What would compel someone to commit any sexual acts whatsoever with a, “child.”
As recently popularized by the Dateline NBC show, “To Catch a Predator,” child molestation, (or the attempting thereof) have been one of the crimes people have been most arrested for in the last few years.
Whether it be, rape, sodomization, statutory rape, child molestation, soliciting a child or whatever you want to call it, why would anyone do it?
1.) Everyone, or nearly everyone, is aware of the consequences. Aside from the fact that an individual (presuming he/she pleads not guilty) will almost never be found not guilty, people are still commiting this crime.
2.) The prison stay is much worse for a child molester, I mean, these are the people that make stone-cold hard-hearted inmates sick! So, if you’re a guy, you will go to jail and be anally raped until your anal crevice resembles tapioca pudding.
3.) Nobody will protect you. In jail, a person can usually join up with some gang or another to the extent that if that person gets messed with, the person messing with them is going to deal with the whole group; that’s not the case with child molesters. Even the prison guards are less likely to jump in if someone starts beating the living shit out of you.
4.) It’s, like, the easiest crime in the world NOT to commit. What other crime short of murder, robbery, grand theft auto, etc. has clearer lines. If she/he is 18, hit it, if not, then don’t! It really is that simple!
I understand that some people have psychological this and that that causes their attraction to minors, mostly to young children, but at some point, doesn’t logic have to take over? Again, it is a very simple law not to break.
I have no problem with the Dateline show simply because there is no entrapment, there is no questionable legality involved in catching these guys. Look, you’re talking to a thirteen year-old on the internet, she’s bullshitting about what shoes to get, and you come out with, “How would you like my cock in your mouth?” That’s not entrapment, that’s someone being a complete dipshit and getting caught.
My question is simply why? Why would someone commit a highly publicized, easily avoidable crime that follows you around, (in terms of having to register as a sex offender) the rest of your life even after you do your time, assuming you get out of jail alive?
