Did anyone watch this last night on 4 about the peodophile, what were your views?

I was too creeped out..

[4getmenot]

it was weird because I know he did a bad thing but somehow I could feel sorry for him too, which I shouldnt. When they embarrased him in the police station I started to feel sorry for him which I shouldnt as he shouldnt really be able to live a good life as he has ruined those girls lives. Really messed my head up.

hi forget i caught this half way through when i went to my mums , and i was like he should be in prison for longer for doing that (from what my mum expalined to me) but my mum sat there and said i feel really sorry for him. so i dont no if my views would of been different if i watched it all the way through!??

I think its a natural reaction to want people to be treated equally and thats why it got to me, but why should he be. When the gangs waited outside his to beat him up I thought, no hang on he's done his time, but then he was still the same.

I was a victim of a peodophile, but they were not called that years ago. I have not watched it yet, but intend to when it`s on S4C, so can not comment on that programme.

i didnt see this programme, but some peodos are suffering from mental illness, not just being pervs. not that it makes it any more palatable to most.

I was so pleased they cast an attractive man in the part. It is too easy to think of them as unattractive. I think this is why we saw him as an ordinary person. I have always thought that, as there is no 'cure' we should allow them to live apart from society, on an island somewhere. They could have all the benefits of a normal community amongst themselves but kept at a distance for the well being of children, and (as last nights programme showed) themselves
