That's the problem in a nutshell, buddy. A lot of pedophiles were molested as kids, so it's a circular problem. It would take a huge overhaul of how sexuality is dealt with at a societal level and I'm perfectly willing to admit that I have no fucking clue how to even start going about it.

When you bring in issues of art (depicting rape in a film) and spoken/written word (whether it be fiction or this guy's book) it does make things extremely complicated and I totally agree that there are free speech issues here.

It's too bad we can't take his book as a confession, because in it he describes how he went from being molested himself to molesting other kids. But my guess is the statute of limitations is long past on those crimes.
