Even 2013, in Europe and the United States of America, despite some horrendous insights into paedophile gangs/cults operating in sleepy towns of Wales or northern England, many officers in law enforcement, child welfare, the media, and the judicial process simply refuse to accept that there are elements of society who are committed to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual destruction of children.

“It is a sad fact that there are a number of individuals who engage in systematic, secretive and prolonged sexual abuse of children and we are pleased that the offenders in this sordid case (Chris & Clare Godson) have been brought to the attention of the public by your WHISTLEBLOWER Blogs.
A number of our members have had contact with Chris Godson and been threatened by Godson with legal action for withdrawing from fosse septique contracts when they discovered his previous history of abuse. We are now taking every possible step to warn our membership about the possible consequences of involvement with the Godsons in Benevent l’Abbaye.”

” We are trying to ensure that we minimise the opportunity, in the future, of offenders of this
type operating in the secretive and damaging way that these two offenders have done”.

“I believe this cult/prayer group was just a cover up for them to act out their sadistic pedophile fantasies. They seemed very organized. I suddenly feel very ill when I think of that time in my life!”
Email received on 13/10/2013.
“When you have met as many sex offenders as I have, you know that they do tend to be of a certain “type. Usually a combination of very dirty, greasy, foul, smelly, creepy, inadequate, waster…………………………… I met Godson recently in Bourganeuf and he fits the image perfectly. I told him I would think about his devis.”
Email received on 13/10/2013.
These recent emails should be a thunderous WARNING to the Godsons about their “activities” in the USA, Ireland, Thailand, Cambodia and now France………..
Your evil is catching up with you!
The children you have hurt and abused are putting together an enormous file of testimony about your crimes.
Imagine the shock at news of a predatory paedophile cult operating behind the doors of seemingly normal houses (imagine the shock in Benevent l’Abbaye about Chris and Clare Godson)………..
Most people with their history of abuse and cruelty would hide under a dung heap rather than advertise their services in every ex-pat journal!
The Godson continue their shameless and defiant search for cash cows in the Limousin. They continue their endless quest for vulnerable pilgrims wandering into Benevent l’Abbaye.
Unbelieveably, in a famous beauty spot one of our correspondents encountered advertisements for the Godsons nailed to the trees! Our excited correspondent was delighted that he had taken his walking stick with him and removed each eyesore with pleasure. The cheek of the Godsons!
Hopefully, the “writing is on the wall” for the cult run by Chris and Clare Godson in Benevent l’Abbaye! New cult members, often deeply troubled teenagers and children, were forced to go through an elaborate initiation ceremony. The Godson threatened terrible retribution if “secrecy” was broken.
I must say that we are all feeling very optimistic that the cruelty and abuse perpetrated by the Godsons on the vulnerable, young people, and helpless children may finally see a bit of jail-time/mental health provision for Chris and Clare Godson. Our investigation suggests contacts, links, and the free adoption of abusive methods between these cults.
I think it is fair to say that this investigation must send a shiver of fear down the spines of Chris and Clare Godson.
We are now going to list (some) of the properties of this cult in Benevent l’Abbaye as an illustration of their expanding cult and scheming:
A) 2 large properties in Rue de Montlery comprising “pilgrim dormitory/self-catering annexe” and “Christian” B&B, also large semi-derelict building for cult converts/recruits/converts being used for labouring purposes;
B)large windowless property in Rue Sarrazine used by cult for unknown purposes;
C) 2 large properties in Rue des Remparts used to house converts/recruits and pilgrim gites;
D) 1 large property in Rue de la Liberte used to house senior visiting members of cult;
E) 3 large properties in Rue de la Chabanne used for housing established members and recruits;
F) several buildings in Rue Fontanier used for unknown purposes.
Despite having operated in Benevent l’Abbaye for years since 2004, the cult had seemingly gone unnoticed by the rest of this sleepy French town until our WHISTLEBLOWER Blogs exposed them.
When you key in “Child Prostitution” on Google Search you will find many organizations that are doing their best to fight this evil that exists even in small sleepy towns. It is an evil spreading worldwide and we must stop this terrible crime completely until every child is saved! As long as there is one child suffering from this horrible crime, we have not done enough!
Through the power of the Internet, the most powerful communication tool, we can educate people about what’s happening right now under their noses in Benevent l’Abbaye and how they can help in one way or another to protect these vulnerable people. An effective way to stop child prostitution is to stop the demand for it by implementing harsh punishments and empowering law enforcement agencies to have constant raids on places where there is child prostitution.
We at Kelleher Newsdesk are rapidly becoming convinced that Chris and Clare Godson are the centre of a child prostitution/abuse ring with global reach and connections.
At first, we thought it was all a local Irish (Wicklow) problem and then we discovered the USA links (the Children of God and so called Christian outreach activities) and interviewed victims. Now we are aware that this evil cult set-up has migrated to a sleepy part of Central France.
The “activities” are cloaked by a somewhat suspect “pilgrim dormitory” and “Christian” B&B.
A bit more digging and we find links to Thailand and Cambodia!
More digging and we find links to Belgian child abduction networks and notorious paedophile networks stretching as far as Norway and Sweden.
We hope this WHISTLEBLOWER Blog about Chris & Clare Godson will trigger some great ideas to stop child prostitution and it is everyone’s responsibility to stop this shameful, brutal and sickening crime!
If you are a survivor of abuse by Chris and Clare Godson (USA,Ireland, Cambodia, Thailand etc.) and would like to share your own story, whatever form your ordeal took, you can do so (under a pen name if you wish). Simply email us at: arielacohen99@gmail.com.

Anonymous comments about Chris Godson…………………………………..
Regardless of gender, children of 14 shouldn’t be consenting to sex. It should be looked into Regardless of the gender of the victims or the perpetrator.
Children should be protected. I have some sympathy though for Godson (although he is a slimeball) that enjoys having sex with underage girls the temptation is very great!
It doesn’t matter if the GIRL gave consent, she’s 14. She is not a legal grown adult at 14. You’re a pedophile if you have sex with an underage person.
Although the argument that girls mature faster than boys has its valid points,but you should still have a sexual relationship with someone your own age bracket. Having sex with a 14 year old should be life if you ask me,they are still developing physically and are clueless regardless of exposure mentally. Sex should be between life partners anyway. Yes you are a pedo if you mess with a 14 year old consent or not. You deserve the full pen experience dropping soap salad tossing and such if you mess with a 14 year old……………………………………..
Inside the Mind of a Pedophile
Posted by dlende on May 10, 2010
By Michael Cochran & Meghan Cole
Most people imagine pedophiles as ugly old men dressed in trench coats, hiding in the bushes, waiting to snatch young children off the street. However, recent television shows, such as To Catch a Predator, have exposed pedophiles as local neighbors, trusted friends, clergy, babysitters, teachers, and even family members.
Conceptions about pedophiles have been changing rapidly, and pedophilia has recently become a topic of increased awareness and concern. Not only do television shows expose pedophiles, but there are new sexual offender disclosure laws, websites that track convicted sexual offenders, and more investigations of pedophilia, especially after the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. Yet children still remain vulnerable to sexual offenders regardless of their public façade.
The increasing attention on pedophilia has caused many Americans to question what this disorder entails, its characteristics, and what type of treatment should be sought for abusers. What is pedophilia? Do people choose to be pedophiles or are they born that way? This post will address these questions.
Pedophilia
The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) defines pedophilia as recurrent sexually arousing fantasies, impulsive desires, or behaviors involving sexual acts with a child and that occur over a period of at least six months. In most cases, the pedophile is at least sixteen years of age and at least five years older than the child. Those who suffer from pedophilia have a compulsion to abuse young children.
Categorizing Pedophiles
Pedophiles can be classified in several ways. Pedophilia can be characterized as either exclusive or non-exclusive. Exclusive pedophiles are attracted only to children. They show no interest in sexual partners who are not prepubescent children. This desire prolongs even when they are not in the presence of children. Non-exclusive pedophiles are attracted to both adults and children. A large percentage of male pedophiles are homosexual or bisexual in orientation to children, meaning they are attracted to male children or both male and female children (Schiffer, 2008).
Many people assume that only males are pedophiles. However, case studies on pedophilia have demonstrated that female pedophilia does exist (Chow, 2002). Although this is a rare phenomenon, females who meet the DSM-IV criteria for pedophiles display similar cognitive distortions to that of males, such as irrational thoughts. Some differences, however, do exist among males and females. Females who exhibit pedophilia tend to suffer from psychiatric disorders or substance abuse problems. Also, there is a higher correlation between sexual abuses as a child with females compared to males.
What Causes Pedophilia?
The etiology of pedophilia can be attributed to both biological and environmental factors. Case studies indicate that cerebral dysfunction may be a contributing or dominant factor of pedophilia (Scott, 1984), including problems with self-control, extreme urges, and cognitive distortions. Many experts also believe that disorders for sexual preferences emerge from childhood experiences during critical periods in human development (DiChristina, 2009). In many cases, child sex abusers suffer from traumatic experiences during their childhood.
More specifically, pedophiles tend to also have been molested as children. As children, they lacked the ability to control the situation. By sexually assaulting children, pedophiles attempt to re-live the trauma they experienced and they learn how to master it. A complete role reversal gives them the upper hand and prevents them from being victimized. Overall, through the impact of cerebral dysfunction and traumatic development, the sexual urges and desires for children can become ingrained within a person’s nervous system.
Role of the Brain
There is significant evidence that indicate structural abnormalities in the brains of pedophiles (Schiffer, 2008). Abnormalities occur when the brain is developing and can be on-set through certain experiences, such as sexual abuse as a child. Abnormalities in the brains of pedophiles may result in compulsion, poor judgment, and repetitive thoughts.
These abnormalities in the brains of pedophiles are caused by early neurodevelopmental perturbations (Schiffer, 2008). The use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRIs) and positron emission tomography scans (PET) has revealed that the abnormalities of pedophiles exhibit appear in the frontal and central regions of the brain. In particular, there is a decreased volume of gray brain matter in the central striatum. As a result, the nucleus accumbens, orbital frontal cortex, and the cerebellum are all affected (Schiffer, 2008).
These areas of the brain play an important role in addictive behavior. The accumbens is the central mediator of reward signaling and expectation. The striatum and orbito frontal cortex control this reward system. As a result, this contributes to the etiology of pedophilia because a reward deficiency complication disturbs the neurotransmission of dopamine involved in compulsive and addictive behaviors.
Due to the frontotemporal dysfunctions, pedophilia shares neural characteristics with psychiatric disorders that fall in the range of the obsessive-compulsive (OC) spectrum. These impulsive disorders include pathological gambling, kleptomania, and even Tourettes syndrome. While some debate this claim (Schiffer et al., 2007), there is substantial evidence for the existence of physiological and genetic overlaps. In particular, studies have shown that alterations in the frontostriatal circuitry are a major abnormality leading to obsessive-compulsive behavior. Pedophiles tend to act inappropriately and exhibit poor judgment because they lack the ability to control their impulses.
These structural alterations underlie the antisocial behaviors exhibited by someone with pedophilia. Pedophiles are burdened with repetitive thoughts and urges. Consequently, they seek to fulfill these desires through behavior that is socially unacceptable and at times, even illegal. Most pedophiles express shame and guilt after partaking in their immoral behavior because their neurological dysfunctions deal strictly with urges and not emotions (Schiffer et al., 2007).
Is There a Cure?
Pedophilia, like many types of disturbances or diseases, does not have a complete cure. The sexual urges associated with pedophilia may never permanently disappear, and a person’s sexual preference and orientation can be difficult to completely re-orient. At present, treatment primarily focuses on preventing further offenses rather than changing sexual orientation.
Yuli Grebchenko, MD, has done extensive research on pedophiles. He noted that pedophilia is a life-long disorder and stated that, “It needs lifelong treatment” (Lamberg, 2005). Recent studies have demonstrated that psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy can be combined to bring about the most effective treatment to someone suffering from pedophilia (Kersebaum, 2007).
Therapy includes discussing traumatic events, especially those from the childhood of an abuser. Therapy also seeks to help patients identify situations that may tempt them to engage in harmful behaviors toward children. During therapeutic treatment, therapists may try to correct a patient’s cognitive disorder, which may include misperceptions that the child enjoyed the abuse.
The three standard pharmacotherapy treatments for pedophilia are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), and leuprolide acetate (LA) (Briken, 2003). These pharmacotherapy treatments target certain hormones and chemicals in the body, but have varying side effects. SSRIs are effective in less severe cases and patients often experience only sexual side effects (Kraus, 2007). In more serious cases, LA can reduce testosterone to extremely low levels along with pedophilic urges. While LA treatment is somewhat dangerous, it has been found to be very effective (Schober, 2005). The newest treatment drug, LHRH, reduces neural responsiveness to visual sexual stimuli and has very little side effects (Briken, 2003).
Today’s World
Most people are in denial that pedophilia exists in their community or home. Pedophiles, however, will go to great lengths to continue their compulsive behavior. They will volunteer in church youth groups, coach youth athletic teams, and find other ways to associate with potential victims. Many times, they place themselves in positions where they can easily meet children.
The Internet has become a common hunting ground to prey on children. Today more and more kids are using Facebook accounts. While Facebook acts as a social network to help link people together, the ability to create a profile displaying one’s personal information may indirectly be helping pedophiles find their next victim. Pedophiles can then befriend children and manipulate, trap, and lure their victims into a false sense of trust. Some pedophiles may pretend they are someone else, such as a classmate. Others develop friendship with children and then arrange meeting times and places so they can act upon and fulfill their sexual desires (Deirmenjian, 2009).
The Catholic Church frowns upon certain sexual behavior. Yet, priests were recently discovered to have engaged in sexual behavior with children. A great deal of hypocrisy surrounds the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. Over the course of the past two decades, the Church has struggled with confronting sex crimes committed by Catholic priests and religious orders against children. In many cases, the clergy suffered from pedophilia. These priests sexually abused minors, primarily male altar servers, and exerted power over these boys.
The children who fell victim to the clergy were easily accessible, vulnerable, and unthreatening. These priests who engaged in sexual behavior with youth should be held responsible for their actions. The Church should come forward and acknowledge this type of inappropriate behavior. They should take the proper steps to correct this type behavior and have their pedophilic priests seek treatment for their disorder.
Conclusion
Pedophilia is a complex disorder with many underlying factors. These range from dysfunctions in the development of the brain to particular traumatic experiences, such as sexual abuse or rape as a child. Despite no cure for pedophilia, measures can be taken to help people with this disorder control their urges and behavior. Society needs to be more aware of this disorder and its prevalence in everyday life. So while not all people who engage with children are pedophiles, the prominence of pedophiles across many facets of life is much greater than we think.
