I would be most concerned about all of it being on your computer. In the United states if that kind of porn was found out (generally a long going investigation of tracking kiddy porn and where it goes) it would land you in jail. Anyone watching that kind of filth will eventually take it into the real world. There are no excuses for this at all, and your first priority is your children, not protecting and making excuses for this low life.

This guy was never who you thought he was, OP. He hid his real self from you. He hid it because he knew that part of him is disturbing and wrong. Hell, he's still hiding it. Do not buy into the innocent act. He lied to you, tried to squirm his way out using flimsy excuses.

Only men who know they're guilty do this so the whole idea of "I didn't know it was wrong" doesn't fly. He knows, OP. He's known for a long time. He just doesn't want you to know what a creep he truly is.

When I was a kid I knew that adults desiring to have sex with children is wrong. Every kid knows this. So it's impossible for this guy to 'discover it was wrong' when he got his first gf as a teen. That's a load of BS to make him come across as some tragic soul. He doesn't deserve your sympathy. But he knows you are a kind person who likes to think the best of people, so he tries to take advantage of that.

And when it comes to the computer: if you hate yourself for being into kiddie porn you delete every bit of it off your computer. You sure as hell don't let it stay on it for 7 years "and forget about it". He was always aware that stuff was on there. He was just confident you'd never find it. You say that computer has been untouched for all those years. Who says that's true? He does. Well, he's probably lying.

This is not some innocent "curiosity killed the cat" teenage experimentation phase. Wake up, please. I know this is hard, but you have to understand that this person you ache for doesn't exist. It's just a shell to hide what he truly is: a pedophile.

There are treatments for them available. There are pedophiles who manage to curb their desires and live a relatively normal life. They're the ones who take the initiative and seek out help. Your bf is just making excuses and trying to get you to feel sorry for him through mentions of suicide. He hasn't tried to deal with this disturbing issue. Instead, he hid it from you and put your kids at risk when agreeing to live together with you. That's not kindness, OP. That's a man who is secretly okay with being a pedophile.

I'm not trying to be harsh here on purpose, just hoping to open up your eyes to who he truly is. Be glad you're rid of him. Now your children are truly safe. I don't know how old they are but are you truly sure he's never touched them? If they're very young it may have happened but they may not know what to do or say.

I was once engaged to a man who told me he had sick pornography on his computer because he liked the thrill of having the 'taboo' material, but didn't like what the material was. I was not even 18, incredibly naive, and I believed him. We broke up when he told me that he did something I would never forgive him for. He didn't have to tell me what he did. I knew.

Men who have child porn have it because they are more than curious. Most of them do end up acting out their depraved fantasies.

I am glad you got away. Never look back. And never ever invite strange men to live with you an your girls!

Look i am not ill.

I am confused, messed up, and disappointed in myself.

I have known this man a long time as we went to high school together and same year. He worked with me and i was his boss.

Not once did i think all this. he worked with me for 5 years and then i got together with him. Before that he had a girlfriend before me and no children was in that relelationship.

I knew would have thought it and i am not making excuses. I dont want to make sure as he was younger and maybe curiousity killed the cat everyone does it but most of us think no that aint right and i will never go there again.

dont know if he was just young and made a huge mistake and seen this was wrong and never did it again. I know for a fact he hasnt hurt my children or anyone else as i know.

I not saying he may never do it as i cant see into the future but i hope he can find help before he does hurt some child or put down. All i know he is not in my life now and me and my children are safe.

Yes i feel sorry for him as he said he didnt mean to do it and he hates himself for he did, he said he wanted to hang himself but if he can get help and be fixed and never see children as what ever and live normal

I have given statement to police and he will be going to court have to wait. I know your all trying to help here but its hard for me right now i have lost my best friend and lover who i was meant to spend the rest of my life with.

BondGirl72 agony auntI think you are a bit confused yourself. You posted a question about your boyfriend's disturbing photos, now you have convinced yourself that those photos are "ok" because he "didn't see them as wrong".

Didn't see them as wrong? And now you feel sorry for him?

Let me tell you something. If the guy thought they were wrong, he would have wiped those pictures clean from his computer. However, he didn't.

Now you are feeling sorry for him because he is just a little "disturbed"? Do you not realize that people who do this to children AND people who look at and fancy these pictures are engaging in criminal activity? So the rest of society finds him to be a criminal who looks at child porn, but you feel sorry for him?

I am sorry, but if that is the way you feel, you are in need of some help also.

Honeypie agony auntI understand that you feel a sense of empathy for this guy, the thing is if he knew and still knows that those images are sick why did he not delete it? It doesn't make sense.

And I doubt you can find many 19 year old who DOESN'T KNOW instinctual & intellectually that it is VERY wrong - the guy needs help. Mental help.

A female reader, YouWish United States +, writes (1 October 2012):

YouWish agony auntHe *is* a nasty man. He is beyond nasty, because the screams of toddlers didn't even enter his mind when he derived sexual pleasure from pictures of their abuse.

Serial killers, rapists, child molesters, pretty much all of them hate themselves. That doesn't stop them from what they do, and whether or not they "like" themselves doesn't stop them from wanting to destroy the innocence of little children.

Why do you *think* he has a hard time with relationships? Why do you *think* that he is "shy"? You're so busy feeling sorry for him that you don't see the signs for what they are. It goes far beyond the pictures. His urges to have sex with little children and toddlers has made him aware that his sexual urges keep him from having true relationships. Do you think he would be with you if you didn't have little girls??

This guy has *FILMS* depicting men having sex and incest with children. This isn't something to ever feel sorry over him for. He isn't shy. He is a sexual deviant who is more turned on by your little girls than he his by you.

I'm happy you got him out of your house, if you're indeed telling the truth. But you have to go farther. You need him out of your very life. You need to eliminate his access to you, your children, and your entire world.

If you keep feeling sorry for him, talking to him, thinking about him, keeping him in your life, then you keep your girls in danger. All it takes is for you to stay familiar to him and him to use that familiarity to insinuate himself back into your life and your daughters' lives.

If you are this emotionally needy and deluded and can't help yourself from seeing him (the worst mistake of your life), then for god sake, get your daughters away from you, because you are a danger to them. Get them to your ex, or call the state or something, because your love for your children should erase any good or pitiable feelings for this pedophile, and if it doesn't, you put them in grave danger.

BondGirl72 agony auntWhy are you making excuses for him? There is no way to help you or your children if you are going to make excuses. Why would it matter if he was a teenager when he put them on there. That would make it even more disturbing to me...that he has had this preference since he was a teen and how many other kids have been around him? No normal person, teen or adult, has this stuff on his computer. Do you understand that?

Okay we spoke last night as i wanted to know, he has handed himself to the police and explained to me a lot last night.

I don't think he was like that as he is not a nasty man amd i know you all mean well. He is just a bit mixed up.

I for one has got away from him though and will never see him again. He did explain he was young and curious at that age and when he got with his first girlfriend he realised that with kids is wrong and he hated himself for what he did.

It's hard to explain to you all as he didn't see this as wrong but said once he knew he hated himself and since he has let the pc thing in his mothers and forgot about them as years ago.

I am glad i am away bit. i can't help feel sorry for him i know he couldn't harm anyone even kids or animal or me.

He is so shy. It took ages to move him in as he doesnt do a lot for himself.

Thank you for your help though this man has gone and i am safe with girls.

You have a chance here to get him away from your children before he possibly does something to them that they will NEVER FORGET and will RUIN their lives.

Kick him out. No questions, no "ifs" no "buts" no "maybes", just him out. Now.

If he does something to your children you will never forgive yourself, and they will NEVER forgive you. Trust me, I know.

Get this creep out of your house, save your children. No man is worth ruining your children's life.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but as someone who already had their childhood ruined - I am telling you it is not even worth the risk if you love your children.

A female reader, YouWish United States +, writes (1 October 2012):

YouWish agony auntIt may only be illustrations and not actual photos depicting children doing unspeakable acts, but it most certainly IS a neon flashing sign that he is sexually turned on by little girls like your daughters. Every day he's in your house, he is fantasizing about destroying your daughters' vaginas....and I can't even write more in more detail because even sitting here and typing out the sheer violence of violating a child is horrific to me, and I know I'm not alone.

Why the hell are you still talking to us about this??? Him being young at the time has nothing to do with whether he has those feelings or not. HE HAS THEM. Those don't go away without serious, permanent, ongoing, neverending psychotherapy, and even then, the rate of recidivism for those who have acted on them is obscenely high.

You *have* to get away from him, and even more importantly, you *have* to get your kids away from him. Not many moms get the heads-up you just got. Usually, their first warning is their terrified children being raped over and over under the threat of killing you if they ever talk.

You are a mom before anything and above all else. He has a *lot* of lolicon. This isn't some random picture that a perverted buddy sent him. He went looking for this. Get him out of your house immediately.

From here on out, if you don't get him away and out of your life, you are responsible for any harm done to your children by him. You should be thinking that he got close to you to get to your daughters. Your rationalization of trying to find an excuse for what you found is horrifying, and should horrify you that you are wavering a millimeter from imminent danger to your children. We are moms. We would give our lives for them. If we ever saw someone hurting our children, we would move heaven and earth, even if it meant spending our last breath to protect them.

No man is worth sacrificing your children, and even every second of his running his eyes over your child is a violation. Think they don't feel that? They do.

This guy is a pedophile, OP. He may have a way with words but that's the only one suitable for him. He's bad news. He's manipulative. Look at you, you're just a puppet on his strings, barely able to think for yourself. Something propelled you to come here: your gut. Listen to it.
