It's not pedohysteria, not at the root

It's the fear of "spiritual death," to put it figuratively.

Notice that the parents are talking about what they believe the effects have been on their children. They're actually saying that they will never get to know the person their child would have otherwise become. they believe their children have been scarred for life. Given that, can you really blame them for the way hate on the defendant?

Sometimes I tire of pointing out the pitfalls of pedocentrism, but this hysteria is rooted in what they believe the effects of underage sex are, not regarding pedophiles at all. The offender could have been a non-pedophile and if he had done the same thing, they would be just as horrified. It's the actions, not the person. The pedophile just happens to become the scapegoat due to the essentializing of supposedly abusive behavior as originating in a supposedly abusive person. They conclude that only a horrible person could do something so horrible.

And honestly the guy doesn't come across as the most savory of characters with that kind of age range and that number of kids. I doubt he marketed himself as a "manny" like that as a way of looking for YFs instead of simply sex partners.
