> If a pedophile or any other kind of criminal

Pedophilia is not criminal (in "civilized" countries), it's just a sexual orientation. What you might be thinking of is child abuse. Please don't confound those two, because being a pedophile is neither a choice nor does it make you a child abuser, nor is all child abuse done by pedophiles.

edit: lol, downvotes for this? Really? I'd really be curious how those downvotes correlate with support for CoCs.
