Liberal ACLU to Defend NAMBLA Child Molesters

BOSTON -- The American Civil Liberties Union will represent a liberal
group that advocates sex between men and boys in a lawsuit brought by
the family of a slain 10-year-old.

The family of Jeffrey Curley of Cambridge said the North American
Man/Boy Love Association and its web site which is now off-line
incited the attempted molestation and murder of the boy on Oct. 1,
1997.

One of two men convicted in the killing, Charles Jaynes, 25,
reportedly viewed the group's web site shortly before the killing, and
also had in his possession some of NAMBLA's publications. Also
convicted in the killing was 24-year-old Salvatore Sicari.

The ACLU said the case, filed in federal court in mid-May, involves
issues of freedom of speech and association.

"For us, it is a fundamental First Amendment case," John Roberts,
executive director of the Massachusetts branch of the ACLU, told
Boston Globe Wednesday. "It has to do with communications on a web
site, and material that does not promote any kind of criminal behavior
whatsoever."

ACLU officials said NAMBLA members deny encouraging coercion, rape or
violence.

Attorney Lawrence Frisoli, who represents the Curleys, said he is glad
the ACLU is defending NAMBLA, because he has had trouble locating the
group's members.

Harvey Silverglate, an ACLU board member, said Wednesday that the
group's attorneys will try to block any attempt by the Curleys to get
NAMBLA's membership lists, or other materials identifying members.

The ACLU also will act as a surrogate for NAMBLA, allowing its members
to defend themselves in court while remaining anonymous.

According to the Globe, NAMBLA officials in the past have said their
main goal is the abolition of age-of-consent laws that classify sex
with children as rape.

At two separate trials last year, prosecutors said Jaynes and Sicari
were sexually obsessed with the boy, lured him from his Cambridge
neighborhood with the promise of a new bike, and then smothered him
with a gasoline-soaked rag when he resisted their sexual advances.
They then stuffed him into a concrete-filled container and dumped it
into a Maine river.

Sicari, convicted of first-degree murder, is serving a life sentence
without the possibility of parole. Jaynes' second-degree murder and
kidnapping convictions enable him to seek parole in 23 years.

The Curleys last week were awarded $328 million by a superior court
jury in a civil suit against Jaynes and Sicari
