Thanks, Angela. I should add that while it's sexually normal for an adult to be attracted to adolescent children, acting on that attraction is socially unacceptable because it is frequently very harmful to the children psychologically (although not always, depending on the situation). That it's sexually normal, in other words, does not exonerate the predator. It's a clinical distinction, not an ethical one. > --- authfriend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- In [email protected], "sandiego108" > > <sandiego108@> > > wrote: > > > > > > --- In [email protected], Angela > > Mailander > > > <mailander111@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Why can't a pedophile be in UC? > > > > > > > I don't know about "a pedophile", I'm not exactly > > the expert on UC, > > > but this guy sure ain't in it. > > > > FWIW: A person who preys sexually on post-pubertal > > children is technically not a pedophile. > > > > Pedophiles--those who prey on prepubertal children-- > > have a severe sexual disorder and are (as far as we > > know) incurable.
