I didn't think I had anything else to add to this discussion but this post reminded me of an incident I hadn't thought of in years: my ex's next boyfriend after me was a 20-something guy from Colombia. He was taking a piss at a Friendly's restaurant in Medford when some 12-year-old kid said hi to him. He wasn't cautious (came from a country where nudity is, I guess, no big deal) and the kid saw his privates. The father asked what took so long when the kid came out of the bathroom (this was long enough ago that parents weren't yet helicoptering over every bathroom visit). To make a long story short, police came on scene, this gentle guy who wouldn't hurt a fly let alone molest a kid wound up in jail, and was deported to his homeland immediately upon release from jail months later.
