Oh, sorry, I was under the impression what you said applied to any non-adult person, so I see that part of my post really has nothing to do with what you said. But all we know from the OP is he was arrested for child porn in manga form. I though any minor would classify as child porn.

Still, I understand that the profile of these people who rape children would be mentally ill, but can that be generalised to anyone being turned on by the fantasy of it? What's the ratio between just enjoying fictional porn of the kind and actually abusing children? There doesn't seem to be a correlation between the two in different cultures according to statistics shown here. Now I'm the first to say this kind of "analisys" is not very conclusive, but it certainly doesn't seem to hint at your assumption.

I'm not sure what the laws are, but really, andy porn depicting pubesent children isn't "child porn". It's illegal to depict minors (because minors cannot legally give consent to participate in such a movie in the first place), but only porn depicting pre-pubescent kids is "child porn".

Actually, you have to differentiate from the act of molesting a child and paedophilia. Paedophilia is a mental illness, and it implies sexual attraction towards pre-pubescent children. Not all child molesters are paedophiles, and not all child molesters are crazy. Any person turned on by the ideea of having sex with a pre-pubescent child (which would mean children 13 and younger) is a paedophile. Most paeodophiles usually end up abusing children, and because they're mentally ill, you cannot assume they can control themselves.
