A paedophile’s story

Tagged: ,

Warning: NSFW

Over at kuro5shin (pronounced: corrosion), there’s an article written by a supposed paedophile trying to appeal to the public, to explain his feelings towards young girls and tell his story.

Rap sheet

From the article, he doesn’t sound like he’s a convicted paedophile nor is he a violent rapist (obviously “informed consent” is a major sticking point and one that makes many people equate paedophilia with rape regardless of context). This guy isn’t the typically villainous abusers we see paraded by the media but he is a sexual deviant.

So how evil is he?

If you want to figure out how evil he is, you’ll have to ask yourself a few questions. Like how evil you find underage kids being sexually active with other underage kids. How evil do you find a 17-year-old having sex with an 11-year-old. How evil it is to have thoughts about underage girls when you’re in your late twenties.

Ok, so the article isn’t that great a read. He does set up some silly straw man arguments at the end, maybe out of frustration of feeling misunderstood and judged. But I still find it interesting to hear from this side of the fence without the blaring voices of a million family groups screaming, “Won’t someone think of the children!?”

It’s naive to think paedophilia can be eliminated by hunting them down and tracking them like animals. You have to realise that even if someone is a convicted sex offender, eventually they are re-integrated into society.

His arguments aren’t very convincing…

Q: Kids don’t have the mental capacity blah blah blah.

A: Neither do most adults (yes I’ve had several adult gfs).

IMHO, this doesn’t make it OK in either case. :P

The guys just making excuses. Again, I’ll go with the example Dennis gave – what a load. There’s all sorts of Paedophiles out there, its just that the media focus on the violent or cruel ones, as its easy to sensationalise and make a great story out of. If they were to report on every sex offender in the country there would be no time for the sports or weather. A Paedophile is a paedophile, no excuses, who gives a shit if something terrible happened to them as a child or if their whacked in the head for some reason. Its impossible to catch a paedophile before they do something, all we can do is notify the communities they live in so the parents can do their best to protect their children from this type of scum.

ummmm…..Sex between 17yr old and an 11 yr old is illegal (in Victoria anyway).

“It is an offence to take part in or attempt to take part in such an act with a young person aged between 10 and 16 unless the young person consents and…the accused was less than two years older than the young person…” (Crimes (Sexual Offences) Act 1980 (Vic) )

Doesn’t matter how evil or not evil you think it is, it’s illegal.

Who cares about the legal side of things, what about the morals of it?
Jack

Besides, these sorts of laws are merely representations of what we deem to be immoral. Sure, it’s illegality might outweigh its immorality in this specific instance but what if the laws should ever be revised?

The moral debate is essential to the legal system.

that law is in regards to statutory rape, but yes between 17 and 11…not cool….in fact very wrong……all i can say is shoot every last one of them, there is no cure for them except 5.56mm FMJ to the head.
Jack

Oh now, capital punishment is a whole other can of worms.
ME

not really, anyone who doesn’t like capital punishment MUST be a criminal of some sort, so they to deserve capital punishment. :-)

I don’t see a single convincing argument in there.

Point the first: more activity on ‘young erotica’ groups on Usenet. This says nothing other than that these people are more active on the net. Numbers on the net are abstract in most practical terms.

Point the second: research suggests a large proportion of the population “reacts” to imagines of young girls. The reflexive actions and the morally ‘right’ actions aren’t necessarily the same – in a way, rape is a reflexive action, especially in wartime. Doesn’t make it right.

Finally, the main thing he seems to argue is that it’s not necessarily harmful to the other person. True. But the cycle of abused-and-abuser is well documented, and in the face of other considerations it is even more dubious that such a question should be asked. Issues like mental, sexual and emotional maturity, sexual exploitation of women and so on all come up.

In a way, society is almost leaning towards this on a bigger scale, as younger girls are roped into the modelling profession, barely mature. Younger and younger girls are wearing clothes once only seen on women in their 20s – the sexualisation of society is getting to kids sooner.

I don’t know, to be honest; i’m no paragon of virtues. But I do think that if he’s going to argue the point, he should have something more convincing as a reason.

I think there are some valid arguments to be made about paedophilia and the rather contradictory way it’s treated in society. It’s just a shame he didn’t make them.

Karan – “rape is a reflexive action, especially in wartime”? I’m afraid I’m not following you there…there’s a very big step between getting wood at the sight of a naked lady and forcibly having sex with her against her will. The only reason it happens more in war is because people can get away with all sorts of human rights abuses when their job is to kill people.
karan

In a way! Once read a theory which said something along the lines of that, basically as a way for the “victors” to spread their own bloodlines… ok, the wording there is probably not correct – my original wording was “a natural action”, but then there’s all other kinds of questions raised.

Hum, well. I’m kind of afraid to comment on this. Part of the problem is the focus on family to the exclusion of community- this amplifies a lot of problems related to sexuality, sex, and gender. That aside, I am reticent to condone any relationship between an under-age person and an older person, particularly a significantly older person, but if they were willing to wait until the person came of age, my worries would be somewhat assuaged. On the other hand, if the only reason for the attraction is the youth, as opposed to a person’s individual qualities, making it pointless to wait for the person- well, then, that is not a good grounds for a relationship of any kind.
