[The Bacon Guy]

Quote by: Mia Bacon, you are really interested in pedophilia and all things related. Why do we need 45 threads on it though?

Having only started one of these “45 threads” in the last year, I wouldn’t know. Why do you care so much?

Quote by: Mia Do I think being a non-offending pedophile is worse than being an offending non-pedophile? No, and that's not what his comment means. But with your fascination with the subject, and unrelenting need to defend it, you see it that way.

Calm down. My curiosity with this case was that he pleaded not guilty to possession of child porn on the grounds that he wasn’t a paedophile. In other words, in his mind, downloading child porn is perfectly legal if you are not a paedophile. The fact that this mindset exists, and is actually quite a common defence in child porn cases, says something about how society views paedophiles.

Quote by: palis I really don't see what the big deal is. Guy gets arrested for child porn, happens to be famous, makes an excuse. If it wasn't for the second part, it wouldn't even be news.

True, but this is still an important case precisely because of its high profile nature. It lets a lot of people know that it's not difficult for the cops to catch you and that the "research" excuse doesn't cut it.
