Terrible!

I am really glad police forces are patrolling the net. The more people like this get caught, the more criminals will think before they try to meet a minor for sex.

Quote:

An officer here pleaded guilty at a general court-martial to two specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman under Article 133, Uniform Code of Military Justice. While on temporary duty at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Maj. Paul McNeme engaged in a sexually explicit online chat with someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl. During their online chat, he also discussed plans to meet with and have sex with this girl. The person he was really conversing with was an adult from a sting operation, who turned a copy of the chat log over to law enforcement authorities after the incident.

Unfortunality this is not the case. There is an investigative TV show that frequently sets a sting operation and they do not appear to be able to curb the problem. In fact some of these individuals have seen the show and still are caught in the act. I believe these individuals who go after these kids have an illness that causes them to be attracted to the kids. There is also a steady increase in child porn. I really am unable to comprehend what these people are thinking. There was a senior grade civilian who was the Historian in 2ID who was also apprehended when he took a flight to Arkansas a few years ago to meet a 13 or 14 yo girl. The people who have engaged in this come from a diverse group. One of the ladies I know well her husband was arrested for the same thing and he was a Youth Minister.

It is unfortunate, however sad. One of our ills of society.

I saw a show recently where a news show busted a pervert. The reporter running the sting operation was waiting for the pervert in the kitchen of a house - the pervent was told to get naked in the garage and just walk right into the house without knocking - and he did. The reporter talked to him a bit and tried to get the pervert to fess up about what he was doing. Of course, the pervert denied it all.

The pervert went back to the same chat room and used the same ID - and the very next day they busted him again at a McDonald's - the pervert was on his way there to meet what he thought was a 13 year old.

Unbelieveable!!

Good!! the personnel with higher rank need to be watched a little more.

This is not too unbelievable when you make the anal logy of someone with an addiction. This is an illness and should be treated as such. The average person is unable to comprehend the same perception they have. The individuals caught in a sting are from one end of the spectrum to the other. The one thing to remember is the sting only catches some of the perps. What about the ones who do not get caught. It is obviously apparent this is occurring all the time. What about the sadistic ones that are homicidal. If this does not give a real concern to parents I am not sure what will. I believe they should have a service where concerned parents are able to obtain reports of suspicious activity on the computer.
An invasion of privacy? So be it. At least we will minimize the risk to the young people by these sick individuals. It is a parents responsibility to protect their children.

A child molester/pedophiles by any means is not an addicition. There is no effective treatment for pedophiles. Internet and porn addiction does not equal pedophilia. IT's a power thing. Rape is not about sex, it's about power. Just like bullying is about power. The more misery one infects, the stronger they feel. All the above are examples of psychopathology, not addiction. . It may be legal for this stuff in Holland, but not in the US or UK or Canada. To commit a crime one needs two elements: Actus Reys and Mens Reyes (Thought and action). One does not enter that kind of chatroom without a motive to find a victim. It's a good thing that LEO's are doing this sort of stuff. It may be the parents responsibility, but if little joey or jane goes to a frinds house checks out the chatroom and so on then goes to the public library (not all libraries monitor their internet) or the internet cafe and goes so forth when does parental supervision end and LEO takes over? Not to mention that tenagers seeking some sort of identity would not lie to their parents about going somewhere, about what they are doing online. They's not forget the parent who buy their child the bluetooth technology device. They could be miles away from mom & dad and fall prey.

Jails and prisons are good place for them. That's why they state's have Megan Laws. Treatment options, let me know the success rate of repeat pedophiles. I know of plenty of parole/probation officers who dreed being assigned to strictly sex offenders. They hit their heads against brick walls on a daily basis and their success rate is virtually null. Nope, take this clowns rank and let him serve time first in a militarty prison then the state prison. Molesting childing won't be on his mind!

Pedophilia may not be the correct term since the majority of the perps are situational. Some have families as well. They come from all walks of life. I am by no means an expert nor have a ever really dedicated anytime to the psychology of this behavior. It is much easier to look at it from the addiction perspective. If there is not a cure for these individuals why are they released in society to commit their heinous crimes. Lock down is the only alternative.

Pedophilia is means sex with children. That's what they do, lawyers, doctors, clergy, healthcare workers, relatives. It's a broad spectrum of people. Speaking as someone with numerous years of experience as a professional addictions counselor/therapist, the viewpoint of addiciton helps with the $$$. As sos for has released by into society. Prisons are full and kissing up to one correctional cousenlor helps one get out sooner. Along with no write ups and behavior problems. Alls one has to do is admit to have a problem.

Children have only been recognized has a human being since '84. It not surprising that attitudes to keep pedophiles lock up is laxed. As far as a ped being situational, only in the since of how to select their victim and that's the bottom line. With you want to make $$$, formulate yourself a social service agency to assist in the rehab of peds, hire a few MSW's/PhD's, design a treatment program using 'current or state of the art' treatment principles, call it a faith-based program and enjoy the spoils.

I understand the term; however, since some of these people who prey on kids on line are also married with families of their own would they also be a Pedaphile? Pedaphiles are in a class by themselves and are not able to have a relationship with anyone. In one episode of the PJ they had a perp who brought his 5 yo son along. They also showed where one of them was to appear in court that week for a similiar offense.
