> These people, having committed no crime, are not criminals. Putting the basement nerd with socialisation issues in the same bag as actual rapists is about as helpful as saying that a grandad who smoked weed once is like a cartel boss.
Yes, I agree with that 100%; I was referring specifically to the one statement I quoted about anybody being convicted without having caused any harm. I understood that statement to be absolute, regardless of how close someone might have been to actually causing real harm and how much they might have intended to do so.
- kergonath 6y agoIt was probably phrased poorly, sorry. There is a limit somewhere when a crime is being done; obviously you’d want to stop that as early as possible to protect the victim, and punish the offender as such. In this case, considering none of these people have actually seen the “children” with whom they were supposed to have sex, I find it hard to justify that a crime was about to be done. More than that, the crime was physically impossible, because there was no actual children. It’s particularly bad when following a 24 years old lady is taken as implying that you want to rape a 13 years old girl.
