Fact Check: NO Evidence 'Panda Eyes' Bruising Is A Pedophile Phenomenon or Slang Term

Is the term "panda eyes" a pedophile slang term for swollen, bruised eyes caused by sodomy? No, that's not true. There is no medical evidence sodomy causes these types of injuries in children and an image of a child often used in social media posts making the claim comes from a documentary shot in Gaza during the 2014 war. The pattern of bruising around her eye sockets, referred to by some as "panda eyes," were the result of war injuries, not sexual acts. There is no evidence to support the claim that such injuires are a real thing in "pedophile circles."
