the DSM
A paedophile is someone who has some sort of sexual attraction to minors despite the gender of the intended victim and is seen as deviant behaviour by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, DSM, the guide for psychologists on such matters.
Some of the early comments thus far are pointing to the above mentioned conflation and is cause for concern as it leaves a misconception of the issues and can be problematic for public LGBT advocacy. It is really heartbreaking when stories like this come to hand.
The Star reported:
A St Andrew businessman, who was caught on tape performing a disturbing sexual act on a little boy, has been arrested and charged with gross indecency.
The man, who operates a game shop, was charged by detectives from the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA), after a report was made to the Stony Hill police.
He was captured on video performing the disturbing act on the little boy in his house from which he operates a game shop.
In a 7:25-seconds amateur footage of the incident, which was captured through a keyhole, the accused can be seen stroking the child, who he placed in his lap to play a video game.
The child, believed to be about seven years old, is seeing clutching the handset and playing video games as he was held by the accused who seemingly carried out the act.
Having apparently enjoyed himself, the accused released the child from his lap, wiped off his member, and then stood and pulled up his pants.
A senior officer at the Stony Hill police told THE STAR that the pervert is to face the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court on December 20.
Hope proper evidence can be brought to bear and the relevant judgement made by the bench.
Peace & tolerance
