Does she really need to be ‘sexed up’ considering how sexual she already was? From the original unexpurgated edition of Anne Frank’s diary: “…Sometimes when I lie in bed at night I feel a terrible urge to touch my breasts and listen to the quiet, steady beating of my heart. Unconsciously, I had these feelings even before I came here. Once when I was spending the night at Jacque’s, I could no longer restrain my curiosity about her body, which she’d always hidden from me and which I’d never seen. I asked her whether, as proof of our friendship, we could touch each other’s breasts. Jacque refused. I also had a terrible desire to kiss her, which I did. Every time I see a female nude, such as the Venus in my art history book, I go into ecstasy. Sometimes I find them so exquisite I have to struggle to hold back my tears. If only I had a girlfriend!”
‘Sexed up’ Anne Frank riles surviving Swiss cousin

A novel for young people by a British writer about ‘the boy who loved Anne Frank’ rubs the wrong way the only surviving relative of the teenage diarist who died in the Holocaust. Buddy Elias, Frank’s first cousin and an 84-year-old resident of Basel who heads a charity in her name, tells Swisster he is upset about the book and has communicated his concerns to the author who tells him she is changing the narrative.
A Swiss cousin of Anne Frank is sharply criticizing a book of fiction that “sexes up” the life of the Jewish teenager, famous for writing a diary while in hiding from the Nazis in Holland before she died in a concentration camp, aged 15.
British writer Sharon Dogar wrote a fictional account from the point of view of a boyfriend of Frank, including graphic accounts of his desire for her and intimate scenes between the two, The Sunday Times of London reported.
Buddy Elias, Frank’s first cousin and last living relative, an 84-year-old retired actor who lives in Basel, received an advance copy of the book entitled Annexed, and was unhappy with what he read.
“I was upset,” Elias, who chairs a charity devoted to Frank’s memory, told Swisster in a telephone interview from his home.
“I told the lady (Dogar) that I did not like what I read and she told me she was going to change it.”
Teen girl pleads guilty to child porn charges
This article is dated by a couple years (will be looking into more recent news on the young woman) but worth posting for comment.
I continue to hear the clueless insist on their “tried and true wisdom” such as “women are not visually stimulated” and “pedophilia is a guy thing.”

GUELPH
Police had already arrested a Wellington County man early last year before his teenage daughter confessed the huge amount of child porn on the family computer belonged to her.
A Guelph court heard yesterday the girl, then 15, was being interviewed as a potential witness against her father when she admitted she was the one who had downloaded images and videos of children being sexually abused.
The girl admitted to police she is “sexually attracted to young girls,” assistant Crown attorney Murray deVos told the court.
The girl, now 16, pleaded guilty yesterday to possessing child pornography.
DeVos said the material was stored “in a very elaborate storage and classification system” and the girl was able to describe this for officers. Court heard police came to believe the girl’s father “probably wasn’t sophisticated enough” to have downloaded and sorted the material.
Court heard an OPP officer monitoring online file-sharing programs Feb. 28, 2007, found a user making child pornography available. Investigation ultimately led police to the accused’s father’s home, where three computers were seized.
Police ultimately found 1,578 images and 18 videos of child pornography.
DeVos said the materials depicted children as young as six or seven engaged in “a full range of sexual activity.”
The girl, sitting alone in the front row of the courtroom, leaned forward, her long brown hair hanging past flushed cheeks.
Her father, arms crossed over his chest, sat a couple of rows behind as court dealt with his daughter’s case.
The girl had earlier pleaded not guilty. Defence counsel Marten Dykstra had tried to have evidence against his client excluded, arguing police violated the girl’s privacy rights by collecting personal information from her Internet service provider.
But Justice Norman Douglas rejected this argument, saying the girl could not be protected by a contract her father had signed with the service provider.
Dykstra said yesterday once the evidence was ruled admissible, his client wanted to change her plea to guilty.
Douglas agreed to adjourn the case, ordering a presentencing report and psychiatric assessment before the girl returns to court Sept. 2.
