Firstly, we are required to forgive the transgressor, Secondly we are required to permit the transgressor to get on with his life once he has shown remorse and made some form of restitution or recompense. And that should be an end of it!

While I agree with some of the points you have made, I cannot agree with the part I have used here.
If I found out that anyone had done anything to my children, there would be no forgiveness. How can you forgive anyone who would do something like that to your children? They are not in a position to refuse, and even if they did, an adult's strength is far more than that of a child.
I understand that a lot of victims want to forget and get on with their lives, but for the sake of the safety of our children, we can't just sweep things like this under the carpet.
However painful it may be, people need to know that these things happen, and a spell in prison won't change someone's sexual appetite (for want of a better word).
How many times have you heard about sex offenders who serve time and go and do the same thing again?
