Neopaganism's most prominent conviction, reported by the Pagan community's own press: 'An Orleans Parish jury found musician and Blue Star priest Kenny Klein guilty of child pornography charges' — 'one count of pornography involving a juvenile under the age of 13, and 19 counts of possession with intent to distribute pornography involving juveniles under the age 17.' Klein had been a founding elder of the Blue Star tradition of Wicca for decades. That the community's own journalists covered the trial gavel-to-gavel is a mark in the community's favor — the same internal accountability this survey's conclusions call for everywhere.
