    I have known two pedophiles in my life. One was my cousin who molested me when I was five, the other was a severely mentally disabled man whose family used him for CSAM as a child.

    The two should absolutely not be treated the same.

      What? Yeah one is a criminal and the other is a victim. Why would they be treated the same?

            I think you misunderstand. The second man in my statement was groomed into pedophilia from childhood. As in, his family simply switched his roles in the videos as he got older. He was convicted by the courts as a perpetrator and got a plea deal due to mental deficiency, but he’s still on the list.
