Most of the replies in this topic are disgusting. This man was a sexual deviant and no doubt did terrible things, but that doesn't make it OK to cheer on suicide, or to lament this person won't himself be sexually abused now that he is dead. Just because a person did wrong--even perhaps the worst wrong--doesn't somehow make their rape or suicide that is considered necessary because of the way we treat prisoners good.

In a humane, advanced society, prison should be about rehabilitation and restitution, not torture, violence, or slavery. Meanness in the justice system doesn't deter crime or decrease recidivism. And there are always mistakes: people have been convicted and served out long sentences for everything from theft to murder to child abuse and later be found to not have been guilty. You can't take back what happened to those folks.

In a humane society, people like this wouldn't do such terrible things to children. And releasing sex predators has only proven that they'll continue to harm others, so take your high and mighty ideals and shove it.
