In the 30 years since I left college, I've seen two people from my old circle of friends turn into sex offenders.
One molested his stepdaughter (and had to endure prison during the worst of Covid).
The other (from my nerd/hacker peer group) got busted with several CD's containing hundreds of MB's of child porn. He got someting like 18 months in prison and was able to return to his job, which was a low-level programing job for state government.
I think it's imporant to not dehumanize the people who do this because of rather shocking frequency with which it happens.
So yes, I admire Dylan Baker for having the courage to play that character straight instead of some abstract, unreal monster. At the very least he deserved an Oscar nomination.
