Any crime or supposed crime involving children always brings out the worst in society and demonstrates just how flawed the justice system in this country is. These problems exist with most crimes but they're exacerbated when children are involved because people have this innate need to prove they care about children, to prove that children are the most important thing in the world and anyone that doesn't sacrifice everything to protect children is sub-human scum. If the police hadn't tried to prosecute this man and a year later he was caught with actual child pornography the police officers involved would have campaigns against them, demanding they're sacked, demanding they lose their pensions and some would go as far as to demand they are put in prison.
Ask the average person what a paedophile is and they'll say someone that rapes children. Ask the average person what should happen to paedophiles and they'll say they should be given the death penalty. People are not rational in normal circumstances, add children and abuse to the mix and any semblance of rationality is lost. A justice system built on the values of a society that acts like this can never be good and will always have problems like this.
