"The LA Times recently ran a story about the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit, which contained a mind-boggling statistic: of the more than 100 offenders the unit has arrested over the last four years, "all but one" has been "a hard-core Trekkie." Blogger Ernest Miller thought this claim was improbable. "I could go to a science fiction convention," he explained "and be less likely to find that 99+ percent of the attendees were hard-core Trekkies." While there may be quibbling about the exact numbers, the Toronto detectives claim that the connection is undeniable. In fact, Star Trek paraphernalia has so routinely been found at the homes of the pedophiles they've arrested that it has become a gruesome joke in the squad room. (On the wall, there is a Star Trek poster with the detectives' faces replacing those of the crew members). This does not mean that watching Star Trek makes you a pedophile. It does mean that if you're a pedophile, odds are you've watched a lot of Star Trek."

This is a very strange story indeed. Ellen Ladowsky reports for news.yahoo.com Daniel Ream comments: "Unfortunately, you're all missing one very big element here: The Toronto Sex Crimes Unit/Sexual Exploitation Squad lies like a rug all the time about their busts. They've become masters of manipulating the fact that no one will call them on their exaggerations for fear of being labelled pro-pedophilia. read on...
