.......stamp collecting!!!

Why don't these people keep quiet and accept their charges instead of making unbelievable statements like this?

Just to nit pick- he's not a paedophile.
He may well be of the genuine opinion that it is fine to be into collecting these images.
I once watched a documentary about the police that deal with paedophile cases and some of the men they arrested were interviewed for the programme, one of them really didn't see anything wrong in his crimes, he thought the rest of the world was mad for not feeling the same!
-- answer removed --
Why is he not a paedophile B00?
A paedophile is an adult who is sexually attracted to children.
I thought they were only called that if they actually touched/abused children?
I stand corrected then, apologies Joe :-)
Well, he hasn't much excuse really for that number of pictures over such a long time. The analogy with stamp collecting is rather puzzling. A stamp collector actually collects the stamps - not pictures of them!
Ladybirder -

The term paedophile does not mean an adult who's sexually attracted to children! It simply means someone who LIKES children - as opposed to a paedophobe who is someone who dislikes children.

The term paedophile has been used in recent years as a substitute for what we used to call 'child molester' - in the same way as the formerly-attractive tern 'gay' has now been substituted for 'homosexual'. Perhaps that is what Boo was referring to.
that could be why he told the police
>>told the police he got no sexual gratification <<

i was also going to say he is not a full shilling but after reading this bit

>> stored the vile pictures and films on CDs and DVDs, many of which he then protected with ten layers of encryption. <<

ten layers of encryption , i have trouble remembering a six digit password so i will keep stum
Andyvon, all the online dictionaries define paedophilia as a sexual attraction to children.
No, i honestly believed they were only called paedophiles if they'd actually abused children.
Andyvon, you say <The term paedophile does not mean an adult who's sexually attracted to children>

Well take it up with the OED as that's where I got it from.
BOO....you have a point. As disgusting as it is.....paedophilia is not illegal, acting upon it, IS...
But viewing the images of people acting upon it is also illegal.
Well, as I said, it's been substituted now in the same way as the same on-line dictionary would list 'gay' as homosexual. It was innocuous and meant something completely different until recently.

Paedophilia is a Greek term meaning 'liking children'. Paediatrician is a child doctor, paedophobia is a fear of children etc. Arachnophilia is a liking of spiders and arachnophobia is a fear of them.
And Andy as I said, take it up with the OED as that is not how it describes paedophilia.
OK Ladybirder. It's obviously an example of how the language changes - not for the better much of the time! I just thought I realised what Boo meant with her first post.
Andy <language changes - not for the better much of the time!>

We can agree on that:-)

Have to say I agree with vodkancoke's comment.....why should they remain anonymous when released from prison? The public should know who paedos with these tendencies are
