Peter Sotos Quote

Peter Sotos (born April 17, 1960) is an American writer and musician who is best known for his books and for being a member of the British noise music band Whitehouse. He gained notability following his 1985 arrest on child pornography charges related to his zine magazine Pure, which made Sotos the first person charged with child pornography in Chicago, Illinois.
In his books, Sotos writes about sadistic sexual criminals and sexually violent pornography in great detail, particularly involving children. His books tend to be first-person narratives, taking on the point of view of the sexual predator in order to explore sadistic and pedophilic sexual impulses. His former publisher Adam Parfey has described one of his books as "transcripts of horrifying, embarrassing human degradation." He often writes about real-life child sexual abuse cases as well, including the kidnapping, rape and murder of 8-year-old Melissa Ackerman and the kidnapping and sexual exploitation of 5-year-old Masha Allen.
