A petition of more than 72.000 people was presented to the Dutch government in 2011 calling for a ban on Martijn -- an association which lobbies for the social acceptance of sexual relations between adults and children. http://www.france24.com/en/20120627-dutch-court-bans-child-sex-lobby-group
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A Dutch court outlawed a pedophile
association Wednesday, saying its promotion of sexual contact between
adults and children breaches the country's generally accepted moral
values.
The civil court in Assen ordered the association, called Martijn, to immediately be dissolved.
The court said in a statement that Martijn is a threat to public order because it "glorifies sexual contact (between adults and children) and presents it as something that should be normal and acceptable."
