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

An illness to have it maybe but a choice to act on it. Anyone who has acted on it should never be allowed in to society again imo. No innocent child is worth the risk of trying to rehabilitate someone who would do that. Someone with dementia is a risk to themselves and when that risk is too hard to control or manage they usually need to be put in a home or hospital where they can be looked after professionally.
