( CNN ) -- A man who wrote a controversial book considered a `` how-to '' guide for pedophiles was booked into a Florida jail Tuesday after defending his book to reporters . Phillip Greaves , who was arrested Monday in Colorado , said `` The Pedophile 's Guide to Love and Pleasure : A Child-Lover 's Code of Conduct '' can be used as a guide to rehabilitating pedophiles , and -- instead of teaching them how to avoid arrest -- teaches them to avoid illegal actions . Asked if he is a pedophile , Greaves said , `` I only have sex with grown-ups . '' He said he has no children and `` I do n't keep children around my house . '' Polk County , Florida , Sheriff Grady Judd has said his detectives were able to establish jurisdiction in the case by conducting an undercover operation , buying the book through the mail . Greaves protested Tuesday he is the target of entrapment , but Judd disagreed . `` He wrote this book , he published this book , he put it on Amazon to sell , '' Judd told reporters as Greaves was booked into the Polk County Jail , `` and he freely responded to our desire to purchase it . '' Greaves and his book gained national attention this year after Amazon.com defended selling the book despite angry comments and threats of boycotts . The book was removed from the website in November . Officials said the book talks about safe sex and avoiding injury to children , grooming and preparing children for sex and teaching children how to lie to their parents . Judd said Greaves ' book outlines a `` code of ethics '' that shows pedophiles how to look for the most vulnerable children . Greaves told reporters Tuesday he wrote the book to exorcise his own childhood . He said he was introduced to sex at age 7 by a 10-year-old friend and began having sex with other children . It continued , he said , until he was about 15 when he stopped and did not have sex again for years . `` Once I got into adolescence , I suppose you could have identified me as an adolescent pedophile , '' he said . But now , he said , he is an example of the fact that people can reform . `` I think all speech should be protected , '' Greaves said . But `` I was not the one who solicited the material to be sent to Florida . I think Florida law is for Floridians and Colorado law is for Coloradoans . '' He told reporters he will not be able to make bond : `` I 'm actually quite poor . '' CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said on CNN 's `` 360° '' on Monday night that prosecutors may have a hard time convicting Greaves and maintained his arrest was unconstitutional . `` I do n't think they can go forward because the book is clearly protected by the First Amendment , '' Toobin said . `` This book , as awful as it is , it is only words . '' Judd vehemently disagreed with Toobin 's assessment of the case . `` This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with obscenity , '' Judd said . `` We had a law in Florida that applied . We only needed jurisdiction . '' He said the book violates Florida law . `` There 's too much hand-wringing across the nation . When we ca n't stand together as a nation and say you ca n't write a book with real stories of children being sexually abused , then it 's time to change the law . '' Judd said of Greaves : `` Clearly , in our opinion , he 's a pedophile . ... The guy is clearly trying to instruct people how to sexually abuse children , a step-by-step instruction guide with real-life examples . That 's against the obscenity law in Florida , and we 're excited to take it to court . '' Referring to Toobin 's comments about the book being just words , he said , `` Words become actions , and words in and of themselves can get you in trouble . If you threaten the president , you 're in trouble . ... There are limits to what you can do . '' He said prosecutors and a circuit judge signed off on the arrest . Toobin pointed to a similar case that went to the Supreme Court in 2002 in which cartoons depicting children in acts similar to ones in Greaves ' book were deemed protected by the Constitution . `` Certainly the sheriff and I disagree about the constitutional issue , but I agree with him that the issue of child pornography is a very serious one , and I 'm certainly glad that law enforcement is taking an active stand against it , '' Toobin said .
