Re: He's just as guilty

I agree. There are always degrees of nastiness, even within a nasty crime. If someone had abused my child, and later someone else unconnected with the original abuse had viewed pictures of it, and then both came to court and were sentenced - Both are nasty, but I would feel that a grave injustice had been done if the system failed to distinguish between them, and did not punish the person that had actually made contact with and subsequently physically abused and harmed my child, more harshly than someone else who sat in a room somewhere and saw a picture of it.
