I simply do not know. From the relatively little I have heard, it appears at a minimum that he had what I would call a pathological need to be "friendly" to children -- in a way that met his needs more than the children's. How far it went beyond that is a matter of fact -- and getting to facts would be easier, I think, if so much fear were not involved -- fear of what happens if you tell the absolute truth.

Unfortunately there are some people who think its fine to have sex with minors - which is why the NAMBLA association exists and why some people go overseas to countries, that don't have strong laws against this. How do you think this problem can be solved?

Again, I don't know. My impression is that the NAMBLA people are good at fooling themselves (or should I say lying?) about their motives. On the other hand, making an enormous sky-is-falling deal about whatever happened cannot be good for the children themselves, in how they see what happened to them. What they see is a bunch of adults in a tizzy about how to handle it; how can they be expected to handle it better?
