The thing is we don't know what sort of culture this individual has grown up in, and what is seen as acceptable in his local community.
Not trying to make excuses for him (I think it is very wrong and he is a sick fecker), but knee jerk kill the paedophile reactions rarely help. There was a case a few years ago where a small island (I believe it was near Australia) that was under British rule had an outcry because all of the men on the island had been accused of being paedophiles.
On the island it was tradition that all girls were married off when they hit their 14th birthday and they were usually married off to men in their 30's. This had been going on for hundreds of years so nobody on the island had any problems with it and it was seen as completely normal, however some bureaucrats had wandered over found out this was happening and tried to bring the full weight of the law to bear. This was originally reported as a paedophile cult living on an island.
After trying to use the law to lock up all the men who had done this they found out that every man on the island had done it and their wives were not happy at the thought of losing their husbands and I believe they eventually backed down feeling stupid and it never got talked about again.
I agree that this case is very different on the face of it, but nobody yet knows the full truth of the incident, maybe we should reign back a little bit until we do know what has happened, then we can talk about stringing him up by his todger .
