What the other poster was getting at, which I was going to bring up is they said there's a difference between a paedophile and a child molester.

A child molester is a criminal, a paedophile is not.

Don't get the wrong idea, this isn't a defence of paedophiles, but defence of a demographic of people who haven't done anything wrong.

Much of the reason paedophiles dont seek help is because of the mindset displayed here.

A paedophile who commits themselves to never touching a child is nothing short of a hero in my opinion.
