238 arrested in sweep of suspected child sex predators

66. Whether or not pedophiles were born that way isn't the problem. The problem is when they

actually molest children. I am sexually attracted to what I find to be good looking adult women. I am positive I cannot be cured of that.
But I could never, ever have sex with a woman without her consent. That would be sick, wrong, illegal, and a violation of her human rights and dignity. I would go without sex first.

Pedophiles should be expected to have the same mindset. Children are not capable of consenting to sex and having sex with a child violates all sorts of human rights and is very damaging to the child. So a good person who is a pedophile should seek treatment on his own. If he/she can not or will not be treated and they cannot be trusted to remain celibate with children then they must be kept away from children at all costs.

A pedophile's rights stop when they violate or threaten a child's human rights. That might not always be fair to the pedophile but it is necessary for the protection of our children.

Those pedophiles who have been convicted of actually sexually abusing a child should be locked up for a long time. It is the same as committing rape of an adult. Only worse.
