The article above states that over 1100 "sex predators" were arrested in a week in some state.

I'm just wondering, what's going on? Why is this constantly on the news and such a big conversation topic in America?

If this is indeed some psychiatric disorder, one would expect it to occur with the same frequency in other countries around the world, but I haven't heard about such an obsession in foreign media. So, does this occur more often in the US, than elsewhere? And if so, why?

this happens everywhere, not to mention that in other countries sex slaver/trafficing is much more widespread.

Yeah, I remember watching a documentary on CNN about sex trafficing in Europe, and this was focused in Romania. When I lived in Albania, alot of girls were trafficed to Italy and used as prostitues, so its much more spread in Europe then America.

Its just fuckin sick.

yeah i saw that. i think it was followed by a report on how the internet is also being used to track down potential child molestors and sex offenders.

What I don't understand is why can't a male have sex with a 16yr old girl? I mean the girl is old enough to know what she is doing. Its not a pedophile or molestor for an older guy to like a girl half his age. What would be really disturbing is a 40yr old guy having sex with someone younger than 15.

i mean don't you guys think lowering the age will make a whole lot less molestors or pedos in jail?

On another note I too saw that doc on CNN. That was in Milan and the that romainian girl was hot! If more prositutes looked like her I would really love prositutes.

I said someone 'younger' than 15.

firstly, it would depend on which state & country youre in. in australia, most states have an age of consent of 16.

no. typically paedophiles are named for their taste in young, pre-pubescent children. thus lowering the age of consent, to say, 16, will mean almost nothing in the context you are talking.
