Ernst Wilhelm Julius Bornemann (12 April 1915 – 4 June 1995),[1] also known by his self-chosen anglicisation Ernest Borneman, was a German crime writer, filmmaker, anthropologist, ethnomusicologist, psychoanalyst, sexologist, communist agitator, jazz musician and critic.
In 1988, Ernest Bornemann argued that pedophilic acts involving neither physical nor psychological violence did not necessarily have negative consequences for the child.[2]
