Well then how about you clarify your meaning? What is it that you mean when you use the term "molester"? In the vernacular, most people assume it means someone who rapes or sodomizes a child.

That is incorrect. Making light of what Josh Duggar did is wrong.

Child sexual abuse or child molestation is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation.[1][2] Forms of child sexual abuse include asking or pressuring a child to engage in sexual activities (regardless of the outcome), indecent exposure (of the genitals, female nipples, etc.) to a child with intent to gratify their own sexual desires or to intimidate or groom the child, physical sexual contact with a child, or using a child to produce child pornography.[1][3][4]

I am not making light of it, I am pointing out that there are various degrees which fall under the umbrella of that definition. I don't consider them all deserving of equal punishment. It depends on what he did, which is one of the things i'm trying to find out.
