Don't get me wrong, but whats wrong with breaking the law? What really matters is whether what you are doing is wrong and if you will get caught or not. I think you should modify this statement or remove it. For example, a person might have a fetish for some material which is illegal in their country, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to consume it as long as they can do so with little risk.

Children are not consenting adults. Child pornography is illegal because they are not 18+, and are put through abuse by being exploited and raped. No one of any status is allowed to watch child pornography. I can't watch child pornography, old ladies can't watch child pornography, no one can. It may be one thing to admire children in secret, but to lure real-life children and involve children in your sexual fantasies is not okay in any sense or reasoning. Pedophiles cannot control their actions, making them sex offenders when they abduct children or manipulate them into being abused and raped, and by law they have to avoid certain situations like living near schools or visiting toy stores, kids' clothing stores, perhaps even entire malls where any children will be present.
So when I am talking about fetishes I am talking about performing certain sexual deeds such as BDSM, or dressing in a taboo or explicit way. You couldn't do that to a child and have any logical reasoning to make that okay. It's like saying "It wasn't my fault I crashed the car, it was the alcohol, so alcohol is to blame and not me."
I'm not going into breaking the law...breaking the law is breaking the law...If you have a fetish for raping and murdering women, is that okay to do so as long as you're not caught? It really depends on the severity, but breaking the law is breaking the law and it's really not advisable to do so.
