This is a question that I have often wandered the answer to. Firstly I'd like to say I'm an 18 year old female and am not remotely sexually attracted to children! Now to my question. If someone has been found to have child pornography on their computer do they automatically get arrested? I ask this because I am sure there are plenty of people who are not paedophiles but for purely curiosity sake look up indecent images.They are not sexually aroused by these images and are infact repulsed but they did it for curiosity.Surely you can't call them paeodophiles? Sick it is but not paedophilic behaviour. The case of Chris Langham brought this question to my mind.He has ben arrested for having child porn on his computer and yet he has never abused a child.Maybe he was just curious?
Well I know I wouldn't but I also know people that have and while I am in no way condoning it,these people were not even 18.They were young lads having a "joke" and they were just curious.Although it is sick they were not paedophiles and never looked at another picture again because they were so repulsed by what they saw.Maybe it should only be for people who repeatedly look at these images?
What a load of boll#cks. He is just as bad as the evil bast#rds who nonce the kids. He did not just look at the pictures, he saved them to his hard disc and had also paid to join filthy sites with his credit card.
That is a lot more than being curious, i hope he gets at least ten years to send a clear message to these social lepers that zero tolerance is the only way to deal with these sick, twisted animals.
I can not believe you have posted this, you seem to feel sorry for him. Try sparing a thought for those poor kids who have had their childhoods taken from them!!
if somone is curious to look at images of that nature then in my eyes they are a paedophile!
its not normal to be curious about something like, without seeing images u can only imagine how horrific & disturbing they are and thats enough, u shouldnt need proof!!!!!
every time some sick pervert looks at an image of child in that way, then the demand gets more and another child will be abused for some dirty ******** pleasure
Neilzulu, that's not really surprising coming from you.
sweet~teen, you are seriously weakening the question you asked earlier about your restrictive Catholic mother. Never mind, I don't mind feeling a total twerp, it happens all the time.
Well yes I do feel sorry for him.He never abused a child all he did was download the images.I think it is REALLY sick and I would never do it myself.I can only imagine how revolting it must be but some people don't think like me and they are intrigued.I don't think that makes them evil.Sick but not evil.The people that abuse children are the evil ones
The point here is that "normal" pornography is easy to come by on the internet, in fact it is difficult to avoid.
Child pornography, on the other hand, is not so easy to find, in fact, unless you knew where to look, you probably wouldn't find anything with the sort of content that paedophiles like to look at.
What I'm getting at is that you are unlikely to have child porn on your PC by accident, or as a result of casual surfing, you have to know where to look.
Go for it, yet another chance to be popular and well-said old chap let's get some mob rule and hatred going here because everybody will agree with you.
I am speaking out against mob rule, that is all, and I say again, British society hanged Derek Bentley.
I agree with you in essence, but the ONLY sodding point I am trying to make is the sorry inevitability that any post titled 'Paedophilia' is going to bring all sorts of creatures out of their shells for a rant.
I hope you know what a paediatrician is. Loads of pondlife didn't, all with the same baying blood-letting wail.
