Quote - Someone who is sexually deviant does not have a choice to begin with. Those are the urges they experience, period.
That is absolute nonsense when it comes to acting on any impulse. Most particularly obvious when you have an offender who goes to very great and very sane and controlled lengths to conceal their behavior and to evade law enforcement. There is obviously no lack of control at all in the typical sex offender, it's only a defense used in court.
Quote - In my instance it's being jailed for a moral crime which has no victim which may in fact result in the criminal turning to physical crimes through feeling that there is no other way to satisfy his urges without being prosecuted.
Same can be said for any category of punishment for any criminal offense, "victimless" has zero to do with that. Society shouldn't punish criminals, it may make them meaner!
