No. I'd give them a pass if they're so mentally disabled they legit don't know what they're doing. They are rare but they exist. If you've ever been to a state mental hospital, you know the kind of patient. The kind that have the mentality of a house pet.
As for "people screw up" there's a difference between a predator who targets toddlers, vs a 13-16yo kid that molests a cousin vs a 21yo horny college guy who knows better but decides to bump uglies with that 16yo jail bait anyway. He's an real idiot, and it's bad what he did, but does he deserve to be executed for it? Only if he reoffends. Stick him in prison, let him think about his bad decision for a decade. When he gets out hopefully he has a clearer head and is now 10 years separated from the influence of young adult hormones and girls gone wild pr0n. That 13-16yo range? That is the hard stuff. They need therapy and monitoring. No easy answers.
If the college dude doesn't learn tho... No more chances.
And don't get me started on pederasty. That's a social disease where the patients become the infective agent themselves.
