A serial pedophile maims children's souls for their lifetime. I think it deserves the same punishment as murder. Rape of a juvenile is a capital crime in some states, reflecting society's ideas which are similar to mine. One who robs children of innocence, who abuses them sexually deserves the highest penalty we have. Do you feel a serial pedophile, and most are serial offenders with scores of victims, deserves a few years in jail or what. What is the punishment you would give a man who abused say ten children.

I believe fondling a child and exposing oneself should not carry the same penalty as sodomy. I'm pasting this from the FOXnews wesbite:

The 45-year-old "King of Pop" was accused of multiple counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14.
