text: Lynne Curry you do harm by spreading misinformation about child pornography recidivism rates. I have worked on this particular issue and the fact is the recidivism rate for child pornography is low and the truth is there are people on the sex offender list (for child pornography) that should not be on the sex offender list and yet their lives have been destroyed because of it. Not every individual on the sex offender list is a threat and not every individual on that list should be on the list.
