I'm not a fan of continuing the victimization either, but then, it's not like the victims will ever have access to the data base anyway. As for tracking them, in the case of pedophiles, I'm not sure I have a problem with that, as we track sex offenders already.

That would be nice, but we can't depend on them, and that's the problem. Prosecuting them after the fact is great for justice and retribution, but that doesn't undo the damage caused to the kids.
