Newsflash, DUmmies--pervs existed EVERYWHERE, even way back in the day. Only thing is, it simply wasn't discussed in "polite society". Out of sight, out of mind, as it were.
It's YOUR policies of letting them run rampant (NAMBLA, et al) and "out of the closet" that creates the false impression that this is somehow a new phenomenon. Oh yeah, and not punishing them. Back in the day, perv gets caught, he better hope the local cops caught up with him before the victim's family did. "What's that ya say? He just up and disappeared last night? Never left any indication of where he went? Well, that's a damn shame. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for him but if you see him, let us know, okay?"
