Person X is going to babysit your kids. Would you rather he found the porn in the garbage and watched it, or he didn't see the porn in the garbage? Or is there no preference between the two?
I'll ask again, is he predisposed to molest children?
He's sexually attracted to children, obviously.
Then I don't really care what he's done 15 minutes prior to showing up to babysit. I don't want him near my kids.
So you have no preference.
So what are potential effects of watching child porn? My opinions on what could happen were poo-pooed by you and tec.
I think it's the behavior of a deviant. Deviant behavior isn't good for society. That said, if he watched one CD he found in the trash over and over again in the privacy of his home, there's not much effect on society if that's where the line is drawn. He's spending time doing something unproductive but we all waste time. However, as it's a deviant behavior, I'm not sure that line can be drawn. I believe someone that obsessed would probably want more. Therein lies the problem. Now he's on the fringe. Outside the norm.
But, if he draws that line, there is no further effect of viewing said video that isn't already there.
