"The overwhelming majority of people with pedophilia are not murderers," he said. "There's no higher frequency among pedophiles than among the general population."

This is another psychologist who should loose his license. I suppose his general population is made up solely of rapists and other perverted psychopaths. Saying child molesters aren't any likelier than the general population to be murderers is like saying that used car salesmen aren't any likelier than the general population to lie.

No, he won't lose his license. He'll probably end up as a witness for the defense. Go figure.

Do you have stats saying otherwise? I'm not saying your wrong, but let's be intellectually honest here. You cannot spout off anything and have it be true.

Look at it this way. If this theory--that children are a sexual "choice," then the only suitable punishments for them if caught is life without parole, or death. In fact, most child molesters either resist treatment, or few of the treatments are effective. This could backfire on those who want it to be a sanctioned "lifestyle."
