25. there have, however, been cases
of people being labeled pedophiles when they are nothing of the kind. One case I can think of, I belive it was in Ohio, involved a woman who had taken photos of her kids for the family album.

One of those photos was of her kids in the tub taking a bath. She was reported to the police as a potential pedophile by the shop she took the photos to to be developed. I believe she eventually was convicted of one sex crime or other.

Basically, even if you're innocent, if you get labeled as someone who committed a sex crime, that's dexactly what you are, and you're treated like it. Even if acquitted, the stigma remains.

Not that true pedophiles shouldn't be convicted, but let's apply some reason when we do so.
