This article reports on R-rated criminal behavior. The headline uses the term “minor-attracted persons” to avoid social media restrictions on the word “pedophile.”
After local outcry canceled a camp for “minor-attracted persons” set for last weekend in Vermont, several organizations are publicly defending those who declare a sexual attraction to children.
MAP Union, or MU, which represents itself as “an international organization representing the interests of minor-attracted people and their allies,” sent a statement to local reporter Guy Page protesting the camp cancelation as “bullying” and violence against “society’s most oppressed minority group.”
“While it is appropriate for law enforcement to investigate crimes when they occur, no-one should face legal sanctions for speaking freely about a sexual orientation they did not choose, nor for meeting up with others who have the same orientation,” a self-described MAP Union spokesperson, who called himself “Percy,” said in an email to Page he published Monday.
Bean noted “Percy” is “likely a pseudonym based on the 19th century English author of Mathilda, a novel about incest between a father and daughter.”
The person calling himself “Percy” also told Bean, “We hope to provide a more balanced approach to MAP advocacy than groups like NAMBLA have been able to in the past.” NAMBLA is the North American Man-Boy Love Association, which effectively disintegrated after a series of FBI stings jailed members for abusing children and trafficking in illegal abuse images.
People sexually attracted to children are typically pornography addicts who often get sent to jail for trafficking in illegal abuse images. Porn businesses are complicit, as I detail in my recent book, False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America, as they “deliberately insert transgender partners, children, and opposite-sex partners into pornography aimed at children and heterosexuals, in order to ‘see if you can convert somebody, right?’” a senior script writer for a Pornhub company disclosed in 2023.
“Many MAPs have a legitimate fear of engaging with law enforcement, even in a progressive state like Vermont,” Percy claimed. “They are all too aware of the unwarranted arrests, sting operations and other injustices that other oppressed minority groups have historically faced and are wary of even law enforcement responses that claim to be supportive of First Amendment rights.”
“We do understand the alarm among local parents, but we are extremely unhappy about non-violent MAP community members being labeled as dangerous to children,” Brian Ribbon, a cofounder of MAP Union, said in a statement to The National Desk. “The idea that these people would for some reason try to attack children at the local school is outrageous and deeply offensive.”
The National Desk article was posted on a forum called BoyChat on Sept. 23 by a user named MAP Union with the comment, “This went out to syndicated news stations around the US, gaining a lot of coverage.” Another comment on BoyChat noted the Vermont MAP camp “wasn’t intended to go public.” Yet another claimed MU would hold its own event in 2025: “Stay tuned!”
“Minor-attracted,” a euphemism for pedophile, is an alleged sexual orientation. Those who identify as “minor-attracted” often claim they do not abuse children, although many consume abuse images of real children, according to MAP researcher Allyn Walker, a transgender woman who works for Johns Hopkins University’s child sex abuse center. Making or distributing child abuse images is illegal.
Online, pedophiles also divide themselves into multiple camps, including “boy lovers,” “girl lovers,” and age divisions between prepubescent and postpubescent. They use changing terms and tags for these sexual affiliations online to avoid law enforcement while also feeding their sexual addictions.
“The majority of the pedophiles Walker interviewed [for her book studying pedophiles]–27 out of 42–identified themselves as sexually attracted both to adults and children. The same number also expressed homosexual attractions, including to children,” I note in False Flag. “Several also identified as gay or queer. Attractions to ‘younger-looking’ men are ‘normalized within gay culture,’ Walker notes, which allowed some of her interviewees to refer to their sexual orientation publicly without being clear that they meant minors.”
Locals flooded the Marshfield, Vermont town council meeting on Sept. 17 over a now-deleted website advertising a three-night “MAP camp” where campers might be “distracted by a sexy minor.” At the meeting, say the minutes, Onion River Campground owner Stephanie Jacquelyn Rieke “assured people that Onion River Campground has never and will never hold a MAP meeting. She has not given her permission for this event. She has employed someone named Mythebe and they have shared their sexual preference with her in confidence, as a friend.”
The more than 100 meeting attendees on Zoom and approximately one dozen who attended in person expressed alarm that the camp would occur next to a public K-12 school and schoolchildren frequented the camp grounds during recess and after school. State police and Homeland Security officers visited the nearby Twinfield Union School in uniform and plain clothes in the days after the meeting, according to local news and school officials.
“Jaquelyn feels that he is not a dangerous person,” say the minutes. Regardless, the minutes say, Rieke told outraged attendees that she would ban the individual who calls himself “MytheBe” from the campground.
The minutes also say Rieke publicly claimed “Mythebe” had never been at her campground, but in a public Facebook post Rieke affirmed he had. In the meeting on Sept. 17, a resident named Rachel Young, the minutes say, “stated that she was at the campground with her toddler and Mythebe was there, and Jaquelyn referred to them as her best friend, and Jaquelyn did not tell her that this person is attracted to children. She is furious.”
In 2020, the Vermont Digger reported Rieke “apologized for appearing nude in front of staff at work in 2013” at a chocolate shop she owned called Rabble Rouser. The article includes a picture of Rieke’s shop that shows a painting of a fat naked woman on the shop wall and rainbow-colored labels on some of her goods. Another photo in the article depicts a shelf full of chocolates shaped like women’s genitals, with this caption: “Rabble Rouser sells Nutty Steph’s vulva-shaped chocolates to benefit Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.”
“Rieke says that she’s a nudist who didn’t understand, when she started her business, that appearing naked in front of her employees — and discussing sexual and other topics that are inappropriate for the workplace — could traumatize them,” the VT Digger says.
A 2017 article in the Vermont publication Seven Days profiles the “Weirdofest” Rieke hosted at Onion River Campground for several years. The 2017 Weirdofest featured a five-year-old publicly performing his poem, “Captain Naked,” Seven Days reported.
After the Sept. 17 meeting, large social media accounts that include reporter Andy Ngo and LibsOfTikTok posted screenshots of the now-deleted website advertising the camp. According to the screenshots, the website advertised activities that included awards for “Most Pervy” painting, a game of “Dirty Bingo,” “discussions about MAP politics,” and “a ritual campfire.” The advertisements said risks of the camp included “tripping because you were distracted by a sexy minor.”
It also said “Leading police to the campground for any reason during MAP Camp is prohibited” and said attendees needed to be “willing to … help people evacuate to a safe location.”
On a LinkedIn page, an individual calling himself MytheBe says he lives in Vermont. “I am a radical left MAPs rights activist, and I create MAP-inclusive intersectional comic books for adults,” the LinkedIn profile states.
Ngo published a screenshot of a now apparently deleted Instagram post in which “Mythebe” says he “came out as Gay 20 years ago” and to his father in 2021 as a “Minor Attracted Person”: “I told my father I was specifically a P(censored)ile, and he was instantly accepting of me.” The individual also posted several times that he was “just out here being a positive visible role model for young M.A.P.s.”
