All the previous chat contents have to be scrutinised carefully.The authorities could have led them into a easy and greedy trap which any innocent mind could have found hard to resist.
Then they find themselves caught,panic and sign any papers to get out of the muddle.If the act is pardonable with a warning then maybe this needs to be done with psychological counselling aimed at remodelling their thoughts for creative and intellectual pursuits rather than labelling their image for a life time,for the wrong that was never done.
This way they themselves repent their actions and would be an example for other convicted pedophiles to change their acts.
