A trustee of the charity Mermaids has resigned after reports he spoke at a conference organised by a group that promotes support for paedophiles.
Dr Jacob Breslow quit the transgender children’s charity after the Times revealed he had attended the B4U-ACT conference in 2011, as a PhD student.
B4U-ACT calls for paedophiles to have the right to live “in truth and dignity”.
Dr Breslow is an associate professor of gender and sexuality at the London School of Economics (LSE).
LSE said: “We have been made aware of a presentation given at an external event in 2011 by a then graduate student, now faculty member of LSE. We are looking into these reports.”
