Letter from 'non-offending paedophile' planted inside book at Bristol Library removed as police notified

A handwritten letter from a self-proclaimed 'non-offending paedophile' has been found in a book in College Green's Central Library in Bristol city centre. Bristol City Council removed the book yesterday (18 July) and police have been notified.

Tweets from the Twitter account 'Virtuous Pedophiles' alerted Bristol Live to the letter, which was taken to Bristol Central Library yesterday (17 July). A Twitter thread from the account, which is an organisation of 'non-offending paedophiles', detailed where the handwritten letter could be found at the Library.

Addressed 'to the Finder', it was placed in a book within Bristol's Central Library. Bristol Live this morning (18 July) alerted the Council, who have since removed the letter.
