__NOTOC__'''Geoffrey Leonard''' (born 10th January 1934) is an Australian former Barrister, writer and amateur philosopher who began writing on [[boylove]] after being convicted for voluntary sexual activity with a 16 and a 13 year old [[boy]] in 1990. He is known for having given a series of explosive TV interviews following "controversies", seemingly brought about by the complainant family's presence in his community and his publishing activities, which included a website. He is regarded as a cult figure in Australian folklore, lives in Hornsby, NSW, and has published numerous books in which he opposes the use of sex laws except in cases of violence.<ref>[https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Search/Home?lookfor=author:%22Leonard%2C%20Geoff%22 List of publications]</ref>

==Famous interview and meme==

In 2005, Australian Broadcaster Channel 9 pursued Leonard after it was discovered he was living in the same community as the family who complained about his relationship with the two boys. The resulting interview, in which he and his dog were dramatically chased by interviewer Ben Fordham and his sound man, became an internet meme over the coming years, earning him the nickname "crazy pedophile". Later pieces focused on his online publishing activities. Leonard had previously been accused of loitering near choirboys at St. Andrew's Cathedral and sending a book he wrote called ''Sex and Gender'' in 2001 to a 16 year old boy. In Australia, convicted sex offenders are prohibited from loitering near schools or places that are frequented by children. These accusations were later determined to be unfounded, although he was nevertheless banned from church.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210726120157/https://www.smh.com.au/national/freed-pedophile-defends-boy-sex-20050112-gdkh5b.html Freed pedophile defends boy sex]</ref>

A YouTube channel going by the name of ''Not Geoffrey Leonard''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qCa88MfyWoTzqRIyqvU6g NGL YT Channel]</ref> has since carried out a series of candid and sometimes surreal interviews with the elderly [[Minor Attracted Person|MAP]], revealing his human side. Leonard is thought to be suffering from dementia in his advanced years and is unable to give interviews for his many fans.
