January
- In the beginning of January 2016, a number of groups came forward including Reform Sex Offender Laws, Inc and California Reform Sex Offender Laws Organization to oppose the bill H.R. 515[1] known as the International Megan's Law.

The British court ruled that her original sentence was “unduly lenient”.[4]
- January 28 - In what Police are calling Operation Malaise, 13 people throughout Quebec and in Toronto were arrested, who they described as a pedophile ring, on trumped-up charges steming from "allegedly exchanging advice on ways to sexually abuse children without raising suspicion", simply for their association in real life and in internet support forums.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

[17][18]
- February 18 - A Quebec superior court judge ruled that Les Amis de Toutes les Minorités Sexuelles (LATMS), a non-profit organization whose website offered services to sexual minorities including pedophiles in Canada, should not legally be allowed to operate in the province, citing that LATMS promoted "the idea that their sexual orientation is normal and worthy of respect.”[19]
