Australian Gay-Marriage Crusader Was Fugitive Wanted on Kiddie Porn Charge

Posted on | May 14, 2016 | 91 Comments

The fugitive Matthew Hynd with his lover Ali Choudhry in 2013.

Matthew Hynd, who made headlines in Australia as a supporter of gay marriage, was a fugitive from justice, wanted in the United States on child pornography charges. Hynd was sentenced to more than six years in federal prison earlier this month, after having been deported last year from Australia, where he had started a business and, along with his Pakistani boyfriend, campaigned for gay rights.

“In 2010, while Hynd was living and working in Albany, FBI Agents executed a search warrant on his home, after Hynd distributed child pornography images over the Internet,” the U.S. Department of Justice said in a press release. “Agents found hundreds of images of child pornography on Hynd’s computers. Hynd then fled the United States and returned to his native Australia.”

Hynd had been a professor at New York’s SUNY Albany Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, but became addicted to both methamphetamine and child pornography, his lawyer told Judge Mae D’Agostino at a May 3 sentencing hearing. U.S. prosecutors described Hind as “manipulative and attempting to falsely blame a friend for the child pornography,” according to the Australian News website:

Three days after the search warrant was executed [in 2010], Hynd bought an airline ticket to fly from New York to Casablanca, Morocco, and the next day he boarded the flight.
He left his job in Albany without providing notice to his employer and prosecutors said flight records showed Hynd “travelled around the world before landing in Australia, where he is a citizen”.
Hynd was indicted in the US in 2012, extradited from Australia in August 2015, and entered guilty pleas to distribution and possession of child pornography charges. . . .
Judge D’Agostino ordered Hynd also serve a lifetime term of supervised release after he leaves jail and to pay $US1000 in restitution to one of his child pornography victims.

However, as activist Luke McKee reported on his @VGB_OPSEC Twitter account, Hynd had become something of an LGBT celebrity while a fugitive in Australia. In March 2012, he and his lover Ali Choudhry were featured in a profile story in the Brisbane Courier-Mail after they were granted a civil union license in Queensland, which was voided in a controversial act by the province’s conservative government.

 

The couple later made news because Choudhry, who had come to Australia on a student visa in 2009, was facing deportation to his native Pakistan. In a 2013 profile at the Australian LGBT site Same Same, Choudry described how he met Hynd:

As with all great modern romances we met online, in February 2010. I was studying in Australia and Matt was working with the New York State Department of Health. Over the next few months we spoke on the phone, texted and Skyped — which is harder than it sounds because of the 14-hour time difference.
In August of 2010, Matt came on a holiday back to Australia where we were able to finally meet in person. We knew right then and there that it was meant to be. After a lot of thought, Matt quit his job and moved to Australia in December 2010. On February 13, 2014 we will celebrate our four-year anniversary.

Choudhry’s claim that Hynd came to Australia “on a holiday” when, in fact, the professor was fleeing federal charges in the U.S., raises the question of whether Choudhry knew of Hynd’s interest in child pornography, and possibly shared it, since their online “romance” occurred during the months immediately preceding the search warrant that prompted Hynd’s flight. Yet the fact that Hynd had been indicted in the U.S. was not known to the Australian LGBT activists who supported an online fundraising appeal Choudhry and Hynd made in 2013:

That appeal (“Support Love – A Gay Love Story”) raised more than $6,000 — easily doubling their original goal — and in 2014, Choudhry was granted an extension on his visa. Meanwhile, Hynd had started a business, Slurp Tea, that got publicity in Brisbane media:

The report of Matthew Hynd’s sentencing in the Courier-Mail this month made no reference to his high-profile past as “Chief Tea Guru” and a prominent gay-rights activist widely covered in Australian media.

Nor is this the first time Australia’s media has promoted pedophiles in the name of gay rights. In 2010, the Australian Broadcasting Company featured a story headlined “Two Dads Are Better Than One” about Peter Truong and Mark Newton, who said their son was conceived in 2005 with the assistance of a Russian surrogate mother. Three years later, however, Truong and Newton were convicted of sexually exploiting the boy:

Police believe the pair had adopted the boy “for the sole purpose of exploitation.” The abuse began just days after his birth and over six years the couple travelled the world, offering him up for sex with at least eight men, recording the abuse and uploading the footage to an international syndicate known as the Boy Lovers Network.

Another prominent gay activist, former University of Southern California Professor Walter Lee Williams, was sentenced to five years in prison in 2014 for “flying to the Philippines and sexually assaulting underage boys he had met online.” Williams had been a fugitive in Mexico but was apprehended in 2013 after being named to the FBI’s Most Wanted List:

Recognition for Williams’ educational work included the USC General Education Outstanding Teacher Award in 2006. But his academic work was a cover for his criminal activity, according to prosecutors.
Williams taught anthropology, gender studies and history at USC for about two decades until he quit in 2011. Under the guise of academic research on sexuality in the Southeast Asia/Pacific region, he repeatedly traveled to the area, prosecutors said.
Federal prosecutors alleged that the author and Fulbright Award winner used those trips to sexually assault underage boys. Investigators believe he has at least 10 victims across Southeast Asia, aged 9 to 17.
Williams engaged in Webcam sex sessions with two boys, aged 13 and 14, in the Philippines in 2010, prosecutors alleged. The next year, he traveled to the country and sexually assaulted both boys and a 15-year-old boy, according to the plea agreement.
While there, he also had sexual contact with three other 16-year-old boys, records show. When he returned to Los Angeles International Airport on Feb. 11, 2011, he was stopped and child pornography was found on him.
The professor fled Los Angeles a week after being interviewed by the FBI. An attorney for USC last year provided the FBI with materials the professor donated to the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives that contained “lascivious visual depictions of minors,” according to the plea agreement.

Professor Williams was co-editor of a 1997 book, Overcoming Heterosexism and Homophobia, and also co-edited the 2003 book Gay and Lesbian Rights in the United States: A Documentary History.

    There’s plenty wrong with that and I blame TV for softening the facts about Homosexuality and other perversions.

    It’s not right that a group of people can drastically change a culture by putting on a TV show.

    That’s propaganda and something should be done to control it.

    (Don’t ask me what because the 1st amendment protects that stuff. Maybe our so called conservatives in DC could do something or at least sponsor some educational programs to counter act the lies)

    Yes, The key point to remember here is that the photographer admitted @DFAT in order to get his visa application that he was in a long-distance-relationship with Dr “Jeckle” Matthew Hydn since 2009 i.e. 4 years before their 2013 Visa application. The INFANT SEX child porn was downloaded by Matthew in 2010. Therefore Ali the Muslim photographer who got a child porn fugitive to sponsor him for his visa MUST BE DEPORTED from Australia on CHARACTER CONCERNS GROUNDS as per Australian immigration law. Someone start a petition. Maybe we too can get 143,000 signatures to get him deported.
    Watch the gays campaign to keep him in the country..

    Massive scandal just broke last night in Australia too Bill and you are talking to the source! You just gotta see this!

    Australian Gay Marriage activists child pornographer got all the gay media, Australian Marriage Equality, The Greens Sarah Hanson/Lee Rhiannon, Getup -130,000 signatures the ABC to support him over-rule immigration and get a visa for his photographer Pakistani Muslim boyfriend.

    On top of all that, all this gay activism got them $6.2k

    Same videos on crowd funding site removed from you-tube as of this morning – all data backed up by yours truly. Nowhere to hide buddy!

    This will sink the Gay Marriage in Australia. This is the Second time that ABC Queensland gave a platform to a paedophile, and this time the gay activist seeking the limelight was on the run from the FBI Since 2010, Interpol Warrant Since 2012, praised by the secular left in 2014.

    Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) made a televised appearance announcing his intention to bring some Syrian jihadis into his state, avoiding being upstaged by Senator Kirsten Gillibrands (D-NY) announcement she wanted 1.5 million Syrian jihadis brought to her state.
    Blumenthal appeared alongside the state’s CAIR representative and took on the same visual aura as the old North Korean televised confessions of US POWs confessing their war crimes in front of the cameras. You could even make out the outlines of the CAIR campaign donation checks stuffed into the Senator’s suit pockets.

    A little postscript on the second case you mentioned, the reporter who did the original ‘2 dads is great” story shows how much sand got in her gears over the outcome of the story.
    You will note in the end she learned nothing, her devotion to leftist groupthink makes it impossible for her to process the reality she saw.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-10/gorman-second-thoughts/4809582

    She suppressed her natural judgement because that would make her a “hatey, hater’

    n 2010 Ginger Gorman interviewed a gay couple about their struggle to become parents. When the men were uncovered as paedophiles Gorman was left with a deep sense of grief for the boy and questioned whether there was anything she could have done.
    …

    The more I researched, the more compelled I was to cover the issue. This struck me as a significant opportunity to explore diversity in our community and hear the voices of those who usually aren’t heard. While we don’t always get it right at the ABC, we try to reflect a complex, changing society with many faces.

    I wrote an open letter to Far North Queensland’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community asking for people to come forward with their stories
    ….

    From the scores of emails I received, I chose nine different stories. One of those was from a gay couple: Mark Newton and Peter Truong. In the email, they outlined their yearning to become fathers. The pair went on to describe how, after a great deal of difficulty, they eventually had a child via surrogacy in Russia. And that is how I found myself on the doorstep of a well-groomed Northern beaches home in June 2010.

    As a reporter, you develop a pretty well-honed bullshit detector. It comes with the territory. We work at a furious pace to rolling, incessant deadlines. Often you have to turn up and make a snap judgement. We do our research but we don’t have the luxury or the ability to background check every Mum or Dad we speak to. Gut instincts are important.

    I can honestly say to you that when I met Newton, Truong and Boy 1 nothing appeared to be amiss.
    ….

    There’s another piece of my 2010 experience which is strange in retrospect, but for a totally different reason. Newton and Truong explained to me at length that it was difficult to get Boy 1 into Australia. They told me Australian customs quizzed them for hours at the airport.

    At a later date, police were checking whether the couple had suitable equipment to raise a child: a bed, clothes and bottles.

    At this point in the interview I said:

    “Do you think that there was a suspicion there…[that] this must be something dodgy? There must be some paedophilic thing going on here?”

    Newton replied: “Absolutely. Absolutely. I’m sure that was completely the concern”.

    My recollection of this moment was that both Newton and Truong were smiling at the absurdity of the idea they might somehow be suspect of something. Did these two smiles signify how uncomfortably close to the truth I was? Or were the smiles simply brazenness? I will never know.

    “We’re a family just like any other family,” Newton said a few moments later.

    Read the whole thing, its how a person who decided this was a “cause” and anyone who doubted the goodness of the 2 dads was a hatey bigot found out the people with concerns were actually right all along.

    Heres her mental escape hatch, programmed into her by her university tutors (because all our journous now undergo 4 years of “reprogramming” before they begin reporting)
    ……..
    It’s hard to sift through the online rage and work out exactly what people are angry with me about. But I did find this anonymous quote on the web:

    I think you’ll find our beef with Ginger is the same beef we have with the whole pro-homosexual agenda. They are willing to turn a blind eye to the slippery slippery [sic] slopes of this obscene lifestyle and pretend that it’s all so normal… Hate speech warning – a child deserves to have a mother and father (preferably biological).

    And that’s what the anger with me seems to come down to. Homophobia.

    Gay rights began with pedophilia. From “The Born Gay Hoax”:

    A little over one?hundred and fifty years ago, the first concept of an inborn “homosexual” condition began to circulate in Germany. Prior to this time there is no known record of any human being ever claiming to have been born with same?sex attractions. The originator of the novel concept was Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825?95). Ulrichs, the “grandfather of the world ‘gay’ rights movement” was a lawyer, political activist, and known pedophile.

    So a guy – literally one guy – who was in a feature 3 years ago turns out to be a perv and that means .. . what, exactly? All gays are pervs? The 70% of Australians who support same-sex marriage must be meth heads and kiddie porn addicts? What? What are you trying to say, Robert? The answer of course, is that you are just trying to smear by association. And it frankly does nothing but undermine the credibility and effectiveness of this blog. A gay marriage advocate could just as easily point to Josh Duggar – an executive at the Family Research Council who diddled his sisters and tried to arrange kinky adulterous affairs on Ashley Madison. And they could point to a senior attorney of Alliance Defending Freedom who was convicted of producing porn using an underage girl. Does the disgusting conduct of Duggar and the ADF attorney mean that opposition to gay marriage = perversion? I guess so, according to McCain. Live by the smear, die by the smear.

    Homosexuals are, by definition, perverts. Any sex outside of a marriage between one man and one woman is, by definition, perverted. You may not like that, but that’s just too bad. We don’t cut any slack for Duggar as what he did was just as wrong.

    It’s a little disturbing that she managed to highlight this couple who really were a pair of pedophiles. If everything really were so right and good, how is it that this ‘exception’ stumbled out of the woodwork? Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to reexamine some of the other ones she interviewed?

    Exactly, Duggar is a pervert too. I for one, tend to be wary of people who get up on television to preach about their way of life. Whether it’s Caitlyn Jenner or the Duggars there’s something off about them if they are so desperate for eyes into their lives.

    Well now, that’s a nice stack of fallacies and emotional misdirection but I have a few minutes.

    The 70% of Australians who support same-sex marriage must be meth heads and kiddie porn addicts?

    did Mr. McCain say or imply that?

    More importantly: Who cares what percentage of people agree or disagree with anything?

    Public opinion polls, regardless of accuracy do not represent truth. Public opinion is highly manipulated in modern culture. Usually this is to get you to buy stuff you don’t need, but more covertly to perform social engineering. The latest social engineering effort is the promotion of homosexual “marriage”.

    As Edward Bernays said in the opening paragraph to Propaganda (1928):

    THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
    Emphasis added

    If you’re sympathetic to Leftist writing try reading Noam Chomsky’s 1988 book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. Which continues and expands on Bernays and Walter Lippman’s century-old work on advertising and public opinion manipulation.

    Duggar reference is misdirection via tu quoque and maybe false dichotomy.
    People using those honeypot sites such as Ashley Madison or Fling are wrong as are those who promote sodomy.

    IMHO It’s a continuation of Wilhelm Reich’s ideas of sexualizing children, although I’m not as well read as our host and other regular commenters here.

    For some interesting reading check out European Green Party kook Daniel Cohn-Bendit and his connections to pedo-promotion in the 1960s-70s. Even Cohn-Bendit’s Wiki bio admits his promotion of pedophilia in the 70’s.

    Is anyone suing Kohn-Bendit for his “erotic encounters with five-year-olds in his time as a teacher in an anti-authoritarian kindergarten.” (quote via linked Wiki bio)

    I think it’s less about the rubbish on TV (which my family hasn’t watched for nearly 15 wonderful years now) and more about the fact that sexual deviancy is no longer considered a mental illness, which, of course, it is. When this fact is widely accepted – and it used to be – then pro-deviancy television is easily seen for what it is.

    In fact, when you go a long time without TV, then you go someplace where there’s TV on, it’s pretty shocking, and the propaganda is easily discernable. Because I have corporate marketing experience, I know that the shows are simply a draw for the commercials. So take note of which companies are running commercials during the most objectionable programs and think about what that says about those particular companies. Maybe perhaps reevaluate your relationship with certain businesses.

    I hate words that end in “phobia” (unless they pertain to actual mental conditions involving unnatural fear, which of course has nothing to do with so-called “homophobia.”)

    When I was raising my daughter my TV broke when she was six weeks old. We just did not by a new one. Turns out it was the best decision I ever made. About 8 years ago hubby and I dumped all cable TV. We do have Netflix ans that is it. We watch a lot of old black and white movies.

    The homosexual Chad Sevearance-Turner who started the Charlotte bathroom bill is also a convicted pedophile. Chad Sevearance-Turner is one of those people who suggest that gender and sexual “identity” is like a “spectrum”, meaning he thinks he and like-minded people ought to be allowed to do anything they want, including fondling boys while they sleep. http://keepmyncsafe.com/charlotte-lgbt-chamber-president/

    Being proggies, they at least have to be careful in concealing their true goals.

    Because, face it, “We’re going to dispossess and enslave everyone! And then, the camps and mass murders!” is a hard sell.

    Oh it is just you. That picture is supposed to illustrate the beauty of homosexual love and prove that they’re all “just like us.”

    Homophobia is a remarkably ignorant word. For one thing, logically it would mean “fear of the same.”

    For another, it covers anything from physical assault to mild discomfort.

    And finally, as you note, a “phobia” is a disabling psychological condition.

    In most ancient cultures (that I am aware of anyway) homosexuality was a more or less opportunistic matter. Even in Sparta, where it was enshrined in their universal male military training, men were expected to marry and raise families to porduce more Spartan soldiers.

    It’s akin to the odd fact that nearly every high profile case championed by SJWs turns out to be a hoax, from “Hands up, don’t shoot” to “Jackie’s” RS rape fantasy, and passing the “one in five” and “gender pay gap” myths along the way.

    If things are as dire as they always claim, why do they need to invent fake evidence? Heck, you could even include the George W. Bush TANG story – you spent how many years on this, and the only proof you came up with are these childishly phoney documents? Oh hell, throw in the “Hockey Stick graph” while you’re at it.

    Why can’t you argue your case without lying?
