Consentual or not, he CHOSE to have sex with a minor...sorry, in my book that is strike one, strike two, strike 3, GET OUT!.....lol

I agree absolutely. Only I believe there is a big difference in nature, psychologically speaking, between a man who has consensual sex with a 16-year-old and one molests a pre-pubescent child. One is definitely more of a danger to society than the other. And from my experience, I've become aware that our justice system doesn't exactly consider and reflect that difference, which is why dangerous people are so often let back out onto the street. That is my main concern. I think more attention should be given in our courtrooms to the differences between true
pedophiles and what you might otherwise call
child molesters. There is a much higher rate of recidivism amongst pedophiles, and worse, a tendency towards increasingly violent crimes against their victims.
