The author of a how-to book for pedophiles has been sentenced to two years' probation for distributing obscene material depicting minors engaged in harmful conduct, reports the BBC. Phillip Greaves was arrested after sending a copy of his guide to undercover police in Florida. The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct had sparked outrage when Greaves offered it for sale on Amazon. He will serve the sentence in his home state Colorado and won't be required to register as a sex offender. (More pedophile stories.)
