Jefferson Poland

John Jefferson Poland (born July 12, 1942) is the founder of the Sexual Freedom League, and a registered sex offender.

exual Freedom League

In 1963, he founded the Sexual Freedom League in New York City. He then moved to the San Francisco Bay area and focused his organizing efforts at the University of California, Berkeley. Poland founded various chapters, including ones in the East Bay, San Francisco, Berkeley and San Diego. However, he did not run these organizations himself. He would found them and then turn them over to others to run them.

Poland first made national news in August 1965 with the "Nude Wade-in" he led with Ina Saslow and Shirley Einseidel at Aquatic Park, a public beach in San Francisco. This event was reported in the "San Francisco Chronicle" and "Time".

He turned over his archives to the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley, where they are now available for public viewing by academic researchers.

ex offense, flight, and name change

In 1983, Poland was charged with child molestation. Apparently, in 1980 a nudist couple had entrusted Poland with the care of their daughter while they were attending a swinger party while nude sunbathing on Black's Beach in La Jolla, a neighborhood of San Diego. Years later, the couple's daughter accused Poland of having performed cunnilingus on her while her parents were away.

Poland fled the country and he lived for five years as a fugitive in Australia. In 1988, he was extradited back to the U.S. By that time he had changed his name legally to “Clitlick.” He pleaded guilty to “lewd or lascivious act with a child”, a felony. He served about nine months in San Diego County Jail.
