Its not defeatist, because beyond what I said about the animated/cartoon/drawn/etc bit, it is the current system in place. Actively searching, viewing, or not reporting crimes against children of a sexual nature is a 1 way ticket to jail in America. As it is, pedophiles in America may get a lesser sentence than less serious crimes.

Worth mentioning, but if it's classified as a mental disorder - wouldn't that make it fair for them to receive a shortened sentence? I guarantee you the American prison sentence is not going to provide any form of rehabilitation for a pedophile. Oh lordy, no.
