Self-proclaimed pedophile moves to Oregon

McClellan back in the Northwest
PORTLAND, Ore. - Jack McClellan, the self-proclaimed pedophile who used to live in Washington state and was kicked out of California, has moved to Portland, Ore., citing its reputation as a "haven for offbeat people."
McClellan told The Oregonian newspaper he will no longer take pictures of children because he now "sees it from the parents' side."
McClellan's was identified in Washington state as the creator of the Web site that discussed public places where pedophiles could go to watch girls, such as parks, libraries and fast-food restaurants.
The site angered parents, and one school sought a no-trespassing order against him. He left Washington in May and headed to California to restart his Web site. But his Internet service provider took down his site.
Parents in California recognized him from anti-pedophile organizations, and he soon faced a civil lawsuit seeking to block him from approaching anyone younger than 18.
He was arrested for violating the restraining order, although those charges were dropped. He then headed to Oregon.
"There's really no place left for me to go," McClellan told the newspaper.
Though the 45-year-old claims he is sexually attracted to girls, he said he has never molested one. McClellan said he started the site as a form of therapy.
By publicly announcing his move to Portland, McClellan said he wants to pre-emptively blunt efforts to "out" him by those who track his movements. Moreover, he said the media attention will help protect him from harassment.
Sgt. Brian Schmautz, spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau, said the media alerted police to McClellan's move to the city. Because he is not a convicted sex offender, McClellan does not need to register with authorities, Schmautz said.
