Was Lewis Carol a child molester?

Question

I love Alice in Wonderland, recently I read a book about Lewis Carol where the writer says that Alice really existed and Lewis was a child molester, is that true, this books is a non-authorized biography of him and Alice.

Answer 1

That is a theory - but there is no substantial evidence.

Alice did really exist - but it is highly unlikely he mollested her.

Molestors usually try to hide their indiscretions - not write about them publically.

Someone said the same thing about J.M. Barrie (writer of Peter Pan) - but it's just crap to sell books.

Answer 2

The problem with history/speculation after someone is dead is that they arent around to defend themselves.
The Davinchi Code claims Davinchi was a homosexual.
There is no credible evidence. about Lewis Carol. It has no more meaning than if I said he kicked every dog and cat he saw.
To quote Marvel comics Stan Lee "Nuff said"

Answer 3

Strange that most contributors had heard, knew, or thought,he was a child molester but not heard, knew, or thought that he was a priest in the Church of England or that he was a learned professor of mathematics. Interesting to see what lights people's fires!

Answer 4

I don't know about child molester, but I know he did drugs, and he was on drugs while writing Alice in Wonderland.

Answer 5

While I think he may have thought about young girls with a passion people consider men to have for only adult women, he never impurely acted out on these thoughts. Most people consider this to be quite disgusting. However he wasn't sick, just in love. And he used this strange love to write his stories.

It really makes you think.
