    Seems like it's a lie.

    As a PHD student he spoke at a conference that was called B4U-ACT which is clearly supposed to be about preventing acts of pedophilia through social and clinical means.

    He's written about it since too and it seems to be a case of the argument he's making being an uncomfortable one (it is) and perhaps too sympathetic sounding for most people (it maybe is); basically there are people attracted to minors who don't commit acts of pedophilia, the social stigmas of this stop these people seeking help which exacerbates the problem etc.

    Here's a sparse but more nuanced Pink News article on it.
