I think there has to be stringent measures in place to reduce risk of reoffending.

Some will be too high risk to ever be let out no matter what mitigation is put in place

Reducing the risk is just not good enough imo I value children's lives more than taking a gamble on a child rapists ability for rehabilitation

Why are illnesses not viewed all the same?

Agree RE rape.

Like I originally said I don't excuse the behaviour under ANY circumstances, but I view it as an illness.

Ask Ollie what he feels about having sex with trans people, since it’s a disorder. Can they consent to sex, in his eyes?

If its seen as a medical condition, it may explain the light sentences for people viewing CP on the net.

For example...here is a man charged with 50 child sex offences, walking out of court

There was s guy on the news yesterday who had been caught with what was described as some of the worst examples of child pornographic photos - 11,000 of them !!!!

He escaped prison and was given a suspended sentence due to a ‘good character reference’ !!!!!

A good character ffs !!!!!!!!

Sorted.

I get what you're saying
What gets removed from the female predators/ abusers though ? . Especially all those female teachers we keep hearing about... grooming young pupils.

Anyway I have to strongly disagree with OP , dementia
will never be anywhere close to paedophilia.

A paedophile is usually a perverted twisted sicko who chooses to harm children.

Someone suffering from dementia ,has no control over
losing their memory and it changes their entire personality. They become scared and lonely.

I know there can be trauma related and mental health issues involved, causing someone to harm others. There's just no comparison ... especially when innocent children are getting preyed upon.
