Well if that is the case, then I suppose by the time we walk we all might as well be caged, since we all have such the capability to break laws.

Only because there are no current laws prohibiting such behavior. Technology has brought us to this point. The victim is his daughter.
I dont think an action needs to be witnessed for it to be a crime.
And as for all this discussion about legal or not legal. I really don't care, I do not run my life according to some governements "laws" But live by what I believe is moral and ethically right. So by that reasoning he is a nasty sick mutha that will pay karmically for a long long time

It's got everything to do with homosexuality.
I'm not talking about what type of sexual impulse or inclination or how they differ, I'm talking about how society considers them and acts upon them.
Go back two centuries in the Christian society, and homosexuality was considered as wile and abominable as paedophilia. Since then, our consideration of homosexuality has changed, and we've become more tolerant of homosexuals, even though it's work in progress, and many people still do consider it 'ungodly', 'unnatural', 'revolting', etc.
We still have zero-tolerance towards paedophilia though, even if they are - like homosexuals - people born with a certain sexual desire/inclination, deviation if you like.
None of them asked to become paedophiles, none of them chose it. Bin Laden chose to become a terrorist and mass-murderer, Bernard Madoff chose to become an embezzler.
We should punish intent, not genetics. Paedophiles have their cross to bear, they have to live all their lives suppressing their sexual desires. Some make it, some don't. No wonder many of them go nuts and become Catholic priests, they're so ashamed of themselves that they impose the strictest dogmas to be 'purified'. It's a lot easier being a shoe-fetishist IMO.

No, I never said that. I said that the western society has evolved. It's still custom to marry off 9 year old girls in Yemen. I don't like it, but somehow I understand it. They're more in tune with their ancestral traditions than we are. As I think Boondock-Saint pointed out, once upon a time, when life-expectancy was somewhere between 20-40 years, it made sense to marry as early as possible. Childhood was not a consideration in those days, survival was, but we can afford to let our kids be kids as long as possible.

What studies are you talking about? Just some 'studies' you heard about on the internet or TV?

It seems like you've got violent tendencies within you. You just threatened to take the law in your own hands and commit an act of violence. Both are serious criminal offenses that merit several years in prison.

But you're probably just using the internet and forums like these as a sewer for your dammed-up frustrations, as so many people are. Right?

i dont understand how any of you are trying to defend. if you are above the age of majority. you should not do anything with anyone who is under it. if you do its known as pedophilia and you go to jail for it.
Please, look up the definition of pedophilia, it is defined as attraction to prepubescent children. Nature also does not wait till 18, contrary to what many people here think. Bottom line is, you ought to wait until the girl is capable of giving informed consent, but that does not mean that attraction to younger girls is not normal. Biologically, it often is.
What do you mean its normal?? well i must be totally abnormal then cos i dont go looking at little girls licking my lips.... are you trying to tell us something? i'm getting the words....NONCE

When secondary sexual traits are developed, it is normal to be attracted to such girl. This can be true even for some 13 year old girls, too. It is not normal to be attracted to ones own daughter, tough.
