That's about 19.99999% more than I want in any man living in a building within 100 yards of my own home.

They don't need to treat them. They need to make sure they have the right person, and lock them up for a loooong time with castration as an option.
Thank you for posting the scientific version of what I was saying

20% is certainly not" remarkably high", and certainly better than doing nothing.

There are just certain elements to "fetish" that can't be cured.

When a man wants to be beaten by a woman... there's something in his brain that has altered.. somewhere..psychologically.. and he's hardwired to get his premium arousal when he's being beaten by a woman...

When a chick has an instance in her life that turns her submissive.. her premium arousal will be forever and always when she is submissive..

When a pedophile or rapist is in a position to overpower someone weaker.. that is when their premium arousal is reached... That doesn't change. EVER. When you work in the fetish world... and you've been around this stuff.. you learn that.

A person's fetishes don't change...

A wife sitting at home thinking her husband will one day stop looking at porn.. if it's a true addiction.. she's deluding herself...

Take a look at the pastor guy from Colorado that's been in the news... he says to this day he still has homosexual fantasies.. and can't shake them....

Fetishes don't die...

These men who either have sex with children or have violent rape charges need to be shipped somewhere... They're of ZERO value to society anymore.. and as someone who works in the adult industry... I can say that.

One thing I do hate about being a "bleeding liberal" is this issue.... I do not think there's any rehabilitating for sex fiends..

However, I don't believe that other non violent fetishes should be censored.. so it's a fine line to walk..

Once you ship those criminals somehwere.. you're going to have people who want swingers and bondage people shipped out of their neighborhood.....

But people need to get an understanding of the fetish... and control freak/ power rape/ pedophiles do NOT have a healthy fetish. It is the one and only fetish where someone TRULY ends up hurt... and they deserve to be locked away...

If you live near sex offenders.. and go 1-2-3 years with nothing happening.. DO NOT let your guard down. DO NOT say, 'Oh he's changed'.... It. doesn't. happen. Always be vigilant with your children.
Sex Offender Treatment Program: Initial Recidivism Study—Executive Summary

This study says otherwise. As for saying people's fetishes don't change, this may be true. But this study seems to indicate that treatment works. It's my opinion that the overall attitude that sexual predators cannot be rehabilitated is doing more harm than good. These offender registries are costing taxpayers a lot of money. But, that's probably the point. Like the war on drugs, it's a way to create high paying jobs for cronies while simultaneously garnering easy votes for politicians.

Do either of you have kids? Jeez. You're defending the plight of convicted child molesters. These are scum who should never have a second chance to see if they "might" do it again!

Gads. Freaking people. Rehabilitate? Are you serious? You rehabilitate alcoholics. Not child molesters. You lock them up, cut their nads off, or you kill them. Pretty simple.

I'm just thinking rationally. The last statement is pretty ridiculous.

You need to move to Afghanistan...maybe your version of justice is accepted by the Taliban.

Fact is most people convicted of child sexual abuse know their victims. Many times it is a relative, guardian, or friend of the family. The media and political driven paradigm of the "monster" lurking in the shadows or prowling the playground is NOT reality.

In my opinion, more should be done in our society to prevent sexual abuse in the first place. If 20% of the cases are repeats then why not concentrate on the 80% of first-time offenses? People who feel these urges and want to get help probably never seek it for fear of being labelled a "pervert" and scrutinized by law enforcement.

True pedophilia is a mental health issue and should be treated as such.

Attraction to adolescents (children who are developing) and teens under 18 is more of a social and legal issue. Many of these laws have changed in many states just in the past few years. In NC for instance, the age of consent was 13 yrs old right up until 1995. Now it is 16. This probably has to do with politics more than anything. Back in the "good ol' days", in most states, a 14 yr old girl would get pregnant and get married and while it wasn't thought of as being the best situation it was legal.

Some of thsese laws are ridiculous in my opinion. Convicting a 20 yr old man of statutory rape because he had sex with his 15yr old girlfriend and making him register as a sex offender for 20 yrs does NOTHING to protect children from sexual predators!

I understand you're from Texas and are probably fairly religious and I'll assume that by your member title, You're not a Democrat, Anyways, Even by bible standards, an eye for an eye would be just to have someone rape them which might be just as good a punishment.

I would never defend a real child molester (anything other then teens that are like 2-3 years apart) but honestly, killing them ? I could see it if you caught them in the act but that's not a punishment, that would lead to killing someone over anything from petty theft to imbezzelment and besides, Isn't the death penalty a capital punishment ? I thought most Texans were conservatives that wanted less government ?

Well for the first time I have to agree with Mom..... a man who rapes a child should be sent to prison and IMO rec the death penalty esp if the victim is a small child or baby. There is no rehab for scum like that.

Just out of curiosity, Should a 17 year old be given the death penalty if he messed with a 3 year old ?

Should a 14 year old be given the death penalty if he messed with a 4 year old ?

I feel the same way, there's no rehab for these guys. Get them out of society forever. I don't care what happens to them as long as they never rejoin society to reoffend.
