The point is that permitting the government to make ex post facto laws is much more dangerous than letting hundreds of molestors go..
No it is NOT.
Child molesters are a special case - It does not matter how long ago the offence took place, if there is enough evidence they should be prosecuted.
I wonder if you would say this was the lesser of the two evils if you, or a member of your family had been the victim of one of these people. I also wonder if you will still agree with the court if next week one of these people who have been released goes and rapes a child.
