I was thinking how the working-with-children issue does seem to make things worse, but in some ways I want to say that's unfair, because I think of how many teacher friends I have who have to use code names on the Internet because they could get in trouble for any careless picture of them with a glass of wine, or a slipped-out swear word, or... whatever. On the other hand, statutory rape is a much bigger betrayal of trust than mere evidence that people who work with children aren't perfect angels.

Hitler and Manson are hobbyist-artists, professional mass murderers. If someone is a professional artist and only a hobbyist-murderer... okay maybe not THAT extreme...
