So you believe in murder for a crime of rape? Wow, I think that's a bit extreme. Life in prison without parole, but kill someone when no one else was killed? I will never support that. Why? Because a woman could LOVE brutal sex. There are women who like that. So you're having brutal sex with her, she wants to be beaten and such, you do your deed inside of her, and two hours later she cries rape. Well guess what? The smoking gun is there. Your DNA will be found inside her. The physical evidence is that what happened was brutal. Lots of tissue damage. You think you deserve to be killed for that? Think about it, and get back to me. Who you think is gonna believe you when you say she wanted it? Its her word against yours. And it doesn't even have to be brutal, she could have consensual sex and then cry rape. Again, who would a jury believe, you, or this poor lady crying up on the stand saying how she is scared to even be in the same room with you? You need to really get educated on this stuff man.
It's not about "curing" someone. You can't "therapy" a straight person gay just like you can't "therapy" a pedophile not to be. But just like just about every gay male out there, they aren't out ass screwing in public, they learn to control themselves and that's what pedophiles must learn to do. Now a pedophile and a child molester are not the same thing. It's been proven time and time again that a lot of "child molesters" actually test zero sexual attraction to kids, so that isn't a pedophile. That's a freak, but not a pedo. So many molestations occur and aren't sexual at all. That's why castration rarely helps. The attraction, if it's there, is in the mind, not the penis. It's an act of power, not sex. Therapy involves teaching a sex offender (I will not say pedophile or rapist because by no means do all sex offenders fall under those categories) how to avoid the situation that got them into trouble in the first place. If they find trouble when they drink, then they are taught to stay away from the bottle. If they were abused as children and are lashing out at kids in anger, they are encouraged to get counseling regarding those issues. If a spouse cheated on them and they lash out by raping women, they are taught how to deal with that anger.
Stats definitely show that offenders who've been through SOTP are less like to reoffend than those who haven't. The jury isn't still out, its definitely in.
Nobody can be cured if indeed they are a true to god pedophile. But it's about curing, because there are pedophiles out there you will never know about because most never act out on their desires. So if most can hold back, we can teach the rest to as well.
