A German politician [Dagmar Döring, FDP] has withdrawn her candidacy for next month's general election after an essay she wrote in favour of legalizing paedophilia was unearthed as part of an investigation. [...]

In the 1980 text she wrote that she had experienced a situation where, "no man and no woman, rather a child, in particular a girl," could satisfy her needs. Then just 19 years old, Döring said she was afraid of the law which punished the "love between adults and children", and said she wanted "to do everything to change such laws."

In a statement on her website over the weekend, Döring said: "My attitudes and political activities in certain organizations are from today's viewpoint completely unacceptable and were a grave mistake. I distance myself in all clarity from all texts and political activities of this early chapter of my life."
