have the POWER to choose just HOW and in what WAY it's going to affect us. We are doing no one, child or adult victim of sexual abuse, any favors when we pity them TOO much."

Jackie Sparling - wife of sexual predator

And yet, a recent report that studied victims over a period of 23 years made the same conclusion that everyone already knew. (Except those who want to minimize sexual crimes of course) That the effects of child sexual abuse can last a lifetime - and not because the person chooses that result.

The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Southern California and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and tracked a group of girls who had been sexually abused ranging in age from 6 to 16 at the start of the study for the next 23 years. They found that compared to a control group of girls who had not been sexually abused these girls had altered brain chemicals among other things.

As children, they had higher levels of cortisol, the so-called "stress hormone," which is released in high levels during the body’s "fight or flight" response. But by about age 15, testing showed that cortisol levels were below normal, compared to the control group. Lower levels of cortisol have been linked to a decrease in the body’s ability to deal with stress, as well as problems with depression and obesity. Lower levels of the hormone have also been linked to post-traumatic stress disorder.

“The cortisol levels (of some study participants) wound up looking like Vietnam vets,” says study co-author Dr. Frank Putnam, professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. “That tells us they are in a chronic state of stress, and never feel safe.”

During the last assessment, when study participants were in their 20s, their cortisol levels remained lower than the control group, on average. “That tells us their stress response system is burned out,” says Putman, which could explain why some are doing so poorly in life.”

The long-term effects of the abuse “were absolutely profound,” says lead author and child psychologist Penelope Trickett, USC professor of Social Work.

The researchers hope that study data are used to develop more comprehensive treatment programs. “What is clear here is that abuse is not something that’s a one-time fix,” says Trickett.

Many victims have lifetime effects, some don't. Implying that having long term effects is somehow a failure on the victims part is downright repulsive. And as we can see from this study the effects have an actual physiological basis. Baby raper defenders claim that victims CHOOSE to stay "victims" How DARE they? How DARE Sosen and their Nambla affiliate RSOL?

They don't want victims to have a voice in the justice system. They want them to be invisible, unseen and unheard. Silent. To sex offenders and their apologists the effects victims suffer are nonexistent or the fault of the victim. They attack victims maliciously, they demean and mock them, they spew venomous hatred and anger towards them and then blame them for their own bad behavior. They repeatedly show their ugliness in all it's vile glory - and wonder why people despise them so. They behave like animals, it is no wonder people believe them to be - along with their skanky wives and mothers who exhibit the same thinking errors and revolting treatment of victims.

Do not expect a new and improved Sosen. This new CEO is just as bad as all the others. Just like Shirley Lowery, Linda Pehrson and Mary Duval - Debby Gwaltney is a blame gamer. She also tells lies.

But we'll get to that later.

"People forget that the impact of abuse does not stop when the abuse stops."
