I just think it's a deterrent. As I said earlier, I'm calling it an entry stage problem. It's just as serious when somebody is watching child porn: It is an entry point. They haven't actually perpetrated any acts on a child, other than, obviously, watching the Internet porn, which is also not right. But I think if at that level there is tougher sentencing, people are going to think twice about even watching Internet porn, let alone purchasing it.
Again, I would like to see the sentences be even tougher, but at least we're giving a message. I applaud this government, because I think this government is very tough on crime, and they're giving the message that it's not okay. As I was saying a little earlier, once someone crosses that line into a serious addiction, I can't guarantee that this is going to deter a serious pedophile, but what it would do is to get him off the street. We just need to get them off the street and protect our children and create a safe place.
