Complicated.

Repeat Sexual offenders such as Pedophiles and (maybe) Rapists....on one hand I wouldn't be against, on the other.. I"m not exactly for.

Rape is about power and no balls might not make a difference there.

I don't think this is the answer, but I also disagree with putting your 18 year old streaker on the sex offender list.

You don't need a penis or testicles to commit a sex crime.

I personally think a psychological eval would have to be done to determine if the root cause of the problem was sexual or violent. Usually, in most rape cases, it's rooted in violence. However, someone like the guy in the article definitely has a problem rooted in his sexual drive. If removing the testicles lowers the sex drive in these type people, I'd be for it for repeat offenders.

I'd be more in favor of chemical castration. A sex drive nullifying pill, shot, or something...

I think a trial should be held, after which the victims dad and brothers and friends get to beat the s*** out of the guy. In general I think that should happen without a trial, but I wouldnt want it to happen to people who very likely are innocent (Ahem, Duke).
