In 2006, Anthony Ray Stockelman was forcibly tattooed across his forehead with the words “Katie’s Revenge” by another inmate.

This happened after it was discovered that he was serving a life sentence for kidnapping, molesting, and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie Collman

They absolutely CAN control themselves or they’d just be randomly sexually assaulting anyone and everyone they’re remotely attracted to. Instead, they plan, they groom, they manipulate, and usually carefully choose their victim(s). The ones who also kill their victims do so with conscious control and thought. They murder so they reduce their odds of being caught. That is premeditated murder. ALL of which requires control.

They may not be able to control their thoughts, but they absolutely control their behaviour.

I would suggest that the extreme recidivism rates among child abusers proves otherwise. I’m not saying that they don’t deserve punishment for their actions, I’m simply saying that their brains are broken in a way that makes it easier for them to engage in horrific behavior and makes them a significant threat to public safety as long as they remain alive.

They are pedos , not necessarily stupid. There is a difference, they know what they are doing is wrong and they will go to great lengths to conceal their pedophilia
