No suprise to me - nobody chooses to be a pedophile or homesexual. It's not the pedophile's fault, and the most troubling part of that article, is that it suggests that controlling the impluses to act on the desire is also out of the pedophile's control. So what to do since we have no real answer for them at this time? If as a society we become too sympathetic to their plight some of them will no doubt interpret that as society becoming more accepting and they'll be more likely to act on their desires. Most pedophiles don't molest kids, they know it's wrong, so they look at child porn and get off. If we block their access to child porn does that make them more frustrated and more likely to molest a child?

The evidence keeps piling up that the brain moreso than early social development is responsible for psychological and aberrant behaviors/illness. It's probably a mixture of the two
