BBC uncovers list of over 300 individuals linked to '70s child sex advocacy group, raising safeguarding questions.

A BBC investigation has uncovered a list of over 300 individuals linked to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), a 1970s group advocating for the legalization of sex with children. The list, held by the Metropolitan Police for 20 years, includes addresses and reveals that some members may still work with children, though no abuse evidence has been found. PIE, founded in 1974, disbanded in 1984. Around 45% of listed members had connections to crime reports or obituaries, and nearly 70 were in roles involving children. The discovery raises questions about historical cover-ups and current safeguards.
