When I was young I was a big Piers Anthony fan. As a kid I read the entire Xanth series and moved on to Incarnations of Immortality in my early teens before branching off into his other stuff, like the techno-barbarian series whose name I can't remember. I was reading through a few of them again before I gave them to a relative and discovered something bizarre; Piers Anthony is a pedophile.
When rereading the Xanth series I noticed that they were oddly sexual, in particular he has a strange obsession with little girl's panties. I didn't notice it as a kid but the way he writes about little girls is creepy as hell. In all fairness his books are aimed at young boys so it makes a certain amount of sense to write about things that young boys are interested in. It's certainly strange that a perverted old man is intentionally giving little boys a boner but it makes sense and isn't by itself proof that he's a pedo.
Something I did notice when I read them was that every Incarnations of Immortality book had a rape scene. There was something about those rape scenes that had always struck me as odd even though I couldn't put my finger on what. Reading them again with adult eyes I finally figured it out; those scenes were eroticised. Usually when a rape scene is used it's to induce feelings of horror. Although that was nominally the point in Anthony's books from the way he wrote those I'm a hundred percent sure he had his dick in his hand.
Although that series did often feature teenagers having sex it's understandable because it takes place hundreds of years ago and the books are aimed at teens. The seventh book is a whole different enchilada though. In that book one of the main characters was a drug-addicted child prostitute. About halfway through the book this child prostitute starts a romantic and sexual relationship with a US senator. Anthony takes great pains to explain that this relationship between an adult and a child is a wonderful thing and that there's nothing wrong with it, that in fact it's evil society's fault that their love is illegal. He makes a point to stress that this pedophile politician is the only good and pure-hearted politician in America and God even comes along to promise that he's destined for heaven when he dies. At some point there's this weird time distortion thing where several years pass but it's only a day for her which makes the little girl a legal adult. She's only a day older but since she's technically eighteen now he can fuck her without it comprising his political career. All the characters approve, including God.
I know what you're thinking. “You make an amazing case Doc, but that's not enough to evidence to smear his good name with pedophile.” Well let me drop the bombshell, the smoking gun that proves beyond all doubt that Piers Anthony is a flat-out pedophile.
A lot of people don't know that Anthony writes porn. It's terrible porn, but he writes it. One of his books was called Firefly and includes a story he wrote about a man that fucks a kindergarten girl, I shit you not. He literally writes toddler erotica. In the story a little girl is asked to testify in court against her rapist where she happily describes all the fun sex they had. She thinks there's nothing wrong with it and when she find out her boyfriend is going to jail she cries and begs the court to let them be together. The prosecutor and jury all agree that the man did nothing wrong and the love between man and toddler is pure. Here's an excerpt if you think I'm playing it up.
He's also friends with a convicted child molester that's in prison for raping kids and has even published the guy's child erotica before. Case closed, dude's a pedo. I won't even get into the time a young boy ran away from home and lived with Anthony and Anthony has insinuated that he fucked the kid.
When doing research for this post I found that I wasn't the first person to notice this but there's surprisingly few people mentioning it seeing as how he's published literal toddler porn.

“I felt my place, and it was sort of slippery.
'I want to do it,' she told him.
He sort of laughed. 'Welcome to try, kid. It won't fit.'
"So I nudged up some more, and sort of sat on his thing, and it felt sort of good there, all hot and round. But it didn't go in, because it was sidewise.”
'I can't do it,' she said.
'I told you, it's too big for you. Grown women have larger places, so they can handle it, but it would hurt a little girl.'
'I want to do it,' she said again, excited. “This was where Daddy always quit, when I played with him in his lap and his thing was there, and I didn't want him to quit, and I was afraid he would. I lifted up his thing, but then it was up in front of me. I tried to lie down on top of him, so my place was in line, but I couldn't do anything that way. So I sort of got up, and squatted, like having a poop, and held his thing up straight, and sort of sat down on it, just like Daddy wouldn't let me do.”
