Tim, I am talking about the types that kill, maim, or mentally damage their victims. Some of the people you mentioned may be a bit deviate, but have no desire to cause physical, or mental, damage. Those need to be punished, but not to the degree of the others.
There is also something that is often not considered, but I have seen it happen to a friend of mine. He was enticed by a girl that looked like an adult, and said she was 21, and did what any red blooded man would do. Then the sh** hit the fan. She hollered rape, had him arrested, and tried to sue him for everything he had. In that case, I consider the girl to be the predator.
Some of the other instances that you mentioned, were consensual, and IMO both people should be held in violation of the law, but if no one was hurt, and neither one of them complained, no crime was committed. |
