First, a Nevada man pleaded guilty to ten counts of child pornography for possessing more than 800 pornographic images of children — and in his sentencing, the judge asserted that men are attracted to female children. Female children as young as one:
“These kinds of offenses are problems with impulse control,” said Carson City District Judge Bill Maddox prior to sentencing. “When I say that, it’s my understanding that most men are sexually attracted to young women. When I say young women I don’t just mean women that … you should be attracted to. I mean women from the time they’re 1 all the way up until they’re 100.”
And wanting to have sex with little girls is perfectly normal:
Maddox noted the legal terms malum in se, a Latin phrase meaning an act that is “inherently evil,” and malum prohibitum, which means acts that are not necessarily inherently immoral or hurtful, only wrong by statute.
He said child pornography could be considered malum prohibitum because in some countries and cultures it is acceptable to engage in sexual conduct with young girls.
“As an example, having sex with a girl between 12 and 16 is prohibited because we say it’s prohibited. It’s because we decided as a civilized society you do not want adults engaging in sexual conduct with children below 16 years of age, which flies in the face of our, I guess for lack of a better description, our normal impulses,” he said.
“I guess we could just ignore them, say it’s just like a traffic ticket, it’s malum prohibitum, it’s only against the law because it’s prohibited. Or we could say that because we’re trying to control what’s an otherwise natural impulse there has to be consequences.
“The bottom line on it all is the way we’re going to control it in my opinion is to ensure that everybody understands what the consequences are if you engage in … a lack of impulse control. It’s likely that most people would find young girls sexually attractive. But we’re civilized to the point that we’re taught to control our impulses. When you don’t, there has to be consequences.”
And if that isn’t enough to make you vomit in your own mouth, check out this story about a man who got no jail time for raping a 10-year-old girl — because he thought she was 16, and she had already had some sexual experience, so what’s the harm? And naturally, she was asking for it:
Mr Justice Roderick Evans, at Swansea Crown Court, said the girl “was looking for a man and got what she wanted”.
