He is still a Sick Pedophile - Put him away for a few years and never allow him near children again.

Looking at pretty girls is ok, no law against that. Taking pictures and video... yeah not so good. The guy gets an 'A' for honesty though.

What if your Daughter, your Sister, your Mother, your Girlfriend - had been Violated by this Pervert - would you still give him an 'A' for Honesty or would you like to Punch that Cantaloupe Head of his?

I don't understand why you remove my comment pointing out that these, most of the time, are not pedophiles, but actually people that, driven by a market from the rich, obtain and sell photos and videos in order to make money. Why would you chose to censor this? Makes no sense

I think he should rot in jail for the rest of his life. I hope that he gets charged with each individual minor that's on his camera.
