    In an unusual case, Swedish prosecutors charged 23 women ranging in age from 38 up to 70 years old with possessing child pornography. Each of the women were in contact with the same 43 year old man, and half of them admitted having sex with the man.

    It seems that the man sent them kiddie porn and yet they continued their online and offline relationship with him, some of them going so far as to send him pictures of children in their homes. The women claim they wanted to continue their relationship with him and so they allowed him to send them kiddie porn. The women may face up to two years in prison, while the man faces six years.

    So you see it is not only men who are involved in child pornography and the abuse of children. It's just not reported as often.

    ^ My thoughts as well. Though they certainly bare some responsibility.

    i don't see how they could be the victims here, i don't recall reading anything about being forced

    i think the children are the obvious victims. i hope the sick bastards rot in jail.

    Good points. My issue was mainly with this being stated as an example of women involved in child pornography, when the porn seemed not to be the main issue here by any stretch (except that that's what they were arrested for).

    that's another way of looking at it. i suppose it's because of the stigma of pedophilia and being a man

    it's wrong, but it surprises people that women can be. it has always sickened me, because just as many of the female teachers in my secondary school where blatant pedophiles. one women was let of the hook for sleeping with young teenage boys three times.

    may i add, that two male teachers did not had these 'chances'.

    but i see what your saying, it makes perfect sense.

    Good point but not one I completely agree with.

    What were those women thinking? That it was acceptable? Decent? They were fine with it? It makes me so sick to my stomach. Those women allowed it to happen and at the very least they condoned it. Some of them took part in the abuse themselves. The sentences are worryingly short.

    I hate that sexist bull shit.

    Were they actually pedophiles though? Though you say the boys were young teenagers, it sounds like they'd hit puberty?

    It looks like (as evidenced by the number of women) the women were carefully selected to be insecure and manipulable by this creep. They should NOT be getting two year sentences, or at least they should be waived and given treatment.

    The man has serious manipulating and child abusing problems. The women just have manipulable abusable failure at life problems.

    I mean, some of them might be nasty people. but they were manipulated into this, obviously.

    yeah, well they were fourteen

    that's a pedophile in my book. she was in her forties. maybe it's just me, but i find it wrong - since she, and the men also, were in a position of power and influence.

    and anyways, why not me????? :eggnog:

    well, they may have been manipulated but they still have a responsibility to acknowledge their part in it... reminds me a little of women who stay with abusive men... it's called enabling... they need treatment and so does the guy... very sad...

    I heard someone say on CNN a couple of days ago that the US gov't looks at sex with anyone under 18 as pederasty, even though the textbook definition is under 13 yrs old.

    18 yrs old would never fly in more sophisticated societies like Europe, and even less sophisticated societies. And what about all those Americans who marry children as young as 14, and it's perfectly legal?

    Why does a civilly sanctioned marriage suddenly annul the concept of pederasty (as defined by the US gov't)? Either the child is too young for sex or not. A piece of paper and informal ceremony (and perhaps parents consent) are all that is necessary for adults to legally be allowed to have sex with children in many states in the USA. Every night tens of thousands of children under 16 in the US are having sex with adults, legally.

    Can you smell hypocrisy?

    I wonder how many children are forced to marry and have sex with much older adults against their will? The Mormons are notorious for this.

    So hearing that Swedish women thought kiddie porn wasn't such a big deal isn't surprising, ESPECIALLY in Sweden, where sex is regarded as just a bodily function. Or it used to be a couple of generations ago. Now the moral police are everywhere watching everything, even in good ol', once liberal, but now uptight, Sweden. I need only point out how Julian Assange has been treated there to show how much things have changed in Sweden in a few decades.

    In these here parts "moral police" is an oxymoron.

    When I visited Sweden back in the 80s they weren't such prudes. And as far back as the 60s they were known for being one of the most liberal countries about sex.

    Kids in Sweden were encouraged to explore and have sex as soon as they could. That was the cultural milieu back then.

    In fact, I can remember back when people thought sex was FUN!

    Now it's used as a tool for repression, political assassination and social manipulation. We've gone back to the dark ages of sexual repression, despite all the porn available.

    The level of sexual repression hasn't been this high since the 50s & early 60s. I read a study where they found that a big percentage of Japanese young people are not interested in having sexual relations at all. It seems they are fearful of real life encounters and there are so many social prohibitions that they find their release on the Internet instead.

    Can you imagine all the sex crimes that would be committed if there wasn't so much porn available now?

    Two different things. Pederasty IS sex with someone under 18.

    It's male homosexual sex with an adolescent (puberty to adult). Pedophilia relates to prepubescent children (under 13. Ish!)

    It is very wrong. A teacher should know better.

    You were one of the lucky ones.

    Nobody gets born this way, everyone gets manipulated into it, that's true.

    But there is such thing to humans as personal responsibility. Unless doctors prove one is actually insane and thus not accountable for his actions.

    And in the vast majority of similar cases the study shows that people consciously trade other people's wellbeing for their personal pleasures. It is something that can't be "excused" or you become one of them.
