“This essay…begins by tracing the chronology of Project Guardian
from its origins as a local investigation of a so-called ‘kiddie-porn ring’ to
its eventual expansion into a ‘crackdown’ on various illegal forms of
consensual sex between men and male youths above the age of consent.
The author investigates how categories like ‘pedophile,’ ‘kiddie porn’ and
‘child victim’ are constructed, reproduced and legitimated in the media in
the service of a moral panic around questions of gay sex and knowledge,
youth and HIV infection” – abstract, p. [65].

Tom

brief
“called the investigation a witch hunt designed to portray gay men,

establishing
Project Guardian, proved not to have existed.” See also
