What if pedophiles who weren't child molestors got together and formed a group which met weekly to discuss their thoughts, published their thoughts on paper, illustrated their thoughts on web sites, and so on? (But no photography since a photograph requires a victim!) Should that activity be a crime? Do you think they'd be arrested? Ostracised?
In the US, we have a group like this-NAMBLA, North American Man/Boy Love Association (I am not going to link to them). I'm sure they are very careful to keep their official activities inside the limits of the law, but that doesn't keep most people finding what they stand for sickening. Sure, sure, there's nothing as healthy for an 8-year-old boy as an adult lover . Every year in my neck of the woods NAMBLA gets indignant about not being allowed to march in the Gay Pride parade (like there aren't enough people convinced that homosexuality and pedophilia are linked). They are ostracised, but wouldn't any other action subtly condone their beliefs (at least in their minds)?

When the idea about them having group therapy came up this is the first thing I thought of. They will soon say their civil rights are being violated. There was a story in the local paper about a year ago showing that there were close to 400 registered sex offenders in my city.
