So, on another forum we were discussing about a 9 year-old girl being sexually assaulted in a New York library, her mother a floor beneath her.

A lot of people over there started saying excuses like "it's easier for men to rape, that's why they do it" and stuff like "pedophilia isn't wrong"

They also went on saying that this guy who forced an innocent baby girl to touch his body isn't a threat to other kids in the world.

Here's the story;
NEW YORK (WPIX) - New York City Police are looking for a man they say sexually assaulted a child inside a public library.

According to detectives, the assault happened on May 6 at around 5 p.m. inside the Seward Park Library located at 192 East Broadway.

Police say the suspect approached the victim, described as a 9-year-old girl, grabbed her by her shirt and while covering her mouth sexually assaulted her.


"He asked me what color was my underwear," she said. "Then he asked to see my underwear and I didn't let him see it."

Stunned by the stranger's question, the girl did not react. Within seconds she said the man groped her and then forced her to grope him. He stopped she said when he thought someone saw him.

"I ran to my mom. I was crying," she said, "And told her that a stranger was touching me and stuff"

This bold assault happened in the children's section of the library's second floor, which has become a sanctuary for many schoolchildren who go there to study and do homework.

The young girl's mother was on the second floor as well. When her daughter walked away, she assumed it was safe. But after what happened to her daughter, she was shocked to learn that there are no security cameras.

"I'm very upset there are no cameras," said the mother. "Because it is very hard to find this guy."


The suspect is described as a white male approximately in his mid 40's, between 5'9" to 6'0" tall with a medium build and short salt and pepper hair.

He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, shorts, a grey colored cap. The suspect was also carrying a black bag with a strap. -Source-



So, my question to all of you, is being a pedophile wrong and dangerous to children?
 
Considering the lifelong mental/physical trauma the child has to deal with in regards to being molested/raped i'd pretty much go yes on that one! As in yes its both wrong and dangerous to a child

wronger than wrong. anyone who does these things i think deserves to have their hands cut off then get shot in the back of the head. they are sick and demented individuals that class more like scum than human beings
 
I've heard the arguments that pedophilia is the same as being gay. I take that statement offensively seeing as how they're just trying to justify what they're doing.

Of course I don't agree with their argument, but I see why they're doing it. They're comparing it to being gay because it's sexual preference. However, a child legally can't consent to sex. Granted, being gay once wasn't accepted among society like pedophilia is now, but... I don't see the laws against statutory rape being changed anytime soon.
 
You might as well ask if a ten pound bag of shit stinks. Why, yes, yes it does. And yes, pedophilia is wrong. Go ask Chris Hansen, he'll tell you all about it. The mental scaring of little boys and girls strikes me as wrong. There really isn't much to discuss here. :hmmm:
 
Whoa, I'm very happy to see so many people agree with me that it's wrong.

Some guy on another forum was trying to tell me that since this guy didn't actually get to rape her that it doesn't matter.

Just asking to see her underwear is psychological trauma to her weather she realises it now or later....the guy on the other forum needs a reality smack and should get out of his mom's basement more often :hmph:

Yea, that's what I'm trying to say. But he's actually saying that being attracted to kids isn't wrong.

That's disgusting right?:starwars:

This is a pretty loaded question to begin with. The man in the news story may not be a rapist but he sure seems to have a history with sexual assault, and nobody in their right mind is going to defend an assaulter regardless of the age of the victim. I don't see anything wrong with being sexually attracted to little kids (hence loli porn and such), I just don't want it to actually hurt real people.

Being attracted to children is not the same thing as being gay/bi/ect
If your SEXUALY attrected to a child and your not a child yourself there is definantely something wrong with your mental process and quite frankly there is no defence to it.
It is not nateral for an adult to be attracted to a child 10 years or younger.
Period
Tell the dude that
 
I think because you're using an example of where the young girl didn't want to be in that specific situation/relationship, people are obviously going to agree that it's wrong.

If you asked if being in a consentual pedophilic relationship was wrong, there may be a different argument to it.
 
There is honestly nothing to say here. It is dead wrong. Like Sakura said, a minor cannot consent to sex. Sex and it's many related acts can be very taxing physically and mentally and to FORCE a a minor, much less a little innocent girl strikes me as a very offensive and sick act. Yes, Pedophilia is very very wrong.

I think people need to realize that the term "pedophilia" doesn't only apply to acts of raping or assaulting a young child. Pedophilia is a term used for, say, a 13 year old and a 30 year old having a consentual relationship. If that example were used, I certainly think that people would react differently...

I doubt it, a child is not capable of knowing whats right or wrong,for the most part, for their mental and physical health while they are growing up.
A 7 year old cannot consent to sexual acts with an adult over 18..
I find it quite wrong and horrid to even consider a thing like that or it to be consentual.
As children,well as far as myself goes, did indeed expierament with other children,playing doctor,kissing ect... I personaly think its part of growing up and theres nothing imo wrong with it.
But to do so with an adult.....unexceptable.
Even wild animals dont mate with the babies:hmph:
 
No matter how that word is used, it is, in general, wrong. Consentual or not, relations with someone much older than you, say 10 years older, while you are at an age below 17 strikesme as very disturbing and morally wrong.
 
Yeah, I'd agree with most of you here that, I think it's wrong. Not to mention disgusting >_<

Touching someone sexually and it doesn't have to be rape, is wrong. Without their consent yes it's wrong.
So I have to agree with Ether when she quoted cali about a man saying that.

Even though, you really (i dont think) canr control who your attracted to however, keep it to yourself >.< Like seriously it's grody. Its not natural.

I don't see the argument behind this. Why is it so wrong and disgusting if it's consentual? I feel like your argument here could be used against being gay as well. Some say being gay isn't "natural", so that's why many people objected to it like everyone is objecting to pedophilia now.

Even wild animals dont mate with the babies:hmph:

That's... irrelevant. I'm sure at some point a wild animal of some species has mated with a younger animal.

Again, you are using an example of an extremely young child.

The question at hand is not if it is legal or not, it's if pedophilia is wrong.
 
And yes Pedophilia is wrong because Pedophillia itself is with a YOUNG person of unconsenting age regardless of argument.

All that tells me is that you think it's wrong because it's illegal.

And you think a young person has enough better judgment to decide they are willing to let their body be used by an adult?
A young person has no idea what life is about. Granted some kids age befor their time do to expierience but it still dosent mean their mental frame is advanced enough to process this sort of thing properly. Oh and thats actualy a scientific fact^^
Oh and pedophillia is about age point blank. So yeah to me based on this it is indeed WRONG. If you love or want someone you can wait. If you dont your a scumbag. Period.
