Reply #42: not a threat to adults, but? WTF? ? Pedophiles have a compulsion, much [View All]

like addicts, and this child detailed many occurences of rape for there to be that many original charges. one count per act. think of the kid sitting there giving details as to that many incidents of abuse before you assume anything.

in general 1/2 of men are not sex offenders, because the same rapist often strikes again, so no, 1/2 the men in your office are probably not rapists.

from wilipedia:
International studies indicate a recidivism rate for pedophiles of 40-50 percent, as opposed to only 22 percent for all sexual offenders (Egg 2001). The probability is much higher for those attracted to boys, as compared to those attracted to girls.

i know that the stats are all over the place the more you dig, but pedophilia has been long acknowledge as a compulsion that can't be so easily remedied as you would hope.
unless this child was a tota liar, it's insulting what a small slap on the wrist he received.
it was probably a bargain the family felt they had to make to keep him away from the kid for good.
