[10 News] Remember this freak from this past week?A university professor in Virginia has announced they'll resign in the wake of threats made over their recently published book.
Allyn Walker, who uses the pronouns they and them, is an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University.
Walker's book includes interviews of more than 40 adults who are sexually attracted to minors.
The book argued that destigmatizing that attraction would allow more people to seek help and ultimately prevent child sexual abuse.
At least it wasn't a pop-up book, Amirite?
| Professor Walker is the one who introduced us to the destigmatizing term minor-attracted persons for the traditional Latinate p3dophile. |
The preface to Walker's book says they were not downplaying sexual abuse against children or trying to normalize it.
Walker was put on leave after reaction to the book led to safety concerns on campus.
Walker will remain on leave until their contract expires in May 2022.
