The Faces of the Child-Porn Pandemic

These are faces of the child-porn pandemic: not the victims, but the perpetrators. They are: a child-porn distributor, a prep-school teacher, a US Army Colonel, a children' pastor, an elementary school teacher, a Republican Committee member, a middle-school principal, and a television engineer. This is just a typical group of arrests and charges made in your typical few weeks. These men all look “normal.” If you saw them on the street, you would probably not take any special notice of them. But, these images show just how deep the hell of porn has dug into the human existence. Porn (child-porn) is not just the vice of dirty-old-men, perverts, or sociopaths; for it has reached into every corner of society. And it all started with soft-core porn. These men, I am sure, grew-up looking at Playboy and Penthouse. As Ted Bundy said, right before his execution: “Pornography can reach in and snatch a kid out of any house today.” This doesn’t excuse their horrendous actions, but it helps to explain them; and gives us some idea of how to stop it.
