A US accountant is running for Congress while claiming it is all fine for adults to have sex with children – even 10 year-olds.

Nathan Larson says he is an open supporter of paedophilia and thinks it is OK for men to have sex with kids.

The 37-year-old accountant says he is running as an independent for a US House seat in Virginia's 10th congressional district.

In an astonishing interview with a local news station, he says there needs to be one thing in place, marriage.

He told WJLA that he doesn't have a problem with paedophilia and added: “Like, if it's in the context of a marriage, then it, I think it's usually fine."

In the phone chat with the station's Tim Barber, he was asked if there was some sort of age limit.

Barber asks bluntly: “Even if you're 10?"

The would-be politician responds: “Yeah, I think it would be fine. Probably."

The Huffington Post has also reported his campaign website shared an IP address with chatrooms that talked about paedophilia and raping women.

The politician's views are reminiscent of calls made by in the 1970s in the UK by Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), which campaigned to legalise child-sex.

What was the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE)? The Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) was a pro-paedophile group which launched in the 1970s. For a decade it attempted to make its vile views accepted by the mainstream. The sinister network for child abusers advocated the relaxation of the age of consent and said children as young as four. It argued they should be able to make their own decisions about sex. A damning report later sparked a national outcry against PIE – and forced the ­organisation to disband. It was disbanded in 1984 after a series of arrests and convictions of leading members.

WJLA reports Larson in the past has admitted a court charge of threatening to kill the US president.

He went to prison, but had his voting rights restored in 2016 when then-Governor Terry McAuliffe restored voting rights for felons.

This isn't the first time Larson has run for office, reports Fox.

His platform in the past has apparently included legalising child pornography, repealing women's right to vote and abolishing state funding for girls to attend high school and college.
