71. The problem is that pedophiles usually end up with reduced charges

It's difficult to get a conviction for a sexual assault in which a child is a victim, because it is traumatic to the victims to testify. As a result, a lot of really horrible violent sexual assaults get downgraded to "indecent liberties."

I don't believe in vigilantism of any kind, but I do believe in being vigilant. Anyone convicted of any sexual crime against children bears close watching. Not abuse, not attacks - just close watching.
