EDITORIAL HIT THE ROAD, JACK PEDOPHILE WEB PUBLISHER SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS.THERE'S nothing illegal about what admitted pedophile pedophile Forensic psychiatry A person with pedophilia; there are an estimated 500,000 pedophiles in the world. See Child prostitution, Megan's law, Pedophilia. Jack McClellan has been up to -- but there ought to be. McClellan is the pervert who ran a Web site advising would-be child molesters about where they could find prey in Seattle, complete with photos of potential victims. At least he did until parents in Washington state got so mad they hounded him out of town. Then, he came to Southern California. For the last few months, McClellan has been operating out of the Santa Clarita area. His site is, thankfully, down at the moment, after his Internet service provider Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. pulled the plug.

"I've listened to all the criticism, the outrage about the photographs," McClellan said. "I want to make this clear: I'm definitely not going to go to these events, and I'm not going to be taking pictures where I'm focusing on girls, or going back to the computer at home to crop them out to focus on girls. I'm not doing that anymore at all." It would be nice to believe him, but child predators have a terrible recidivism recidivism: see criminology. rate, and McClellan hasn't even undergone any sort of treatment. That's why some sort of legal protection is necessary. To that end, two Valencia attorneys -- themselves fathers of young girls -- have filed for a restraining order restraining order: see injunction. that would bar McClellan from taking pictures of children and posting them to the Web. At the same time, the area's Republican Assembly member, Cameron Smyth, has authored legislation that would prohibit using the Internet to promote or support child molesters. Critics might raise objections on 1st Amendment grounds, but the Bill of Rights was never intended to help criminals who want to abuse minors. The sex-abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles ought to be all the reminder we need that those who fail to stop child predators will ultimately bear much responsibility for the crimes the offenders commit. The law exists to protect us from the dangers in our midst -- especially the dangers to our children posed by the likes of Jack McClellan. |
