re: #446 Obdicut

I can easily believe that this particular father wasn’t actually doing anything sexual; various countries have various amounts of comfort with nudity, touching, conversation, etc. about sex with kids. Pedophilia is something that most parents couldn’t force themselves to commit.

But the claim that it couldn’t be actual sexual abuse because of the cultural background is ridiculous. Quick googling around finds a report from SDSU saying that the authorities admit to 300 cases of child sexual abuse a year, and that an NGO related to protection of children estimates 2000 child prostitutes in Albania.

There are no gays in Iran.
