Please don't lump pedophiles in with murderers. Many of them are in prison simply for downloading a file from the internet. In some cases, the content is perfectly legal and harmless but was edited to be sexually suggestive and the people caught with it end up in prison. That's not to say some don't actually abuse children, but many do not.
- protomyth 13y agoSorry, let be clarify, when I say pedophiles (as opposed to some of these "sex offenders"[1]), I mean adults who molest children. Since I don't believe (although courts seem to think the other way) that lists after release are constitutional, I am one of those that believe dangerous people need to stay in jail. Those people need to serve a long, long time. I am not up on the psychology of adults who look at suggestive pictures of children, but I don't think that is healthy. 1) some 17 or 18 year old having consensual sex with their 14 to 17 year old partner is not something I count. That should be a parents discussion and not the courts. 100 years ago, that was marriage age.
