A Place for Paedophiles is a British documentary that was televised on 19 April 2009. Produced and presented by Louis Theroux, the documentary ran for 60 minutes,[1] and took place at Coalinga State Hospital, a mental hospital in California for sexually violent predators.[2][3]

Reception

[edit]

The programme was widely praised for its approach to the subject of paedophilia.[4][2] Leicester Mercury called the programme "a brilliantly-made, well-observed documentary. Fascinating, not sensationalist or sympathetic."[5]

In 2010, Theroux received a Royal Television Society's award in the best presenter category for the documentary.[6][7]
