PAN (Paedo Alert News), subtitled "A Magazine about Boy-love," was a pedophile newsletter started by [[Francis Shelden]] in [[Amsterdam]] under the pen name "Frank Torey." The name PAN was a reference to the son of Hermes in Greek myth, signalling the publishing legacy Shelden continued abroad. Just as [[Hermes]] was used in North America to facilitate [[John David Norman]]'s [[Odyssey Network]], PAN was used to platform its European equivalent called [[Spartacus International]]. The first edition of PAN was published in 1979 through a publishing house owned by [[John Stamford]], a British foreign-national and defrocked Anglican priest who fled to [[Amsterdam]] in 1972 after being charged with operating a child pornography service through the mail.[^1]
