10 Famous People You'll Be Shocked To Learn Were Total Perverts

2. Lewis Carroll - Child Pornography

It's fair to say that when you think of Lewis Carroll, you think of a man who gave the world the classic tale of Alice In Wonderland, or perhaps, at a push, the man who got out of his mind on opium, and then wandered around Sunderland. Both are pretty much accurate. What you probably don't consider is that Lewis Carroll is a man who has a reputation which has been plagued by accusations of paedophilia, or, more specifically, creating child pornography. Both before and during Carroll's literary career, he discovered a talent for creating pictures, but rather disturbingly, almost every single one of those pictures was of a very young girl, who was almost always nude. Biographers the world over have speculated that Carroll could very well have been a paedophile, even if a celibate one, but it is the fact that he also worked as a teacher which provides an extra chilling level of discomfort to his character. The most justice the we can do to Carroll is that he maintained until his dying day that his interest in children was purely aesthetic and for artistic purposes. Biographers have again moved to say that although this may have been naive of him, his peers were found to agree that his fascination with children had come hand in hand with a lack of interest in the real world; this suggests that Carroll have had paedophilic tendencies, even if he didn't want to acknowledge them, let alone act upon them.
