Society would call them paedophiles. They call themselves girl-lovers.
They have a website where they write about their sexual attraction to little children - and there is nothing the law can do about it.
The website describing ways to love teen and pre-teen girls and promoting a way to "emancipate" them was launched recently.
Internet law expert Reinhardt Buys says it may be offensive but it's legal.
'They are predators and they have money' "Free speech does not only protect good, healthy and legal speech, but also untrue and unpopular expressions," he says.
But paedophile expert Marcelle Londt says that regardless of whether it is legal or illegal, it is extremely dangerous.

"This is exactly the way paedophiles operate. They will start with a hands-off approach, painting a veneer of legality over what they do. Then they will move to another website, making contact with a child.
"They are predators and they have money. I have no doubt that paedophiles will use this website," she adds.
The chatroom claims to be devoted to the "exquisite delights of girl-love".
Participants on the site are warned not to identify themselves in any way "as law enforcement agencies and self-styled child advocates, whose sole mission is to harass members of the girl-love community", might read the messages on the site.
They are also told that no requests to meet under-age participants in real life will be allowed.
"Our quest is to emancipate girls of all ages and girl-love in general. It is a multilingual celebration of the exquisite delights of young girls and teenage women," the site says.
"True emancipation begins neither at the polls nor in the world's courtrooms. It begins in a child's sublime assent to becoming self-actualised with the keen-eyed help of a loving mentor (gardener) who is willing to carefully fertilise and tend the growth of the emotions, spirit and intellectual flora of the garden of a child's soul.
