Sixty-five-year-old Gary says he has been happily married to his wife Tabitha for 11 years. The former teacher is a father of three and grandfather of 10 and once was a foster parent. He is also a self-described “virtuous pedophile.” He says he is attracted to girls as young as six but insists he’s never acted on his urges during his adult life.

“I’m sexually attracted to little girls but I’m trying not to abuse them,” Gary says. “I am doing my best to avoid having sex with kids at all costs.”
