I know 'cybersex' and even internet stalkers have somewhat waned away, but the secrecy and ease of becoming totally consumed by this stuff in private lives is enormous. People are not held accountable to a typical, balanced lifestyle. Porn, online sexual fantasies, etc. can be fulfilled to such an extent I think people act out in ways that they honestly believe is acceptable in their minds. They are never confronted with reality until it is too late.</p> Well a huge part of it has to do with isolationism on the internet, I think.

That brokenness is typically a result of unmet needs (care, closeness, protection) in childhood... and heaven knows with every generation we are seeing fewer healthy two-parent families who sacrifice for their kids.</p><p>Crimes should have consequences, no question of that. Imho, the lack of fathers is a big part of the answer to your question.</p> Brokenness in sexuality often leads to perpetrators of sex-related crimes.

Crimes should have consequences, no question of that. Imho, the lack of fathers is a big part of the answer to your question.

What is REALLY sad is when the perps being arrested said, “Oh yeah, I thought he looked familiar.  I watch that show.”

Should be a weekly series, IMHO…

But I know for sure lots of these guys do time and never receive any type of psychological counseling. Thus the cycle is never broken. I wrote a blog called Modern Day lepers Few weeks ago after I heard a story bout sex offenders being forced to live in tents by the beach.

California has bene highlightede in recent news, it would be interesting to see where other states fall in relation to this. No matter where you live an offender may be your neighbor.</p> I agree with the responses thus far and would like to add that in most states “sexual offender” is a broad term used by the states,public and some media that can apply to males and females convicted of any kind of sex related crime–there are varying degrees. Not all of the acts are of an addictive nature and certianly not all involve children.   Media on multiple levels is inundated with sex, you can’t even watch a commercial without a ‘sexy’ woman laying all over the car etc. We are in a “If it feels good do it and anything goes” society where moral decline is a buzzword.
