    Very apt name for the pervert.

    FEAR IS THE OLDEST TOOL OF POWER. IF WE ARE DISTRACTED BY THE FEAR OF THOSE AROUND US THEN IT KEEPS US FROM SEEING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE ABOVE US.

    us brits us the word 'Roger' as slang for shagging, so the name "Roger Boyes" on an article about peodophiles has to be a joke

    I don't think so, considering he's a real person:

    And I've never heard of the "Roger" slang, either.

    Sorry mate... Yeh, "roger" is another for "shag"... ie: sex...


    eg: "I'm going to roger you senseless". So a paedophile might "roger boys"... Hence the commit value of the article!
