Question is how do you tell the difference between someone researching

Actually, I'd say YOU DO have to watch someone being murdered, or raped, to fully appreciate it (that's 'appreciate the horror, cruelty, malice, or evil').

The problem with paedophilia is that the 'watching' bit is part of the enjoyment, more than other crimes, and because it involves innocent children, is so emotive that it will easily make people irrational and defensive - always a tricky subject to cover.

Why is it illegal to depict realism?

Seriously Mike, think about that statement for a moment and you will soon reason as to why.

It is, perhaps, interesting to note that the legal age of consent in Italy is fourteen.

You don't think that he's there for that, do you? Surely not?
