J. Darling devoted 12 years of his life to the love and care of boys in the Third World. In this vivid, tender, highly erotic, and sometime humorous account, Darling depicts the difference between loving and exploiting Third-World boys in boy-love "scenes" from Asia to South America.
Quote: Former public schoolboy and ''brilliant scholar'' James Fraser Darling told a court in Thailand today,
that he bought a paedophile publication by mistake thinking it was a book of short stories for children.
''I kept it,'' he said, ''because I am an educator and teacher. Very little on the subject is known and, as
an educator and teacher, I should know something about this.'' Mr Fraser Darling, 47, son of Scottish naturist
and ornothologist Sir Frank Fraser Darling, and brother of Richard Fraser Darling, a leading Foreign Office diplomat,
denies 18 charges of separating sea gipsy boys from their parents and committing indecent offences with them
while employed as a teacher at the Prince of Songkhla University, on the Thai island of Phuket. Repton-educated
Fraser Darling told the court he did not play sexual games with the boys, aged eight to 14, who he accompanied
on boat trips from Rawai Beach to nearby ''hermit'' islands in the Andaman Sea. He claimed the boys,
many of whom swam and ran around naked, befriended him and begged him for food as he sat at
a beachside restaurant on the holiday island. ''My feeling for these children was one of extreme compassion
and a desire to help them in the small way I could. So I fed them if I was eating in a restaurant,
or would by food for them at the village shop. ''I started buying them clothes, but stopped because
they discarded them and never washed them. I took one to hospital and paid for his treatment after
an accident with a motorcycle. The children often had skin infections and head lice, and some had worms,
so I bought them the cream and powders and medicine. ''I took them on the boat trips because they lived
in a dirty slum and I thought I could give them one day a week away from that slum.
The parents always knew. The parents gave them permission,'' said Mr Fraser Darling.
