I'm not sure that's true. Do you have any actual data that backs it up? 'Cause from the information I'm aware of, >90% of child sexual abuse is committed by family members. There is very little risk of child molestation by strangers.

In any case, when it comes to R.C. Fox, it's not clear what danger he would've posed. Perhaps you are aware of what sort of link there is between consumption of child pornography and actual sexual assault but there is a general tendency that consumption of child pornography leads to lower incidence of child sexual abuse.

On a more general point, it seems like restrictions on where most sexual offenders can live and sexual offender registries do not actual improve the situation. In fact some of those restrictions, though not for cases of paedophilia, were being lifted in California.
