[Extend a Hand]

I would have thought that a person who derived sexual gratification from possessing and viewing child pronography where child pornography is defined as material depicting sexual acts involving pre-pubescent children is a pedophile.

I think pedophilia should be considered a criminal mental illness and that pedophiles should be segregated from society in some manner until such time as a cure or 100% effective treatment is found. I recently read an article about a study that said researches had found distinct abnormalities in the brain scans of known pedophiles.

Anyone involved in the making, marketing and distribution of child-pornography(as defined above) for personal profit should face draconian sentences-- life in prison with out parole.
