Stanley made a career as a New York Attorney, defending in cases that included child pornography. At one point, he was said to have defended NAMbLA.

Experience in this area lead Stanley to write articles on the subject of child pornography, notably "The Hysteria Over Child Pornography and Paedophilia" for Paidika, later published in Playboy as "The Child Pornography Myth". In the article, Stanley contended that:

"The largest child-pornography ring in the United States is run by the Government. It is possible that without Uncle Sam, there would be no child-porn business."

Unverified claims

Decidedly anti-pedophile sources allege that Stanley went on to build businesses around child pornography. Whilst Stanley is well known for the photography of girl-nudes, these claims of illegality do appear to be highly suspect.
