you're mixing up 'child molesters' and 'pedophiles' - the article mentions that many child molesters aren't pedophiles, and many pedophiles aren't child molesters, many molesters are fucked up angry men who do it to exercise power and control over a weaker human being, the creepy dad who molests his daughter doesn't molest any other children, just his own daughter.
i understand we can't condone the production and distribution of child porn but what an interesting and horrible philosophical dilemma it would be IF we had scientific evidence that pedophiles who had access to child porn were 50% less likely to molest/rape a child than those who had no access to child porn. So let's say 1,000 children being exploited for child porn SAVED 5,000 children from being molested, end result is 4,000 less children being harmed - there's a philosophy term for that type of moral/immoral dilemma, which I forget.
human beings are so fucked up - i wonder how much less of this stuff goes on in poverty stricken populations where food and shelter are your main concerns. An idle hands/mind is the devil's workshop
