The North American Pagan community is in shock today as Kenny Klein, popular Pagan musician, is being charged with 25 counts of child pornography. When the police raided his home, Kenny Klein allegedly admitted the computer was his, and he had downloaded and shared photos of children under the age of 13 having sex.

Kenny Klein is known throughout the North American Pagan community as he played at many of the larger Pagan festivals for many years.
Personally, I am extremely upset by the news. In my books there is nothing more disgusting than a pedophile is. I loved Kenny Klein's music and respected him. I feel betrayed and I am angry that he would bring such darkness to a very loving community.
A big huge hugs to Pagan near and far.
What should be done? That's a hard one. He certainly needs help and we certainly should not ignore, hide or cover up what happened. It certainly is a reality check. Just because someone is Pagan/Wiccan, doesn't mean they are good.
I think the community needs to come together, give what support to each other that we can, and do what we can to send healing and love to his victims, and to Kenny. Obviously, Kenny Klein is sick and needs some help.
It is a sad day, but one we will recover from. It is not because Kenny Klein is Pagan that made him a pedophile, it is because he is sick.
