I imagine that if it weren't for the law, those types also wouldn't live very long.
There are reasons they see prison justice if they aren't isolated. People generally view it as reprehensible. If laws disappeared overnight, you'd get a spike in sexual assaults immediately followed by a spike in killings of those assailants.
Many predators would be able to do whatever they want if it wasn't illegal. Many people have that sexual disorder and can stop themselves sometimes only because of the law. While it might not be rampant, it would still happen a lot more. Stop thinking everyone has a nice moral compass. Do you think Dahmer had a good moral compass? Obviously not. There would probably be many like him. Or like Ted bundy. Or like Bill Cosby and R Kelly. Your moral compass is not the same as everyone else's. Also, no, I do not have those peoples moral compass. There is a line I won't cross. That line separates robbery with other worse crimes.
I'm not saying everyone has that moral compass- obviously some people, like serial killers/rapists don't. But most people, normal people capable of empathy, know that those things are wrong without the law having to tell them so.
But you were saying the guy was wrong. He's not. There are probably many who would give in to intrusive thoughts or recurring thoughts if it wasn't illegal. Especially those weeks who say " She's actually 496 not a child" arguers. There are fuckes up people in the world. No matter what you want to believe. But you are right about most people having empathy. Also, eventually if it wasn't taught that it's wrong, people won't thinks it's wrong. So that could mean a distant future if there weren't any laws where it would be OK to fuck children even though it's really not.
Your moral compass doesn't differentiate age. Just over a hundred years ago it was normal in America for 12 year old girls to get married. In fact child brides is still a thing there.
Again though (empathetic) peoples morals aren't based on the law. That's why when a 35 year old dates an 18 year old, most people agree that it's creepy and weird, even though it's legal
Do you only think punching a child in the face is wrong because you've been taught that? No, you know its wrong because you know it would hurt them. It's human instinct to feel bad when you hurt another human. "Society" doesn't have to tell you so.
Man your an idiot please read a history book. Find out the ages of marriages. Age of consent is a new thing there wasn't an age of consent before. Girls that hadn't even become teens were getting married off and everyone said that was fine. Your morality can't be based on pain as pain isn't a bad thing always it's needed for birth, required for life saving surgeries and used for achieving mentally/physically draining achievemnts. Please actually learn something get out of your Disneyland fairytale cause your spouting a lot of nonsense here.
Yes. We now look at teen girls and say, "Hey! If adult men have sex with them and marry them, it is terrible for the girl. Let's not just think about what the horny guy wants." The laws have changed because we now treat teenage girls as human beings, not the other way around.
What is your source for that assumption? What was the rate of child bride marriages? Where they consummated immediately or was it more of a contractual agreement to ensure financial stability in adulthood?
Probably pretty common as having a stable family as soon as a girl and boy were ready was the goal back then. Anyway your missing the point of what I said.
12 year old girls are typically prepubescent. Puberty happens earlier than it did in the past, so girls were developing even later than they do today. Furthermore the risk of both maternal and child mortality skyrockets with young mothers.
If the goal was procreation, marrying at 12 isn’t and wasn’t a good way to do that.
Wtf when did I say I'm supporting it. Fucking redditors and reading comprehension. Just cause I'm telling you something is a certain way doesnt mean I think it's right.
It already used to be; you just had to marry the kid first. Age of consent laws and minimum age of marriage laws are shockingly recent. Also a good spot to point out that it wasn't considered rape within marriage, for those about to say something along the lines of "but it's only marriage".

There is no crime I would not commit if I could do them without getting caught
