yeah, its freedom of the press. it happens to celebrities all the time. they dont give permission for some photos but they still end up on TV.

But what the pedophiles have to do for the show? "as in the time where they made that guy strip naked and they even read out his fantasy about a girl doing a sex act on a cat." That sounds like the guy gave permission.

Identifying the person to the public is OK, to my mind. I agree with freedom of the press - if it's true, and they didn't make the person do it, it's OK to tell it.

I saw that one that one. No, I'm pretty sure he didn't give permission.

They ought to expand that so pedophiles can never be sure who they are talking to. Hire a bunch of people to bait them. People could even volunteer to do it for free. It would cut down on it a lot I think.
