What did they do? Couldn't find anything on Google.

Helmut Kentler led a study that basically consisted of placing orphans and foster kids with people known to have pedophilic tendencies. He then encouraged the pedos to "introduce the kids to sexuality," which he viewed as the proactive parent's role.  


In 1970, he published this:

&amp;#x200B;

&gt;"Parents must be made aware that a good relationship of trust between children and parents cannot be maintained if children are denied the satisfaction of such urgent needs as sexual ones."

  
Which sounds abhorrent but not terrible, until you get to his thoughts on sexual assault of the young in his book *Parents Learn Sex Ed*:  


&gt;"The wrong thing to do now would be for parents to lose their nerve, panic and run straight to the police. If the adult had been considerate and tender, the child could even have enjoyed sexual contact with him"

  
This was published not as the journal of some cray-cray, but as a peer-reviewed longitudinal study in psychology. Policymakers in Germany and France took that to heart. Pedophilia was largely and systematically covered up, as any laws against it were seen as regressive, "behind the times" based on the research of the day.   


By the late 80s most of this was already unthinkable again.
