Craig blames hackers for ‘kiddy fiddling’ tweet

Wed 22 May 2013 In: New Zealand Daily News

Conservative Party leader Colin Craig claims hackers are responsible for a tweet that came from his account, stating ‘gay activists’ approve of same-sex ‘kiddy fiddling’. “According to the gay activist community, under age sex or kiddy fiddling is ok as long as the child is the same sex as the perpetrator,” was tweeted from his account. He then told media he believed a hacker had gained access to his account. He says a ‘security investigation’ is now underway. The tweet has been deleted. While it’s not clear what the allegedly hacked tweet was referring to, there has been widespread debate about charges laid against a Miami 18-year-old for her sexual relationship with her 14-year-old girlfriend, as you can read here.
