World renowned author John Grisham under fire for comments made about the 'overzealous' prosecution of 'accidental' pedophiles.
Celebrated crime-fiction writer John Grisham has attacked America's judicial system for wrongly locking up men he believes 'accidentally' watched child pornography.
The best-selling author and lawyer - who penned novels like The Rainmaker, The Firm and The Pelican Brief - has given an astonishing interview to The Telegraph defending some child sex offenders, saying they have become victims of a legal system that has 'gone crazy'.
The 59-year-old then called for lighter sentences for those caught downloading images and videos of children being sexually abused.
'We have prisons now filled with guys my age. Sixty-year-old white men in prison who've never harmed anybody, would never touch a child,' Grisham told The Telegraph.
'But they got online one night and started surfing around, probably had too much to drink or whatever, and pushed the wrong buttons, went too far and got into child porn.'
Grisham - who is preparing to release his new tome, Gray Mountain, next week - said he feels so strongly about the issue because his friend was involved in a child porn sting about 10 years ago.
He said his 'old buddy from law school' became involved in an operation organized by the FBI in Canada. 'His drinking was out of control, and he went to a website,' Grisham told The Telegraph.
'It was labelled ''sixteen-year-old wannabee hookers'' or something like that.
'And it said ''16-year-old girls''. So he went there. Downloaded some stuff - it was 16-year-old girls who looked 30.
He shouldn't have done it. It was stupid, but it wasn't 10-year-old boys. 'He didn't touch anything.
'And God, a week later there was a knock on the door: ''FBI!'' and it was sting set up by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to catch people - sex offenders - and he went to prison for three years.'
'There's so many of them now. There's so many ''sex offenders'' - that's what they're called - that they put them in the same prison.
'Like they're a bunch of perverts, or something.
'We've gone nuts with this incarceration.'
Grisham was sure to say that he has 'no sympathy for real pedophiles' and believes anyone caught committing such a crime should face harsh penalties.
However he believes many men have been penalized too harshly for doing too little.Jacked from The Daily Mail

All I read was...... I'm a pedophile and they are locking up my friends. It has become more difficult for me to be the scum of the earth and prey on innocent children.
FOH John
Pedos gotta stick together, I guess. Watch out for John. Somebody better check HIS computer files!
I can't believe he's 59. My grandpop is 74 and looks younger than him. Rough life making up all those stories I guess
Muthafukka whut??? is this a new term "accidental pedophile" these new perverts and their trying to legitimize their fuckery. I like free internet porn as much as the next person, but when I cruise redtube, diablo babes, or any other porn site, I do not click on teen gangbangs or any fuckery involving teens. I'm grown and I wanna see grown folks fucking, not some dusty ass worn out looking teenagers, who just might be 35 yr old posing as teen. the fact it says teen makes my black ass not click, cause I don't want nobody knocking on my damn door and who downloads porn? book mark that shit!! every now and then I run across a hot porn video that makes me pinch my nipples and I book mark that shit or click and past, send to email so I can just click and watch. this damn pervert child toucher who probably will have some child touching scandal in 4, 3, 2,1. sit down John!!!
Is he fa real??? I will never read another book from this POS ever again. There's so many pedos and weird ass demonic fucks in the industry. Why the hell would you put your child in that environment? I'm sure it's like a damn smorgasbord for these bastards. And nothing ever happens to any of them. Look @ Polanski's ass....pedo/rapist and he's still considered a genius. WTF? And I won't even get into Woody Allen's neurotic ass/sick shit. All that matters is dollar signs.
this fool be telling on himself. Now will his house be raided?? No he will be called and warned to clean his hard drive.
I see his delusional ass made the mistake thinking because he's a
"beloved, respected author" he can defend this filthy ass perversion. no matter how respected you are, once its been revealed your a fucking pedo, all that shit goes out the window, there is not honor, respect of love for those who are child predators, none whatsoever so they can stop trying to legitimized their sick perversion. them and those nambla hoes will never be accepted in any civilized society. so fall all the way back with that bullshit.
