I wouldn't give him the satisfaction (dead or Alive) of taking this money. Taking it would have only helped him possibly free him from the guilt of his crimes (if he ever felt guilt), and if I had a daughter going to this Girl Guids Group I would remover her imeidately.

they could accept it ,and then donate it to a charity that deals with rape victims or a support group/s for paedophile victims after all the world association of girl guides and girl scouts (or WAGGGS..had to laugh at that)isn't short of a bob or two

Its not blood money unless it was earned through something like child pornography or other illicit means.
I'd take the money and either spend it where it was intended or break it down and donate much smaller amounts over about 10 different charities. I certainly wouldn't reject it.

It is easy for the daughter, in these circumstances to contest the will. I would have thought that Sky News would have reported this if she was doing so. This inclines me to assume their reporting of the story is not as accurate as it could be.

Tori Dante, Forester-Smith’s daughter – now aged 42 with her own children – embraced religion with her husband to help rebuild her life, waiving anonymity to publish a book in 2002.

she has refused any comment and wanted nothing to do with her father after he branded her a "liar" ,so i would assume from that she doesn't want to contest the will nor does she want any of his money

If the money had been earned from activities linked to his paedophilia I'd agree, but it appears unlikely that this is the case.

agreed ,he was a society photographer in the 70's

How can he feel guilt if he is dead.

It may not be that simple. If those charities accepted the money, it may damage their public image to be seen to be accepting money from paedophiles. If their public image is damaged, then they may lose more than the value of the donations.. Just imagine the headlines if some of the tabloids got hold of it..

"Charity accepts money from Paedo"..
