I think they are all sexual offences and all should carry the same sentance.

do you think that any of the examples you have provided should be exempt from this?

If a man touches a childs breast by accident do you punish him the same way if he rapes a child? I'm not stating an opinion here I'm asking for yours

I dont think anyone kissing their daughter on the forehead would ever be called a paedophile I think the limits are common sense and are anything of a sexual nature. I agree with Steeljack paedophiles should be properley charged and locked up. I'm not convinced that paedophiles would volunteer for chemical castration.

But grooming children for sex and other acts that are for the sexual gratification of the adult should be punished. You note I didn't specify male, because there have been women who have been convicted of sexual offences against minors too.

Why not just find a tree and hang them? If they are convicted.
