Police: NAMBLA Member Had Bag Filled With Nude Boy Photos
Stevenson Transported To Marion County Jail


MARION COUNTY, Fla. -- A member of the North American Man-Boy Love Association was arrested in Central Florida after a canvas bag of nude boy photos was found inside his vehicle, police said.

Investigators said Leland Stevenson was taken into custody at his Fort McCoy home Thursday after the photos were found his vehicle's trunk.

The photos depicted nude boys in suggestive poses, police said.

Stevenson has a criminal record in California for the same type of crime, according to officers.

3. I've always wondered: Why "North American"?
Is there a Central American Man-Boy Love Association that they wouldn't want us to confuse them with?

10. How are these people even allowed to keep operating?
An entire organization devoted to validating sick, abusive behavior?

Is that legal, or are they operating outside the law?

11. 'A member of the North American Man-Boy Love Association' - oh brother
So, how did the media or police know he was a "member"? Did he have a "membership card" with him?

"NAMBLA is a group that advocates the legalization of sex between men and young boys." - Where does this group meet?

Or is this some sensationalistic reporting because being a pedophile was not enough? Before anybody says I am "defending NAMBLA" (lurking GOPers), I am not. I just don't put a lot of stock in this "organization" as a real group.

13. Good question.
I think it's doubtful that the group just doesn't exist. And they have a website: http://www.nambla.org/

And an address from which you can supposedly order a newsletter of some sort: 537 Jones St. No. 8418
San Francisco, CA 94102, USA

I don't know that you can find your local NAMBLA meeting like AA or something, but they are out there.

14. Yeah, the article doesn't say HOW it was determined he was a "member"
I suppose there was some auditing on his computer or something. Else they'd just say, "Pedophile found with nude pics etc."
