And even then the fact that the person is a pedophile doesn't even matter, and isn't the issue at all. In fact, I don't even understand why anyone would be up in arms over someone's sexual preference. The fact is that said person would be a rapist and raping someone is wrong because you're forcing a non-consenting party into a potentially harmful situation.
